Singer, actor, TV presenter and happily married mum of two with Geelong basketball royalty Braith Cox, Angie Hilton chats to EMILY IANNELLO about her fabulous lifestyle.
What are you up to at the moment?
Well I turned 40 last year, so it feels like a new era for me. It’s my time to keep growing and getting out of my comfort zone and exploring new possibilities.
I’ve decided with this new start I’m going to get fit, I’m going to learn how to cook – actually, my neighbour Helen Hardwick is teaching me. I’ve mastered my chicken pie so far.
I also might start getting out in the garden and getting back into writing.
I’m still doing What’s Up Downunder, and I’m travelling around doing backing vocal for Merril Bainbridge. There’s also another potential opportunity in the pipeline – something challenging that will definitely get me out of my comfort zone, but I can’t say exactly what yet.
And how’s your lovely family?
Scarlett’s now seven and Sonny’s five. Sonny was so excited to start school this year – in his first week he got student of the week.
I have both kids at school now, so the world’s opening up with a bit of freedom.
We’re also renovating our house in Newtown, so that’s been challenging and fun. We’ve never done it before, so it’s been a good project for (husband) Braith and I.
We’ve been choosing everything together. We were inspired by the block. It’s been character building, I’d say.
We’ve done stage one, so the front part of the house is looking like a house again. The back is going to be completely knocked off and we’re about to tackle that soon.
Pick up the conversation, in the Geelong Coast Magazine – in newsagents now.
