McNamee acknowledges that remaining in shape with children may be challenging, especially now that we’re back in lockdown, after five years on Home And Away and a nomination for Best New Talent at the Logies.
“I’m not going to lie, it’s difficult having two small children,” the 38-year-old admits.
“Before iso, I used to leave the house and the kids to go to the gym.
“I’d go to the gym once a week, play netball once a week, and swim laps at the local pool once a week.
“When those choices were abruptly removed, I had to figure out how to workout at home with the kids in tow.

Nonetheless, this TV documentary understands the significance of a few well-deserved sweets to counteract the blood, sweat, and tears.
McNamee says, “I’m a self-confessed chocoholic.”
“Give me a Kit-Kat and I’ll be fine.”
