Love Island Australia viewers have been shocked to discover how a couple from the 2022 season lives.
Claudia Bonifazio and her reality TV co-star and boyfriend Austen Bugeja, who won season four of the show, gave a tour of their Sydney apartment in a recent TikTok video.
In the clip, the couple revealed that they pay $650 a week for their loft home, which initially appears to offer a decent and “nice” living space.
But the house has several flaws, which Claudia and Austen pointed out in the TikTok.
“We always wanted a loft apartment,” Austen said. “But I can’t even fit upstairs!”

The 24-year-old then tried to climb the attic stairs before finding himself standing in the low-ceilinged attic space with a crooked neck.
Claudia, 25, and Austen admitted they initially wanted their double bed upstairs, but because Austen is ‘too big’ their small sleeping space is under the stairs in a corner.
“You can’t possibly fit in this bed,” the interviewer said, shocked.
The couple explained that they ‘always wanted a loft’ for a bedroom, but Austen can’t even fit upstairs
‘I know. My feet are hanging off,” Austen replied.
It was also revealed that the couple do not have a kitchen in their home, but there is a shared communal area that they admit they don’t use.
“We can’t cook here,” Austen said. “You can’t cook in this building.”
Claudia agreed, admitting that they “didn’t know” there was a “zoning” issue before signing the lease.
Instead, the couple has a small electric skillet in which they prepare their dinner outside on their balcony.

“I’ve met Austen’s family a few times now. They are so sweet,” Claudia told Ny Breaking Australia.
‘I was so nervous to meet them because Austen spoke so positively about them. But no, I’m obsessed, they’re actually the best.’
Claudia previously lived in Adelaide before moving to Sydney to live with Austen.
