I have a full grid with the exception of...

24a - Three-time champion of Australia A?I

There might be a letter missing but not necessarily.

The Guardian Prize is out soon so, once I have 24a, I'll put this aside until tomorrow.

Bren, that one’s hidden. Nothing missing. I had to google to confirm the 3 times bit.

Made it. Initially misled by the unusally large number of famous folk in the solutions, but that is the name of the game. Not until i finished that I reread the intro and fully understood the hint in the last sentence.

Final comment. Does not matter to me (I never submit), but others will surely want know whether to enter the clue solution or the grid entry.
