A glass of bubbles with... ANNE BATLEY BURTON

REALITY TV’S ‘CHAMPAGNE LADY’ TELLS US HER PET HATES AND WHAT POPS HER CORK!

- Karyn Henger

The Real Housewives of Auckland star, Anne Batley Burton, is known for her hilarious one-liners, unmistakable laugh and endearing compassion for stray cats. The self-confessed party girl, who imports French Champagne and runs the New Zealand Cat Foundation, recently returned to our screens in a one-hour special spin-off, Get Housewived. She chats to the Weekly about life as a reality TV star, growing up in a male-dominated world and the art of making friends.

Congratulations on the success of Get Housewived!

Thank you! There was high excitement among the Housewives after a four-year gap. What I liked about doing this show is that it was more philanthropic than the other one – more of a feel-good show where we got to combine our various skills to help people in the community.

Do you think you’re portrayed accurately?
