Sally Obermeder 'I'M RAWAND I'M REAL'

THE TV HOSTTURNED-WELLNESS ENTREPRENEUR IS DETERMINED TO SHOW SHE'S NOT YOUR TYPICAL HOUSEWIFE

- Sara Tapia

Perched on a ladder, green dress billowing around her, Sally Obermeder throws the camera a few knowing glances before erupting into that huge, megawatt smile that Australians have come to know and love during her 15-year TV career.

The 50-year-old has an ease and natural effortlessness as she changes into a black power suit and killer heels before posing for more snaps. But when she swaps back into her sweats and sneakers to sit down with WHO for a chat after our exclusive shoot, you get the sense that this is, in fact, the real her – something we are no doubt bound to see when Obermeder hits our screens again in the highly anticipated return of The Real Housewives of Sydney. “There’s nothing about me that is perfect and shiny,” she admits to WHO. “I’m raw and I’m real and I’m warm, and you’ll get to see all of that on the show.”

From interviewing the likes of Beyoncé, Angelina Jolie and Hugh Jackman on Today Tonight, to co-hosting The Daily Edition for seven years, Obermeder is no stranger to being on the screen. However, joining the cast of RHOS – alongside returning housewives Krissy Marsh and Nicole O’Neil and four other fresh faces; Terry Biviano, Dr Kate Adams, Caroline Gaultier and Victoria Montana – has been a whole different kettle of drama-fuelled fish.
