Tziporah Malkah moves into a run-down cottage in Yass

She’s the ex-fiancée of billionaire James Packer, who was once gifted with a multi-million dollar abode in Sydney’s Bondi.

And Tziporah Malkah, previously known as Kate Fischer, has now moved into a run-down pink cottage in Yass, in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales.

The 44-year-old had been living between a rental property in Melbourne and a beachfront pad in South Australia with boyfriend Guy Vasey, since May last year.

Early January saw Tziporah announce to Instagram that she’s moving into an ‘old cottage’ in Yass that’s in need of considerable renovation.

‘The old cottage @ Yass. Needs a bit of work before I move in, Scottie Cam to the rescue?’ the brunette wrote in the caption, referencing to The Block’s host and handyman. 

Tziporah shared a photo of the humble pink-hued property, situated on 162 hectares in her hometown in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales.

A previous image on Instagram also saw the former I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! contestant joke that she couldn’t seem to work a dusty old washing machine in the cottage.

Meanwhile, the properties are all a far cry from the multi-million dollar beachfront home in Sydney’s Bondi, ex-fiancé James Packer once gifted her.

Tziporah made headlines in 1996 when she became engaged to the billionaire media mogul, however that union was not to last, with the pair calling off the engagement in 1998 after five years together.   

It was reported at the time by The Daily Telegraph that James gave her a $2.7 million Bondi apartment, however she later sold the apartment.

Speaking to Woman’s Day in 2016, Tziporah admitted that she sometimes regrets her decision to leave Australia after her relationship with James ended.

‘Sometimes I think I should have stayed in Australia and battled it out a bit,’ she admitted. ‘But I was devastated and I felt like he had all the cards.’ 

The former ’90s model and budding actress moved from Australia to Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, where she converted to Judaism, changing her name to Tziporah Malkah Bat Israel. 

But her once-large bank balance dwindled when she had been ripped off in a $2 million real estate scam some years ago. 

Tziporah revealed to The Project last year that she found herself homeless upon returning to Australia in 2010.

‘I didn’t know anything about homelessness so I thought I had to sleep under a bush so I Googled “Homelessness Melbourne,’ she said.   

After keeping out of the limelight, Tziporah made a triumphant return as a contestant on last year’s reality show I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!
