Former Goggleboxfavourite Yvie Jones has found the key to success.
Jones, who is hosting Fox FM Summer Breakfast with Grant Denyer, says the trick is caring less what others think.
“The older you get the less f--ks you give,” she said.
“You care so much less about what others think. All that is gone. Now it is a case of just do it, just try it, don’t overthink it, and say yes to everything.”
There is, however, one thing she won’t say “yes” to and that is taking part in a reality TV dating show.
While her best mate Angie Kent found love by being the Bachelorette, Jones said TV romance was not for her.
“My biggest fear would be standing on that red carpet and the limousine doors opening and just crickets come flying out … where are the men? Oh, there are not any?” she said.
“I love The Bachelor franchise, but as a viewer only.
“I actually think it is abhorrent, that concept. To line people up and say, ‘You win, you lose’, that to me is pure entertainment.
“The fact that people actually fall in love through it blows my mind. I just thought it was all scripted.
“I think the majority (of contenders) are going on for their 15 minutes (of fame) but you can really see the real people who are there (for the right reasons) and they are the ones who get far and it is wonderful.
“But I still would not do it.”
Jones and Denyer have clicked during their Summer Breakfast stint and radio would seem the perfect future direction for the ex-Goggleboxer, who filled in for Fifi Box on Fox FM during her maternity leave.
Jones is also exploring acting, having recently filmed two episodes of Channel 10’s Drunk History.
