Real Housewives of Melbourne star Gamble Breaux gets her COVID vaccine

She’s set to return to our screens on The Real Housewives of Melbourne.

But before she does, Gamble Breaux has ensured she’s extra COVID-safe by getting her vaccine on Thursday.

Posting to her Instagram, the 48-year-old shared a video of herself in a surgical mask, as she got her jab. 

‘COVID-19 Vaccination! Hugs to science,’ the blonde beauty captioned her post. 

The reality TV star also encouraged her followers to book their own COVID vaccinations. 

Gamble’s post comes two months after she confirmed she would be returning to the popular Foxtel series. 

She will be joined by Janet Roach, and Jackie Gillies, who had previously quit after season four.

The new season will also see new arrivals in Simone Elliott, news anchor Anjali Rao, yoga teacher Cherry Dipietrantonio, and Champagne educator Kyla Kirkpatrick.

On April 14, the women attended a star-studded launch in Melbourne, which included Chrissie Swan and comedian Joel Creasey.

The entire cast were dressed to the nines for the event to ensure that they’d stand out in their best designer outfits.

Janet looked chic in a long-sleeved blue patterned frock that cut off above the knee, while Jackie was mean in emerald green satin. 

Gamble kept things fun and flirty in a blue and white maxi-dress with a ruffled, thigh high split, while newcomer Kyla stunned in a houndstooth frock with a plunging neckline.

Rounding out the women was Simone in a sparkly black dress, Cherry in a short gold number and Anjali in a silver ensemble. 

The group all posed together like the best of friends, making it unclear if there are any rivalries among the cast yet. 

According to the Herald Sun, Gina Liano departed the show to focus on her legal career.

The series was initially scheduled to film in March last year with Gina and Lydia, but it was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Gina, a barrister, expressed her reservations about returning to the controversial franchise in an interview last year.

‘It’s a big responsibility having a public profile, even though I swear and carry on and maybe act a bit irresponsible,’ she previously told News Corp.

‘I got back into my own life, it was peaceful and I quite enjoyed it and I was hesitant to come back only for that reason.

‘I think there might be a time when I don’t come back just because my life will keep moving.’

No premiere date has been confirmed for season five of The Real Housewives of Melbourne.
