The Australia’s got talent host spills on her experiences in Hollywood
Australia fell in love with Ricki-Lee Coulter as soon as she walked into the Australian Idol audition rooms in 2004 at just 19 years old.
Thanks to her incredible voice, sassy personality and radiant good looks, there was no denying her star potential.
While the now 33-year-old has made it big in Australia, she’s asked time and time again why she has decided to remain at home instead of making a permanent move to the bright lights of Hollywood.
Speaking exclusively to New Idea, the beloved artist reveals her surprising reason for staying in Australia.
“I have lived in the US and I hated it,” she says.
“I moved back because I just wanted to be at home. There are people who love it. And it’s also about timing and luck. You can be the greatest singer in the world but sometimes it’s just not your time.
