TALLEBUDGERA The Bachelorette star Apollo Jackson looks like he’s feeling the heat in teasers for tonight’s premiere of Australia’s Got Talent, but spare a thought for girlfriend Edyn Mackney.
The fellow Gold Coaster and Love Island alumni was in the audience when the magician’s death-defying stunt took a horrifying turn.
“She probably was a bit nervous and scared watching things, but she never shows it,” Jackson says.

“She supports all the crazy wild things I do and doesn’t bat an eyelid.
“Sometimes I think ‘I’m actually doing something crazy’ and then I look over at her and she’s not freaking out, so I think it must be OK.
“She came to all the (Australia’s Got Talent) rehearsals as well. She sees how much I love what I do.”
While the multitalented Jackson — whose resume includes everything from security to a stint in horticulture with Gold Coast City Council — also works as a music artist, DJ, actor and pro wrestler, it may just be the magician tag that gets the girls.

“Looking at America and Britain’s Got Talent you can see magic is back on the rise again. It’s a resurgence, it’s cool again.
“I think it’s a good icebreaker for meeting people in general.”
