Brilliant Casting By The Folk From Kath & Kim!

Guess which beloved hymen-owning boganette will be appearing in this Sunday night’s episode of Kath & Kim? Why, it’s ex Big Brother contestant Katie Hastings!

Playing the dumb blonde on last year’s Big Brother has turned into a big acting break for Katie Hastings – cast to play her “happy” self in Kath & Kim. The bubbly bogan told Confidential her start on the smash-hit comedy series made her so “nervous I said to someone, ‘I need Maccas, quick’ “.

It’s comments like this which clearly inspired producers of the Channel 7 show to approach her with the cameo role earlier this year. “My acting couldn’t have been any worse, but they just said to play myself and I’d be fine. I didn’t know whether to be insulted or what, but they were so nice.”

Hastings plays Katie, a new apprentice in Kel Knight’s butcher shop in this Sunday’s episode. “Kel loves his chump chops but I’m supposed to be into fancy meats. Don’t ask me to name them because I can’t even pronounce half of ‘em,” she said yesterday.

This may tempt us back to Kath & Kim, you know.
