Bin Night with Tak and Matty

From an extraordinary childhood journey to an acting career full of unexpected turns, Sally-Anne Upton reflects on the life experiences that shaped both her craft and her resilience as a performer. A wide-ranging, funny and deeply human conversation about chance, craft and the moments that no one — not even a psychic — could ever have predicted.What we get into: Moving to Australia by boat from the UK at just seven years old, an experience that would quietly shape her independence and sense of adventureBeginning her working life as a nurse, and how caring for others ran in parallel with the early years of her acting careerHer time on Wentworth, where she fully embodied the raw, unforgettable character of Juicy LucyJoining Neighbours and how the pandemic unexpectedly transformed Vera Punt from a short-term role into a regular characterThe early beginnings of her stage career and the importance of live performance in shaping her confidence as an actorCollaborating with the iconic Lynne McGranger, and what she learned from working so closely with a true Australian television legendThe surreal and slightly unbelievable stories of discovering that Boris Johnson and Mel Gibson are genuine fans of her work (kind of). How she’s ‘genuinely psychic’ and incredibly, predicted a Neighbours reboot (not once, but twice).
