Joh & Jamie's Showdown

Tension between the two House Rules stars is at crisis point as Jamie eyes off Joh’s crown

Just weeks into its seventh season and major cracks are already beginning to show on Seven’s hit series House Rules because of the bitter rivalry erupting between Jamie Durie and Joh Griggs.

“There have been secret crisis meetings at Seven,” confirms one insider, who says Joh is “furious” that the network appears to be promoting Jamie and sidelining her.

“Joh’s absolutely steaming – and she has every right to be! She’s been at the network for more than 15 years and is a big part of the success of the show, yet she’s feeling pushed aside by Jamie.”

Jamie, 49, joined the cast of House Rules this year as a judge, replacing architect Drew Heath, and joining flamboyant style consultant Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and former magazine editor Wendy Moore.

And while Joh had no issue with his appointment, our insider says tensions have steadily been reaching boiling point as he’s given more and more attention and air time.

JAMIE, JAMIE, JAMIE!
