Anita is a classical music performer with the Melbourne orchestra, which has been a lifelong dream of hers. She calls the day she first preformed as the second greatest day of her life, after the birth of her son Jai in 2016.

"I was never the kind of person to pursue romantic endeavours, or engage in that kind of activity often, so my pregnancy came as a major shock to me as well as my family and friends. My career in music was at it's lowest point and my bank account was deep in the red, so a pregnancy was the last thing I needed, but Jai turned my life around, I started looking after myself again, because I had to be strong for him. Honestly becoming a mother has made me a better person, I work harder, I think before I make choices and I have become closer to my family thanks to my son."

Anita is the younger sister of Melbourne Demon's star, Matthew Haine, who she calls her best friend. The brother/sister duo are one another's biggest fans and support one another in their careers, despite the lack of support their parents gave them.

"My Mum and Dad are what you would consider traditionally conservative, they worried about my brother and I a lot and pushed us toward safe jobs. They were mortified when my brother left University to play football and when I turned down a teaching role to continue playing, they were less than impressed. But my brother has supported me every step of the way, he's the best person I know."

Anita claims her biggest challenges in the jungle will be homesickness and a lack of Survival skills.

"I've never been camping in my life, I really hate the outdoors actually. But I am adaptable, I'm sure with a little patience and practice I'll fit the Survivor life after a while. I will miss my son like crazy while I'm gone, but I know he's in good hands with his uncle and that's my motivator, I want to give him the kind of upbringing where he is free to pursue his dreams and not have to worry about money."
