CONTROVERSIAL PR queen Roxy Jacenko has paid for one of her look-a-like publicists to work as a nanny on her family holiday to Hawaii over Christmas and the new year.

Jacenko jetted out of the country with her two children Pixie and Hunter Curtis to escape their first Christmas without their jailed father Oliver, who is locked up for insider trading.

Yesterday, the Sydney socialite admitted she had flown one of her Sweaty Betty publicists, Gemma Oldfield, to Hawaii to mind her kids.

“I am travelling with my mum, my aunt and Gemma Oldfield who is one of my team from Sweaty Betty PR,” she said from Hawaii.

“Gem is here helping me with Pixie and Hunter in a nanny capacity.”

It is understood Jacenko is paying for Oldfield to stay with her family at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki where rooms start at $689 a night.

Jacenko famously appealed to the courts not to jail her husband by claiming he was the primary carer for Pixie and Hunter.

“Because of my work hours, I would describe Oli as the primary carer of Pixie and Hunter. He attends to large parts of their preschool commitments and after-school care,” Ms Jacenko said in her statement to the court.

“He is generally the one who is home to ensure that they have dinner, are bathed and put to bed, as I am often unable to be ­relied upon to be home at a regular time to do these things.”
