Dame Susan's treasure! HE'S A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK

If there’s one thing Dame Susan Devoy knows how to do, it’s win. Though she missed out by a hair to make it to the finals of Celebrity Treasure Island last year, now she has a second chance with Fans v Faves she’s not going to let it slip through her fingers – even if that means taking out her own son, Josh Oakley.

“Josh wouldn’t expect me to throw in the towel just for him to win and vice versa,” tells Susan. “There’s a mutual respect there.”

Josh, 26, who has joined the TVNZ 2 reality show as a Fan, couldn’t agree more.

He says, “We’re both very competitive. We’ll compete, but then we’ll go home and be best mates again. I’m sure Mum’s got my back.”

Ever since he was young, Josh has been the type to give anything a go, no matter the consequences. While it has resulted in many sleepless nights and visits to the hospital for Susan, she is happy how he has harnessed that energy as an adult.

“He’s diced with danger a lot,” tells Susan. “He fell through a roof and got a big scar down his leg when he was a kid, and he jumped out of a tree into a bucket of water like Evel Knievel. But now that we’re on the other side of that, I’m proud that he gives everything a go.”
