The Rancan sisters deny rumours of a feud with eldest sibling Marissa

The iconic Rancan sisters have denied rumours of a feud over older sister Marissa’s Big Brother debut.

On Monday, Woman’s Day claimed that Marissa’s Big Brother gig had driven a wedge between herself and twins Lisa and Adele.

However, Adele told the publication that there’s no rift between the trio.

‘We’re absolutely just as close,’ the 57-year-old said.

‘We support each other in every way and we’re so excited to watch Marissa on Big Brother. She’s going to be entertaining, that’s for sure.’

Marissa, along with her Lisa and Adele, found fame in the 1980s as aerobics icons the Rancan sisters.

The 61-year-old has since left the fitness industry for a new career as a makeup artist, while her two sisters run their own fitness studio in Sydney’s Mosman.

‘We were the first three to bring aerobics to Australia. It started back in 1983 and we were known for our morning TV appearances,’ Marissa said in a promotional video for Big Brother.

‘We were like a household name. We had a cult following and would train celebrities,’ she added.

The Rancan Sisters opened their first aerobics studio in Cremorne, Sydney in 1981. 

As the business grew, they appeared daily on Channel 10’s Good Morning Australia, with stars such as Nicole Kidman heading to their gym for a workout.

Although the Rancan sisters’ glory days in the spotlight are now over, Marissa is set for another shot at fame on the upcoming season of Channel Seven’s Big Brother.

At 61, she’ll be the oldest housemate on the series, which is set to premiere soon.
