Skye Wheatley has opened up about the escalating tensions in her relationship with her partner Lachlan Waugh, amid extensive renovations on their Gold Coast home.
The influencer, 31, discussed the situation on the latest episode of her Nova podcast Skye & Callum, in which she admitted she and Lachlan had been constantly arguing.
‘He is so annoying… he harassed, harassed, harassed for the furniture to be delivered,’ Skye began.
She added it was not a good time for the planned delivery as the property was not set up for it.
‘There’s no f***ing roof! Like what do you want to do with this furniture? It’s just sitting there in boxes. There’s dust and s**t everywhere,’ she vented.
‘I’m not getting that f***ing furniture out of the box.’

She then said the process was also hurting their financial well-being.
‘We’ve had to take out a second loan… the first loan was $800K, the second loan was $400K, and we’re not even gonna be completely finished,’ she said.
‘We need to clean! That’s a whole other job in itself. The tradies don’t get paid to go in and clean up after themselves.’
Skye has long been open about the difficulties of her home renovation project, and in July last year, she shocked her fans by getting into a screaming match with her partner Lachlan during a work day.
The podcaster shared a shocking video on Instagram showing Lachlan giving Skye a tour of the renovation work at their new home.
The footage began with Lachlan showcasing the work, pointing out which rooms would feature skylights to let in the beaming sun.
‘I’ve just ordered the windows and designed the room myself!’ a proud Lachlan told Skye, who initially agreed his plans were ‘stunning’.
However, Skye soon became upset with some of Lachlan’s plans and questioned why he’d included skylights in some rooms but not others.

‘A skylight is pointless in this room because of the beautiful window. We could have used that skylight in the [walk-in wardrobe],’ a frustrated Skye began.
‘Oh my God, why wouldn’t you think of that? There’s skylights where they don’t need to be and none where they do need to be!’
However, Lachlan was having none of it and became frustrated as he told his partner he chose the ideal locations for the skylights – and insisted none was needed in the wardrobe.
‘It’s a f***ing room, how many rooms do you go in that are dark? It’s fine, what are you actually worried about, that you won’t be able to take a photo in there?’ a furious Lachlan asked.
Skye rose to fame back on Big Brother Australia in 2014 and is now a full-time influencer with 645,000 followers.
In 2023, Wheatley put her $75,000 Mercedes on the market to help finance the renovation work on her luxurious Gold Coast mansion.
The former Big Brother star-turned-influencer shared a photo of her white Mercedes on Instagram, inviting interested buyers to message her.
