When they saw “A. Bloomfield” on the call sheet for this year’s Celebrity Treasure Island, several castaways thought the reality series had scored a coup by bagging New Zealand’s beloved DirectorGeneral of Health.
“Really?!” laughs former Shortland Street actress Angela Bloomfield when Woman’s Day relays the news.
“Why would Dr Ashley Bloomfield come on this show? He’s quite busy looking after the country. But I’ve got some time on my hands!”
However, that’s not to say the 48-year-old has been idle since her longtime alter ego Rachel McKenna left Ferndale in 2017. After a stint directing the soap, Angela ditched showbiz for real estate and just before filming started on Treasure Island, she sold three houses in one day!
“Everyone thinks they must be such different worlds, but there are real crossover aspects,” she tells us. “A lot of real estate is making sure people understand the information I’m giving them, which is what I’m doing with actors when I’m directing – and we film the properties, which is where acting comes in. I’ve run some training with my colleagues on how to relax on camera and not give away their nerves.”
