JANET ROACH - ‘I'M NOT HOLDING BACK'

THE NEW HOUSEWIVES WILL NEED TO WORK HARD TO IMPRESS THIS QUEEN

In her usual self-deprecating way, Janet Roach tells New Idea she had no qualms about returning to The Real Housewives of Melbourne without her popular co-stars, Gina Liano and Lydia Schiavello.

“Look, I’m the oldest housewife, so I thought I better get another season in before I die!” laughs the 63-year-old.

While fans will feel the absence of the series stalwarts in Season 5, Janet assures there’s still plenty of drama – mainly due to four new bombshell housewives.
