One of those phone calls was not so welcome. It was a call from MIQ officials after someone dobbed Malcolm in after she made a social media post.

Actor Robyn Malcolm s similarity to her
Outrageous Fortune character Cheryl is more than skin deep. Just like the matriarch of the West family, who started the lingerie business Hoochie Mama, Malcolm has launched her very own knicker venture, Robyn s Undies, which she works on with her sister between various acting projects.
The 56-year-old says Covid-19 lockdowns were the catalyst for starting the venture when her on-screen work dried up and, like many actors, found herself at home with nothing to do.
Over the past 10 years, 80 per cent of her acting work has been overseas, so she found herself out of work for almost a year, until January.
