Bride and Prejudice Australia 2019‘s Dannii Erskine has hard-launched a new boyfriend after a controversial ordeal that saw her announced as dead.
Alarm bells were raised when Dannii’s Instagram page started sharing memorium posts about the reality star before someone claiming to be her sister Dee Erskine told So Dramatic! Dannii had died in April following a fatal car accident.
Dannii has since confirmed she is “alive and well” and maintains the drama is part of an elaborate “death hoax” orchestrated by a “well-known stalker”, despite sources claiming she has “faked” her death in the past.
Now, Dannii has used her newfound fame as a platform to reveal she’s bouncing back from the drama with a new bae in tow.
Taking to her Instagram Story on May 21, the Melburnian shared a snap of her locking lips with a mystery man.
“Cat’s out of the bag,” she captioned the post.
In a subsequent Story, she posted a snap of the dark-featured fella smiling at the camera alongside a kiss-face emoji.
Dannii was previously wed to Denton Ansley, whom she appeared on Bride and Prejudice with.
Dannii has maintained that her family are not involved in the “death hoax”, despite family members seemingly corroborating news of her death on social media and demanding $100k from the media to speak.
Her Bride and Prejudice co-star Jojo Ellias has also shared screenshots of her conversation with Dee, in which she confirmed her sister had died.
Proof emerges that Dannii Erskine’s sister CONFIRMED she was dead
“So on the 29th of April, which was when it all sort of got announced, I messaged Dee on Facebook,” Jojo explained in episode 290 of the So Dramatic! podcast.
“Hey Dee, it’s Jojo here. Is this true?” she wrote alongside a screenshot of the death notice on Dannii’s Instagram page.
The following morning, Dee responded: “Hi Jojo no its [sic] not true at all.
“One of her exs [sic] has done all this he just got out of jail now the police have him barrackaed [sic] around [his] house at the moment.”
Telling host Megan Pustetto that the Erskine family “love the drama”, Jojo said Dee sent another message an hour later.
“Im really sorry cant comment. and appreciations if you would keep this to yourself and social media i will keep in contact [sic],” it read.
Then, just 22 minutes later, Dee wrote: “Also you have danniis number i didnt think you girls have much time for her so im a bit confused [sic].
“And yes she is dead.”
A fourth message read: “Also i dont have anytime time for you so enjoy yoir soical media and dont contact me as we are all grieving!! [sic].”
