Logie Awards 2025 RECAP: Home and Away star Lynne McGranger finally wins the coveted Gold Logie – but a remark about her husband left the room of A-listers speechless

Lynne McGranger has won the Gold Logie for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television.

The Home and Away star, 72, was overcome with emotion as she was announced as the winner of the most coveted award of the night.

Kate Miller-Heidke and Sonia Kruger helped Lynne carry her dramatic dress train as she made her way to the stage.

’33 years I’ve done this amazing show and I’m thrilled and honoured,’ she said while accepting the award.

She went on to say that she would eventually place her Gold Logie next to her 1974 Wagga Wagga Drama Festival Best Actress award, which sparked her decision to pursue a career in acting.

But before doing so, the actress said she’d keep the award in her purse, making a dig at last year’s Gold Logie winner Larry Emdur in the process.

‘I did promise that if I won the Gold Logie, I would carry it around in my handbag for a year, which is better than baring my white arse on morning television, Larry!’

Lynne also took time to thank her fellow nominees, the Home and Away crew and the fans who keep ‘free-to-air television alive’.

But it was what she said about her husband while accepting her previous award that left the crowd speechless.

After winning Best Lead Actress in a Drama, Lynne thanked the writers and cast of Home and Away, as well as her daughter and husband, who told her he’d ‘rather swallow a hammer’ than attend her big night.

This is Lynne’s first ever Gold Logie.

The actress thanked the writers and cast of Home and Away, as well as her daughter and husband, who hilariously said he’d ‘rather swallow a hammer’ than attend the ceremony with her.

Those who are still tuning into the 2025 Logies have flooded social media site X to share their thoughts on Richard Marx’s performance.

Many of the viewers commented on how late the awards show had run, pointing out that the poorly-timed performance was putting them ‘to sleep’.

Despite online criticism of the performance, the Logie audience could be seen jamming along to the American singer’s medley of hits.

Richard even had Kate Miller-Heidke up on her feet, and she tried to get others to join her for a boogie.

The song struck a chord among audience members as it was the same song performed by Marcia at Maggie Tabberer’s funeral earlier this year.

Maggie, a pioneer in the fashion, publishing and television industry, passed away in December last year and was honoured by the Logies during the In Memoriam segment.

The TV star was a dual winner of the Gold Logie.

Just two months after she revealed her cancer diagnosis, Magda Szubanski has been etched into the annals of Australian TV history after being inducted into the Logies Hall of Fame.

Magda is the fifth woman inducted into the Hall of Fame since it was introduced in 1984.

She joins the likes of Ruth Cracknell, Noni Hazlehurst, Kerri-Anne Kennerley, and Rebecca Gibney.

A litany of stars, including Hamish Blake, director George Miller, Little Britain’s Matt Lucas, US actress Melissa McCarthy and Magda’s Kath and Kim co-stars Gina Riley and Jane Turner, paid tribute to Magda’s ‘powerhouse’ comedic talent.

Magda was not there to accept the award in person as she is currently immunocompromised due to her cancer treatment.

Her Kath and Kim co-star and lifelong friend accepted the award on Magda’s behalf, with Magda offering an emotional video message.

‘I just want to say thank you so much for this honour,’ she said.

‘I feel very fortunate to have spent 40 years making myself and other people laugh.’

As she fought back tears, Magda thanked the Australian public for the outpouring of support amid her cancer battle.

‘I love you all and hopefully I will be there soon,’ she said.

James Bracey’s awkward joke landed on deaf ears when he took to the Logies stage with Ally Langdon.

As the pair accepted the award for Best Sports Coverage, James referred to a magazine article that said Ally was ‘big sister vibes’, which he claimed made him her annoying little brother.

He then proceeded to lick his finger and stick it in Ally’s ear, a move known as a ‘wet willy’.

The bizarre moment raised eyebrows in the audience and had fans at home cringing on their couches.

Erin was found guilty of murdering her former in-laws by lacing a beef Wellington with death cap mushrooms.

Jimmy Barnes has kicked off the 2025 Logie Awards with a rousing rendition of his iconic track Working Class Man.

The stage was set ablaze as Jimmy belted out the Australian classic to a packed house.

Allison Langdon left fans guessing on Sunday night after she dropped a cheeky hint to Daily Mail about her mystery celebrity crush while walking the red carpet at the 2025 Logie Awards.

Bachelor star Brittany Hockley left Dr Chris Brown speechless as she twerked during the red carpet broadcast.

The odd moment for the 37-year-old was captured on Channel Seven, showing her throwing it back for the cameras as Chris and Kyle Shilling watched on.

‘I’ve been working on my moves,’ she said before awkwardly moving her hips.

Brittany is a finalist on this year’s Dancing With The Stars.

Aussie stars have braved the soggy Sydney weather to make a sartorial splash on the red carpet ahead of the 65th TV Week Logie Awards – and boy was it worth it.

TV’s ‘night of nights’ lit up The Star in Pyrmont on Sunday afternoon, with a glittering guest list of household names strutting their stuff in lace, leather, and more sparkle than a disco ball.

And while some absolutely nailed it with slinky silhouettes, bold cuts, and jaw-dropping sequins, others… let’s just say their glam squads might be getting a stern debrief tomorrow morning.

Natalie Gruzlewski has arrived at this year’s Logies, marking a big moment for the TV star.

The Farmer Wants a Wife host, who hasn’t been seen on a red carpet since 2014, broke her hiatus while wearing a jaw-dropping black dress, complete with a feather fringe.

She’s one of the most recognisable faces on Australian television – on Sunday Sonia Kruger ensured all eyes were firmly on her as she arrived at the 2025 Logie Awards.

The 59-year-old TV favourite commanded attention in a jaw-dropping strapless gold gown by Victorian fashion designer Alin Le’ Kal that clung to her incredible figure and shimmered under the red carpet lights.

Speaking to Daily Mail, Sonia revealed that her date for the evening was none other than her sister, Deb.

‘This is actually my sister who’s my date for the evening,’ Sonia said with a smile. ‘There’s a great team of people who are all here tonight.’

The sports commentator wore a glittering silver gown that hugged her curves in all the right places.

She completed the look with a daring dark lip and slicked-back bun.

Grant Denyer’s wife, Chezzi, was lucky to avoid a wardrobe malfunction on the red carpet.

As the Deal or No Deal star struck a playful pose, the strap on Chezzi’s sheer, silver gown fell from her shoulder.

The pair appeared to take the near faux pas in good humour.

Sunrise hosts Natalie Barr and Matt Shirvington wore big grins as they arrived at the Logies.

Natalie donned a stunning cream-coloured dress complete with a draped design, high neckline and dramatic cape, while Shirvo opted for a sleek, all-black ensemble.

Ricki-Lee Coulter stunned as she arrived at the 2025 Logies.

The singer and radio star turned heads in a plum-coloured dress that boasted a thigh-high slit and shimmering texture.

Tracy Grimshaw appears to be a no-show on the Logies red carpet this year, despite her successor Allison Langdon confirming her attendance.

But Langdon confirmed on The Kyle & Jackie O Show on Friday morning that Tracy was going to step out on the red carpet.

Matty J Johnson was certainly in a playful mood when he arrived at the 2025 Logies.

Wearing an eye-catching pale pink suit, the 2025 I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! star was not afraid to ham it up for photographers.

Samantha Armytage looked absolutely stunning as she stepped out in a gorgeous gown on the 2025 Logie Awards red carpet at The Star in Sydney.

Sam stepped out with Golden Bachelor star Barry ‘Bear’ Myrden.

Radio star Carrie Bickmore looked effortlessly glamorous as she stepped out onto the Logies red carpet.

Emily Weir suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction on Sunday night as she stepped out in a very racy white gown on the 2025 Logie Awards red carpet at The Star in Sydney.

The Home and Away star, 35, almost flashed more than she bargained for during entertainment’s night of nights as she rocked a very high thigh split.

She was forced to hold down the front of her gown to avoid any raunchy mishaps while arranging the train of the one-shouldered frock.

The broadcast has not yet kicked off, but viewers have already taken to social media to slam the 2025 Logies.

Angela Bishop showed off her svelte form as she arrived at the 2025 Logie Awards.

The Channel 10 star, 57, looked sun-kissed in her black, off-shoulder gown, flashing a lot of leg with a thigh-high slit.

She paired her look with chunky silver high heels and heavy cuff bracelets to match.

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! host Julia Morris opted for comfort as she hit the red carpet for the 2025 Logie Awards.

The Gold Logie nominee arrived on the red carpet wearing a pair of white Adidas sneakers.

Julia is up against Poh Ling Yeow, Lynne McGranger, Ally Langdon, Sonia Kruger, Hamish Blake, and Lisa Millar for the prestigious award.

The Gold Logie nominee, 59, arrived with a bang as she stepped out in a glittering strapless gown resembling molten gold beneath the lights.

But what really caught the attention of attendees was the huge yellow gem shining on her ring finger, surrounded by smaller diamonds.

The two began their romance shortly after Sonia split from her British banker husband, James Davies.

Sonia was all smiles as she strutted her stuff down the red carpet, ensuring the dazzling ring took centre stage.

Aussie TV’s finest stars will walk the red carpet at tonight’s TV Week Logie Awards.

Sonia, 59, who has been nominated for the Gold Logie, took to Instagram on Sunday morning to show off her chaotic hotel room as she prepped for the event.

‘This is my room, getting glammed for the Logies. We have a few things going on. I put champagne on ice because that’s for later,’ she said.

‘Look at this room, it’s already a mess but just wait till you see it in a few hours it will be like a bomb has gone off.’

Home and Away star Lynne McGranger also shared a photo of the setup at The Star casino in Sydney.

‘It’s starting,’ she wrote, adding a heart-eye emoji.

Her co-star Ada Nicodemou revealed she was hydrating her skin with a face mask before getting her makeup done.

Earlier, Ada and her boyfriend James Stewart had urged fans to vote for Lynne to win the Gold Logie after checking into their hotel.

‘We just checked into our hotel and we thought we’d do a cute little video reminding everyone they need to vote for Lynne,’ they said.

I’m A Celebrity’s Julia Morris also revealed she was doing a fake tan and painting her nails in her hotel room on Saturday night.

Not all stars will be in attendance at the Logies on Sunday night, with some celebrities choosing to skip the event.

Some of the biggest names not to make the guest list include MasterChef 2024 runner-up Josh ‘Pezza’ Perry, The Block’s Ricky Recard and the whole of the Married At First Sight cast.

Robert Irwin, who co-hosts I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! with this year’s Gold Logie nominee, Julia Morris, won’t be there to cheer on his co-host.

Daily Mail exclusively revealed last week that the 21-year-old conservationist is not on the attendee list, with Channel 10 confirming his absence on Thursday.

The Block’s Scott Cam and Shelley Craft received a Logies invite; however, the teams from last year’s 20th season – including fan-favourite Ricky Recard – did not.

Similarly, Manu Feildel and Colin Fassnidge of My Kitchen Rules will be in attendance, but the teams from the 2024 season – including champion Simone Preste – are understood to be missing it.

Despite Real Housewives of Sydney being nominated for the first time at the Logies, none of the show’s stars were invited to the glitzy event.

MasterChef Australia judges Sofia Levin and Poh Ling Yeow will be at the Logies, with Poh up for the most coveted award of the night, The Gold Logie.

It is not yet known if Farmer Wants a Wife host Natalie Gruzlewski and Australian Survivor host Jonathan LaPaglia will be at the ceremony, but it’s highly unlikely considering Natalie’s 10-year red carpet hiatus and Jonathan’s recent axing by Channel 10.

The Logie nominations were officially announced in June at the Sydney Opera House, seeing a slew of Aussie favourites up for big awards in television.

Where are the Logies being held?

‘I am very excited to return for another Logies and would like to thank Seven for asking me back,’ Sam said in a statement in May.

‘It’s been an honour to host the last two years and I’m looking forward to again celebrating the talented people and amazing shows that combine to make the Australian television industry something everyone can be proud of.’
