The Reality Star Reveals How Her Dad Has Been Her Guiding Force

The Bubbles Biz The Sad Secret To Anne's Success

Real Housewives of Auckland star Anne Batley-Burton is sitting on the deck of a gorgeous mansion in Queenstown, impeccably coiffed and made-up, sipping on a glass of Champagne and soaking up the view.

“It’s not too bad, is it?” she chuckles. “Queenstown, what an absolutely stunning place.”

Anne has taken the latest series of her show Keeping Up with the Champagne Lady, which screens on Face TV, out of its Auckland studio to showcase some of the country’s most spectacular locations, along with her favourite restaurants, bars and shops.

“I’m so excited about getting out and about this series,” Anne says. “It’s not all about Auckland, even though some people might think it is! I want to take the show to places I’m genuinely interested in. Queenstown, let’s face it, there are huge numbers of visitors coming here not only from New Zealand, but all around the world. It’s a real go-to destination.

“I’m hoping to get to Hawke’s Bay, Martinborough, Mount Maunganui, all sorts of different areas. They all have so much to offer and have the things I love! Fabulous food, wine and wonderful places to shop.”

The reality television star’s characteristic enthusiasm belies a deep sadness. She is chatting to the Weekly during the filming of the first two episodes of her show, just days after the death of her beloved dad Herbert (Bert) Batley, aged 97.
