This week we chat to NIDA trained, Gabrielle Scawthorn who is an actress, writer and presenter who has amassed more than 20 professional acting credits during her career, which was kickstarted at the tender and impressionable age of 17 when she finished runner up on Channel V’s Fresh Meat competition in 2005.

During this broadcast journey as a teenager, Gabrielle experienced first hand the long-term psychological impact the reality TV show experience can have weeks, months and even years later.

It was also this personal experience that was the main catalyst for the launching of Back From Reality. We chat to Gabrielle and gain her thoughts on the reality of reality TV.
