    Former swimmer Grant Hackett sent tongues wagging when he was spotted embracing a blonde woman outside his apartment last week, just weeks before the one-year anniversary of his divorce from Candice Alley.

    Turns out the mystery lady is Shane Blackett (Hackett, Blackett, cute huh?), a model who works as a hostess at Ivy’s exclusive Level 6 penthouse in Sydney.

    The first anniversary of London 2012 is closing in on Halsall with almost suffocating intensity – and she needs a deep breath before revealing her scars. “I’m still dealing with it, and I will have to continue dealing with it, because it’s not going to go away, is it?” Halsall admits. “I’ll probably never get over the fact, or get it completely out of my head, that London was something I’d worked hard for over so many years. I didn’t get what I’d been hoping for and it’s taking a long time to come to terms with that.”

    (Video from when Halsall won her 8th British 50 free title in Sheffield, two weeks ago)
