It seems there’s never a dull year in the world of showbiz. 

From Roxy Jacenko’s kiss with her ex boyfriend, jacketgate that made international headlines, to Australian Idol star Shannon Noll’s strip club arrest, 2017 has been full of shocking celebrity scandals. 

Daily Mail Australia takes a look back at the year that was.

ROXY’S KISS WITH NABIL 

Shock: While Roxy Jacenko’s husband Oliver Curtis was spending time behind bars for conspiracy to commit insider trading, the 37-year-old PR queen was pictured locking lips with her millionaire ex-boyfriend, Nabil Gazal (pictured together)

While Roxy Jacenko’s husband Oliver Curtis was spending time behind bars for conspiracy to commit insider trading, the 37-year-old PR queen was pictured locking lips with her millionaire ex-boyfriend, Nabil Gazal.

The sensational photos, taken in May, saw the married mother-of-two in an intimate embrace with the property developer at his luxury Sydney apartment at a post-dinner party.

Embracing in front of large glass windows located near a balcony, the pair appeared unfazed about hiding their PDA session from outside eyes.

Despite rekindling her romance with Oliver following the shock sighting, Roxy admitted to News.com.au in August that at the time she thought her marriage was over.

She said: ’I’d spoken to a lawyer about divorce, and he (Oliver) knew that, I’d told him.’

JACKETGATE 

Controversial: In January, Amber Sherlock (R) made international headlines thanks to her infamous ’jacketgate’ row with reporter Julie Snook (L)

In January, Amber Sherlock made international headlines thanks to her infamous ’jacketgate’ row with reporter Julie Snook. 

Amber became upset with Julie for wearing the same colour outfit as her as they presented live on Nine News. 

The leaked footage showed her demanding Julie put on a jacket so the two women were not both wearing white on screen.

Speaking to her producer, Amber said: ’I need Julie to put a jacket on because we’re all in white. I asked her before we came on… Julie you need to put a jacket on.’

Unimpressed: The leaked footage showed her demanding Julie put on a jacket so the two women were not both wearing white on screen (seen with a guest psychologist who was also in white)

Outrage: The incident sparked a massive wave of social media backlash, with several comments far too vulgar to print

Julie said she didn’t have time to change, but Amber wasn’t impressed. 

’Come on I told you two hours ago,’ Amber said, demanding her to change before going live. 

Psychologist Ms Rea, who appeared as a guest during the segment, offered to find a jacket herself as she was also wearing white. 

The incident sparked a massive wave of social media backlash, with several comments far too vulgar to print.

Amber later admitted she ’possibly overreacted’ about the incident and cited stress, tiredness and the hot weather in defense of her actions.

The Sunday Telegraph alleged that the former women’s magazine editor was holding out on re-signing, until she was granted ’pay parity’ with co-host Karl Stefanovic.

It was suggested the reason Lisa wanted the same money as Karl, who was ’rumoured to be on twice as much’. 

The Australian reported that Karl earns at least $2 million a year in a three-year contract with a potential bonus that could take his salary to $3 million if ratings are hit.

DON BURKE’S SEXUAL HARASSMENT SCANDAL

On the back of the Harvey Weinstein scandal rocking Hollywood, Don Burke made headlines after a number of woman came forward and claimed he sexually harrassed them and made lewd comments towards them.

A guest on Burke’s Backyard claims Don made her wear a short dress and tried to push her onto a bed in her own home.

Julie Nielsen appeared on the iconic gardening show as an interior decorator, and said Burke’s demeanor changed when the cameras were off.

She claimed that from the moment he walked in the door he was constantly talking about sex, including group sex and anal sex.

’I opened the door and he stepped inside and said ”g’day Jules I bet you’d shock a bad boy. Do you take it up the a**e or what?”’ she told A Current Affair.

Ms Nielsen said Burke put his arm around her and pulled her into him as he said it ’like a drunk guy at a bar’.

Grilled by Tracy Grimshaw on ACA, Burke grimaced when he heard what he allegedly said to Ms Nielsen, but firmly denied it. 

’Never. Never anything like that, nor would I,’ he said. 

Burke strenuously denied all the allegations and described his accusers as ’malcontents’ who ’bear grudges against me’.
