She’s also now styling her naturally grey locks in a bob, which had many fans drawing comparisons to Kath & Kim’s Trude and Prue!

Gina and fellow star and creator Jane Turner have kept low public profiles following the release of 2012 spin-off film Kath & Kimderella.

They prefer to appear on stage and in smaller television roles, and rarely attend A-list events.

Gina, who is married to Rick McKenna with whom she has a child Maggie, admits that having a quieter existence is a completely deliberate move.

“As I get older, I really don’t want to be a public person, which sounds ridiculous with what I do,” Gina said.

Last month it was confirmed the Kath & Kim cast – plus a few celebrity guests! – have filmed a TV special to mark the show’s 20th anniversary. It’s set to air later this year.

The latest issue of New Idea is out now.
