Good Morning Australia -
(On her exchange with Demis Roussos)
We were just standing there to do a photo shoot with him and it was like...silent, no one was saying anything. And then I just thought well I better make some conversation, so I said, "Um Demis you know, maybe Alex (Dimitriades) and I will bump into you in Athens some time," and he said, "I don't live in Athens." And I said, "Oh, well where do you live?" and he said "I live in Paris!" Then I got a little upset with him and said, "Well maybe we'll find you in Paris then!"
