Charlotte Dawson
Charlotte Dawson’s never been one to shy away from the truth; she’s talked openly about her battles with men, depression, cosmetic surgery and her failed marriage to former Olympic swimmer Scott Miller. Many would say it is Charlotte’s frankness that makes the former model so endearing. The judge on Australia’s Next Top Model has copped continuous criticism for going under the knife in her quest for perfection, but she says she’s given up the botox for good and is in a happy place mentoring on Australia’s Next Top Model. Charlotte joins us in the studio to share her story.
Watch Charlotte on Australia’s Next Top Model Monday, 7.30pm on Fox8.
