The departure of Gina Liano from the fifth season of The Real Housewives of Melbourne has left fans up in arms.
Now Foxtel s Brian Walsh has revealed the real reason Gina, 55, has made an exit from the reality show, revealing the past year of lockdowns and the Covid pandemic saw the barrister reevaluate her life and rediscover her passion for the law. It gave her an opportunity to re-evaluate and rediscover her love of practising law and she conducted a lot of her business virtually last year and she rekindled that great deep affection she has for her profession, he told The Daily Telegraph.
Gillies updated her Instagram followers last month on where she s at on her journey trying to fall pregnant, revealing she was undergoing IVF treatment. Just before the pandemic last year, Foxtel announced the season 5 cast in February, which at the time included Liano, Schiavello, Janet Roach, Gamble Breaux, and newcomers Kyla Kirkpatrick, Cherry Dipietrantonio and Anjali Rao. But there have been some changes since then. On top of the departure of Liano and Schiavello, and the re-addition of Gillies, there is a fresh face in the mix. Simone Elliott is also joining the aforementioned line-up.
