One Kookai playsuit she claims she purchased for $180 but she only wants $88 for the “worn once” item.

For another “never worn perfect condition” Shakuhachi printed playsuit, she is selling for just $22.

It’s a far cry from the lifestyle she brags about to her 315,000 Instagram followers online.

Just last month, she was sipping a drink poolside at Queensland’s Jo-Jo’s Restaurant and Bar in a floral low-cut throwover dress.

“A lot happened behind the scenes,” Davina wrote in a message to the hosts.

“It’s so hard for me to even watch the show as I know the context of the conversations and some of the sentences are from days before so it’s almost impossible for me to make sense.

“I know it’s everyone’s job whether it is selling magazines or getting listeners on the radio but until it directly affects you it’s really hard to get your head around.”

More than 2.6 million viewers tuned into the show on Sunday night — the highest ratings in the show’s five seasons.
