Ah, Big Brother. Thems were the days.

That’s more than 100 contestants we’ve watched shower, eat, frolic and share their secrets on national television.

Social media has always been her bag, but she’s gone from being a “social media strategist” to being one of Australia’s most successful influencers.

She’s also a blogger, writer and has just added podcast host to her achievements.
