But, as she says, she's always prioritized work in the past and now she wants to prioritize her personal life.

She was our newsreader on a commercial channel and I was so surprised when she announced she was going on the show.

It's not really my jam, too much drama. But I make an exception for Masterchef and So You Think You Can Dance because I do love cooking and dancing. I feel like those shows are more talent than drama, so that suits me fine :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07358827139946367507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-48156504151416755872016-10-12T09:56:17.229+11:002016-10-12T09:56:17.229+11:00Ooh, now that's good to know, Tash!
