So when I was at what felt like the point of no return, something inside me said, ‘I have to change. [I] need help.’ The turning point for me was hitting rock bottom.”
“I was fortunate I had people around me when I needed them. I tried everything I could [to get better]. The struggle out isn’t easy, but I clawed my way out.”

7plus Interview
Why did you sign up to Dancing With The Stars?
I have loved Dancing With The Stars since I was a little girl. It is such an amazing show full of glitz, glam and red-hot routines. I have always marvelled at the dancers on the show and to be a part of the show has always been a dream of mine.
Do you have any fears going into the show?
Absolutely: falling on my face, forgetting the steps and not doing my dance partner proud. I have more excitement and enthusiasm than fear and just want to have fun and celebrate doing something as cool as learning a new skill.
What do you think your dancing strengths are or will be?
I am pretty risky, so I will try anything that my partner throws at me. I say yes to everything, and try it once. I’m all about throwing myself 100% into the process. I also have a very strong work ethic and know this competition requires a lot of stamina and persistence, so I have that in my back pocket.
Do you have any previous injuries that you need to consider?
I have a bit of a bad lower back and my knees can be clicky old gals but it is all about stretching and not overexerting too much.
How many hours are you rehearsing each week?
It varies with my Home and Away schedule, but I’m doing at least 25 hours a week.
Do you have any fun dancing anecdotes?
[I] once was dancing on a podium when I was out with my friends and trying to do some sexy moves while walking backwards. I misjudged how long the podium was and ended up on the ground with a hurt ankle. I got wheeled out of the establishment and off to hospital to get some crutches.
Who’s your biggest threat to win the show?
I think everyone is unique in their own way and brings something individual to the competition. I think Paulini and Virginia are going to be amazing.
