Herald Sun kirjoitti: Wild Sara on British Big Brother
AN Aussie Angelina Jolie look-a-like posing as a "sex-mad man-eater" on Britain's Big Brother is an average girl from the suburbs, according to her proud family.
Lilydale's Sara Folino, 27, entered the Big Brother house as an intruder with a salacious reputation for promiscuity, drug-taking, and family bust-ups.
But her father, John Folino, admitted the claims were part of a publicity campaign to make his daughter famous.
Mr Folino said his daughter worked for MTV in Europe and had an agent who was creating the bad-girl image and telling family and friends what to say.
British newspapers have reported Ms Folino was "hooked on drugs at 16" and had been "disowned" by her family.
"It was a mutual thing. She was 18 when she left home," Mr Folino said.
He said he was not concerned with the wild way in which his daughter was being portrayed on British TV.
"We're all pretty proud of her, actually, but we're not sure if we're meant to be," he said.
"You have to remember it's a TV show. Sara probably dabbled in a little bit of stuff, but she was just a typical teenager.
"If she needs to say and do things (to boost her profile) and if it helps her in the house, we're fine by that."
Mr Folino said Sara hoped to be a TV presenter.
