Home and Away's Nikau Parata modelling storyline takes a worrying turn
He takes on board some dangerous advice from Allegra.

Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian episodes, which some UK readers may prefer to avoid.

Home and Away has launched a new issue-based storyline for Nikau Parata on Australian screens.

Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) has started working as a model and is keen to impress his demanding new agent Sienna Blake.

Although Nikau has already made strong progress by impressing clients, booking regular jobs and building up a social media following, he's keen to take his career to the next level.

A worrying new direction for the storyline began on Australian screens on Thursday (May 27) as Nikau's fellow model Allegra Freeman gave him some advice.

As Nikau opened up over how he felt under pressure to stay in shape for his new job, Allegra suggested that he should start taking an appetite suppressant.

Allegra handed over a small supply of the suppressant to Nikau, explaining that it was produced by a friend of hers and she uses it herself, believing that it's all part of the job.

Nikau's girlfriend Bella Nixon (Courtney Miller) was understandably troubled when he confided in her about Allegra's suggestion, especially as ? with no ingredients listed ? he had no idea what he'd be putting into his body. Bella's concern turned to relief when Nikau clarified that he had no intention of using it.

However, when Bella suggested throwing it out in the garbage, Nikau held back and secretly decided to keep hold of it.

Nikau also decided to join the local gym for the first time and pushed himself hard with multiple workouts per day.

Other scenes saw him starting to lie to his friends and family about food, avoiding meals by claiming that he'd already eaten.

Home and Away is expected to continue exploring this issue in the coming weeks, as Nikau faces additional pressures and deals with the darker side of the modelling world.

Laura McDonald, who plays Allegra, recently hinted at this storyline when she told Australia's Daily Telegraph newspaper: "We definitely delve into disordered eating for sure."

Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in early July.

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).

Home and Away heartbreak for Nikau and Bella as their relationship hits crisis point
Can they get back on track?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...-crisis-point/

Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian episodes, which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.

Home and Away has hinted that Nikau Parata and Bella Nixon's relationship could be in big trouble.

The young couple continued to drift further apart in Thursday's triple bill of episodes in Australia (June 3), as Nikau's new career remained his sole focus of attention.

Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) has started working as a model, and although he was initially uncomfortable with the job, he's now throwing himself into the opportunity to help provide a better life for his family.

Unfortunately, Nikau's commitment has started to lead him down a troubling path, including pushing himself too hard with exercise and skipping meals.

Although Bella (Courtney Miller) remains unaware of this, she has noticed Nikau's obsession with his image and boosting his social media presence.

The final straw came in the show's latest episodes, as Nikau teamed up with his controlling agent Sienna Blake (Rose Riley) and fellow model Allegra Freeman (Laura McDonald) to host a promotional event that would secure him more online followers.

With help from Sienna, impressionable Nikau organised a poolside party which would be fully documented on social media.

As Nikau obsessed over every last detail of the day, Bella lost patience with the obvious change in her boyfriend and branded the whole scenario "fake".

In a row which threatened to jeopardise their future, Bella finally snapped and told Nikau: "You are turning into an insecure, social media obsessed fake. Nik, you're changing, and I don't like it very much."

Can Nikau and Bella work through this, or will their tension only get worse?

Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in early July.

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).

Home and Away's Nikau Parata keeps a devastating secret in new storyline
His future with Bella is under threat.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...tating-secret/

Home and Away spoilers follow from recent Australian episodes, which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.

Home and Away has kicked off an infidelity and blackmail storyline for Nikau Parata on Australian screens this week.

Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) is currently taking centre stage in the show as his new modelling career continues to threaten his relationship with Bella Nixon.

Ever since Nikau started throwing himself into his lucrative new career, Bella (Courtney Miller) has become concerned by changes in his behaviour and the tough demands of the job.

The situation took a shocking step further on Aussie screens this week, as Nikau's scheming agent Sienna Blake (Rose Riley) made it her mission to drive a bigger wedge between him and Bella.

When Nikau was busy with a photoshoot in the city which clashed with Bella and Emmett Ellison's big photography exhibition back in the Bay, Sienna slyly decided to delay his arrival so he couldn't be there to support his girlfriend.

With a little help from Nikau's fellow model Allegra Freeman, Sienna also tricked him into thinking that a romantic spark was developing between Bella and Emmett in his absence.

Stunned by the false thought that Bella could cheat on him, Nikau spent the night with Sienna in her city apartment. He only realised the next morning that Bella had done nothing wrong and he had been set up by Sienna and Allegra.

Finally fed up with Sienna's deception, Nikau vowed to pull out of an important work trip to Japan and quit the modelling agency altogether.

Sienna made it clear that this wasn't an option, threatening to blow apart Nikau's relationship with Bella unless he continued to cooperate.

Sienna warned: "You will fulfil your contract and you will go to Japan. Because if you don't, I'll tell Bella all about what happened between us."

Will Nikau be forced to continue following Sienna's orders to save his relationship?

Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in early August.

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia). Selected classic episodes are available via Amazon Prime Video in the UK.

Home and Away's Nikau Parata to make shock confession to Bella Nixon
Nikau is struggling with guilt as he keeps a secret from his girlfriend.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...ck-confession/

Home and Away spoilers follow for UK and Australian viewers.

Home and Away's Nikau Parata is set to make a big decision as he confesses the truth to girlfriend Bella Nixon about his recent night with Sienna Blake.

Ever since Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) began a modelling career, Bella (Courtney Miller) has had concerns about changes in Nikau's behaviour as he struggles to cope with the pressures and expectations that come with his new job.

Nikau's devious agent Sienna (Rose Riley) has made it her mission to drive a wedge between Nikau and Bella, including recently scheming with model Allegra Freeman (Laura McDonald) to not only make Nikau miss Bella's photography exhibition but also to convince him that Bella has a romantic spark with Emmett Ellison (JR Reyne).

Upset Nikau ended up spending the night with Sienna, before immediately regretting his actions the next morning.

Scheming Sienna is now using her night with Nikau to blackmail him into continuing his modelling work, but in upcoming scenes Nikau will decide enough is enough.

TV Week reports that, in scenes that will air this week in Australia and in around six weeks' time in the UK, Nikau will be facing further turmoil as he keeps his guilty secret.

While out on a photo shoot, Nikau will be taunted by fellow model Allegra as she makes sly comments to him about sleeping with Sienna, pushing Nikau to breaking point.

After Nikau confides in his uncle Tane Parata (Ethan Browne), Tane urges him to be truthful with Bella and Nikau vows to come clean to her, with actor Kawakawa saying that Nikau's secret "takes a toll on him".

How will Bella react to Nikau's devastating confession?

Actor Kawakawa, who plays Nikau, recently opened up about the challenges of his new storyline, saying that he felt "nervous" filming the modelling scenes.

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia). Selected classic episodes are available via Amazon Prime Video in the UK.

Home and Away airs devastating outcome of Nikau and Bella story
Is it all over between them?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...ating-outcome/

Major Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian pace episodes, which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.

Home and Away may have split up Nikau Parata and Bella Nixon for good.

The couple's relationship has been a ticking timebomb on Australian screens in recent weeks, after Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) cheated on Bella by sleeping with his scheming modelling agent Sienna Blake.

Nikau betrayed Bella (Courtney Miller) after Sienna tricked him into thinking that his girlfriend was being unfaithful with her photography mentor Emmett Ellison. He soon realised this wasn't the case, but the damage had already been done.

In Thursday night's episodes on Channel 7 in Australia (July 1), Nikau decided that it was time to tell Bella the truth.

Although Nikau had hoped to keep his shameful secret under wraps, his uncle Tane (Ethan Browne) repeatedly warned him that it was best to come clean before Bella found out from anybody else.

With Sienna slyly using the secret as leverage ? and Nikau's fellow model Allegra Freeman also in the know ? it was a real possibility that Bella could uncover the truth in another way.

Fearful that Sienna could get in there first, Nikau took Bella to the beach for a chat and confessed that he cheated on her with his ruthless agent.

Nikau explained the complicated circumstances, but Bella was understandably devastated and rushed off.

After confronting Sienna for her antics, Bella returned home to the pier apartment and refused to see Nikau.

Nikau did make an attempt to visit Bella and plead his case, but she kicked him out and made it clear that she was in no mood to speak to him.

Tane was pleased with his nephew's honesty and took matters into his own hands, warning Sienna that Nikau would have nothing more to do with her agency.

Sienna, who's planning to take Nikau and Allegra on a three-month work trip to Japan, smugly reminded Tane that Nikau is still under a strict contract.

Despite this, Nikau had similar ideas as he told Sienna: "I'm not going to Japan with you or anywhere else, ever. No matter what, I'm done."

Will Nikau be able to escape from Sienna's manipulation?

Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes in mid-August on Channel 5.

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia). Selected classic episodes are available via Amazon Prime Video in the UK.

Home and Away's Nikau Parata punches Ryder Jackson in row over Bella
His friends are starting to turn against him.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/hom...h-bella-chloe/

Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian pace episodes, which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.

This week on Home and Away, Nikau's friends are starting to turn against him for cheating on Bella. As Ryder confronts his mate, things quickly become violent.

The most recent trailer already teased things turning sour between Nikau, Bella (Courtney Miller) and Sienna (Rose Riley), after Nikau recently came clean to Bella about cheating on her with his modelling agent Sienna.

His hopes of ever getting back with Bella are shattered in scenes airing this week in Australia and in six weeks in the UK when she tells it to him in plain terms: "You are dead to me."

However, Nikau actor Kawakawa Fox-Reo told TV Week: "Nikau will always be in love with Bella."

His actions are also starting to divide his friends: while Chloe (Sam Barrett) defends Nikau and believes it's all Sienna's fault for tricking him into cheating on Bella to control him, Ryder (Lukas Radovich) can't justify his friend's actions.

And for both, things will start to get fiery. Chloe confronts Bella and attacks her for breaking up with Nikau. Bella, however, is resolute in her position and tells Chloe to mind her own business.

Meanwhile, Ryder catches up with Nikau, who is in no mood to discuss things or get lectured by his friend. When Ryder pushes him to talk about the affair, Nikau's frustration takes over and he delivers a vicious punch to his mate's face.

Chloe is there to tend to Ryder's bruises, but it's unclear whether the friendship between the two men can be healed as well.

Now that he has lost the love of his life and potentially his friends too, Nikau might be more inclined to take Sienna up on her offer to leave Summer Bay for a three-month modelling stint in Japan.

Will Nikau leave everything behind and move on with Sienna?

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia). Selected classic episodes are available via Amazon Prime Video in the UK.
