Chrissie admits their sleeping arrangements, while unorthodox, work because it ensures they all sleep.

“If I wasn’t having to get up at 4.30am I might try something else, but whatever works right?” she says.

40-year-old Chrissie says she doesn’t believe in feeling guilty for having a career, saying: “Work makes me a better person.”

The star, who found fame on Big Brother and now shares with airwaves with Jane HAll on Melbourne's Mix 101.1's breakfast show, this week adds acting to her list of accomplishments, starring in an episode of hit Aussie drama, Offspring.

"I've watched every episode of every season so when they contacted me and said 'We might have a role for you playing yourself', I was very excited," she told AAA.

"I was really nervous turning up because actors are so clever and creative and, of course, I was a huge fan of the show.

"But they were so kind and so relaxed that straight away I felt very at ease", she added.
