You’re out and about. Suddenly you are in the presence of a superstar and you ask politely to get a selfie. These are the stories behind some of them.

Cindy Butler and Kendra Wilkinson – “I met Kendra (one of the stars of Girls of the Playboy Mansion) at Palazzo Versace. She was out here filming ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me out of Here.’ We chatted for a bit and she was super lovely and so nice.”

Belinda Dawes and Mike Tindall – “I try not to take selfie’s with celebrities but couldn’t resist this one with Mike Tindall at the Magic Millions Polo. The marquee was teeming with celebs." Azra Kujovic and Chris Hemsworth - “This was taken at the Byron Bay home of Chris and his wife Elsa Pataky. It was during a shoot for TAG Heuer of which Chris was a global ambassador. A really lovely, down to earth couple.”

Kelly Osbourne and Bianca Dye – “I was working for NOVA at the time and they asked me to cover the red carpet interviewing all the stars for the ARIA awards. I worked my butt off that night interviewing the stars. There was a lot of research involved and I was really nervous as it was my first big gig but I really connected with Kelly.”

Mike Tyson with Kimberley and Richard White – “While in Las Vegas we decided to announce our pregnancy with twins and went with the theme of ‘The Hangover’. In true Hangover style we included Caesar’s Palace, baby T-Shirts from the movie and managed to get Mike Tyson in on it. He actually got very excited about it which was funny and our little baby announcement, that we did for fun, blew up and this photo went viral.”

Paul Hogan and Susan East - “Bob (East) and I were attending ‘G’Day USA’ in Los Angeles. Miley Cyrus was on a table nearby with Liam Hemsworth and I managed to get a photo with Paul Hogan who was part of the ‘mock’ Crocodile Dundee advertisement for Tourism Australia that went viral. There were so many talented Australians there – Margot Robbie plus Bruna Papandrea from Big Little Lies, and so many more.”

Deborah Kells-Roach and Dolph Lundgren – “This is me with actor Dolph Lundgren who was on the Gold Coast for Supernova in April 2015. He came into the radio station to do an interview and was happy to do a photo.” Thea Jeanes-Cochrane with Sheppard – “This is taken before the historic 2020 AFL Grand Final at the ‘Gabba in Brisbane. Amy, Emma and George Sheppard were the headline act for the entertainment. It was an ambitious pre-game and half time show with just five weeks to plan in a Covid world, but I was so proud, alongside the AFL, to showcase 11 Australian artists and bands, the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, a 35-piece Student Drum Line, 300 performers, Indigenous performance groups from across Queensland, Surf Life Saving Queensland, and a beautiful choir.”
