Mimi MacPherson Spends Some Time With “The Kids”

Whale-watching amateur video star Mimi MacPherson has revealed to Sydney Confidential that she spent her Saturday night chaperoning a school disco, busting out impressive dancefloor choreography with a bunch of six year olds.

Macpherson is used to working with animals but ticked the children box on Saturday – going back to school with her It Takes Two partner, opera singer David Hobson.

The TV duo played chaperone at a disco at the Camberwell South Primary School, where Hobson’s two children attend.

“Oh yes, my big Saturday night out,” Macpherson laughed. “I definitely got some moves from the six-year-olds.”

We initially misread that as “I definitely made some moves on the six-year-olds” and we were pretty freaked out but time and medication soon revealed our idiocy.

As Phil Ceberano and Antonia Kidman would attest, no article about celebrity siblings is complete without a gratuitous mention of the more famous one in the family.

Macpherson also revealed her famous sister Elle was a big fan.

“I told her not to watch it – it’s embarrassing, but she’s very good with calls and texts saying ‘You beauty’ and ‘Go, girl’. Perhaps I should get her sons (Flynn and Cy) to steal her phone and vote for me.”

Elle sends texts saying stuff like “You beauty”? That’s more Australian than we’ve heard her sound in… well, ever.
