“I went to hospital and had pain in my diaphragm and I didn't know what it was, Liano tells the Daily Mail. They said that it might have been the start of an ulcer, or something like that.”
“It was probably the stress of taking on a second job. My sons were concerned that I was burning the candle at both ends and that I would get cancer. Having had cancer you panic, you have to be cautious,” said the mother-of-two.
While Gina acknowledged tensions boiled over in season one, she insisted it's important to keep things in perspective.
“We were not saving lives, and we were there to entertain and it took a lot of courage from all of us,” said Gina.
However Liano believes her coping mechanisms might not be up to scratch:
“For me to be in a stressful situation, my stamina is perhaps not as good as what it could be.”
As for her tumultuous relationship with Andrea Moss, Gina is ready to move on.
“I didn't savage her on the show, I mean I gave her a serve but that was me defending myself. She equally was operating at a level where she thought she was defending herself,” she explained.
But the Foxtel reality star is looking forward to a fresh chapter on season two and wants to shake off the victim of bullying label for once and all.
“Bullying suggests you're a victim of something and I never stood out to be a victim of anything.”
