Roxy and Oliver put on a united front at Derby Day, with Roxy saying having her husband beside her was ‘very nice’.
‘Obviously my last year was very different… for him to be with myself, it’s great fun,’ the mother-of-two said, referring to her turbulent year.

Since going into remission, Roxy said the health scare became a real ‘eye-opener’ for her in terms of the way she lives her life: ‘Life is short and make the most of it!’

In June 2016, NSW Supreme Court Justice Lucy McCallum handed down her sentence to Oliver as a maxium two year imprisonment.
The judge told the court that Oliver knew what he was doing was ‘very wrong’ – but he had used his insider trading with his former best friend to fund a ‘lifestyle of conspicuous extravagance’.
Justice McCallum acknowledged Curtis had become a father and his lifestyle had changed since he committed the crimes, aged 21 and 22.
