In an interview with The Wayward, Sarah Jane admitted she has struggled with her Instagram fame, but is determined to show other that life doesn’t have to be ‘quietly lived’.
‘I realised that somewhere amongst all that, people were basically attracted to my attitude, and the knowledge that you can be far more disruptive by just quietly living your life,’ she said.
Big Brother will return to Channel Seven in the coming months.
