SUPERNANNY JO FROST ‘I'M HEADING DOWN UNDER!'

THE PARENTING GURU IS COMING TO SAVE OUR TROUBLED TOTS AND TEENS

- Paul Ewart

For close to two decades, Jo Frost – aka TV’s ‘Supernanny’ – has stepped in to change the direction of countless unruly kids across the world. It’s a feat that both changed lives and entertained hundreds of millions of viewers in the process.

Now, after a raft of television series in her native UK and the US, the real-life Mary Poppins has her sights set on tackling troubled tykes and teens Down Under.

“I’m in talks with a network about coming over to shoot a series in Australia,” Jo tells New Idea exclusively. “I was actually due to come to Australia [last year], but the Nine Network had a change of route, so that didn’t happen.

“Aussie families have seen me in various versions of my show – helping American and British families – but this will be the first time I film a series in Australia. I can’t wait to actually get there!”

Jo’s excitement about visiting our shores is primarily due to an existing relationship she has with our country.

“I’ve visited several times,” she says. “And Brits and the Aussies … well, we’re like cousins! There’s a familiarity, I get the lingo, and it’s just an easy and fun country to visit.”
