Tziporah Malkah’s surprising new job revealed
It’s been a difficult few years for the former Kate Fischer – but now she’s back on her feet with a job a world away from her 90s modelling days.
It’s been a rocky few years for Tziporah Malkah, with the former 90s glamour girl – then known as Kate Fischer – weathering dramatic breakups, social media breakdowns and brushes with the law.
But Malkah appears to have turned her life around, with a new job in an industry far removed from her former life as a model and actress.
Malkah was spotted last week working as a traffic controller on a Sydney construction site, clad in a hard hat and hi vis jacket.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Malkah – who was engaged to billionaire James Packer for two years in the late 90s – said she was enjoying the down-to-earth new role.
“I am helping to build Australia. I am back on my feet. I am growing up and I love it,” she told the Telegraph.
She also described her very public troubles in recent times – including encounters with police many worrying outbursts on social media – as a “tantrum that was in the making for the past 20 years.”
Since re-emerging after years out of the public eye back in 2016, Malkah has been a regular fixture in tabloid mags and on TV shows such as I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! and A Current Affair, where she unveiled the results of a weight loss regime last year.
When she appeared on I’m A Celeb in 2017, her first high-profile TV appearance in more than a decade, she had weighed more than 120kg and said she was in “bad shape, mentally and physically”.
Since then, she’s lost more than 50kg.
“I’m down 10 dress sizes — from 24 to 14. This is the lightest I’ve been since I was 35 — more than a decade,” she told New Idea last year, revealing she had transformed her body with the help of a hypnotist and a personal trainer.
Tziporah also revealed last year that she’s planning on becoming a mother — even if she has to do it by herself.
“If I haven’t met someone I want to have kids with by the time I am 50, I’m just going to do it myself,” she told 9Honey.
“My mother (politician Pru Goward) tried to encourage me to freeze my eggs when I was in my thirties but it’s a very invasive process. It’s not as easy as people think it is.
“So I’m still waiting for the right baby daddy but it’s taking a long time, so I might do it myself.”
