Some of the biggest names to not to make the guest list include MasterChef 2024 runner-up Josh ‘Pezza’ Perry, The Block’s Ricky Recard and the whole of the Married At First Sight cast.

‘To be honest, I felt like there was all this talk that we were gonna get invited, but I just didn’t trust it, so I actually booked a trip to Europe and I’m doing my own kind of publicity tour in London,’ she said.
‘None of us were bloody invited,’ she revealed, adding: ‘It’s a shame because I know the rest of the cast probably would have been looking forward to it too. I would have loved to have gone to the Logies with everyone.’
Despite the cast being left off the invite list, love experts John Aiken and Alessandra Rampolla will be in attendance to represent the popular show.
However, MAFS isn’t the only program that has seen cast members snubbed while their judges make the cut.
The Block’s Scott Cam and Shelley Craft received a Logies invite, however the teams from last year’s 20th season – including fan-favourite Ricky Recard – did not.
Similarly, Manu Feildel and Colin Fassnidge of My Kitchen Rules will be in attendance, but the teams from the 2024 season – including champion Simone Preste – are understood to be missing it.
Despite Real Housewives of Sydney being nominated for the first time at the Logies, none of the show’s stars were invited to the glitzy event.
Victoria Montano said she was under ‘no misconceptions’ over whether production would prioritise themselves for a seat at the ceremony, despite the Housewives opening up their lives for public consumption’.
