Celebrity trainee Lisa Origliasso complains that she has to drive three hours to tour rehearsals in the $ 58,000 Ford Ranger XLT she received for free as part of a sponsorship deal
Celebrity Apprentice star Lisa Origliasso and her twin sister Jessica not only fought for charity, they pocketed $ 60,000 together to star on the show.
But that doesn’t mean that life is just a dream for the duo The Veronicas, who are currently commuting to band rehearsals to prepare for an Australian tour.
On Wednesday, Lisa complained that she had to drive a few hours into town and back every day – but admitted that the free car she got as part of a sponsorship deal softened the blow.

The working musicians choose to live in the Blue Mountains, forcing them to drive two to three hours in town for rehearsals.
The seemingly free car they got from Moreton Bay Ford in exchange for transportation makes commuting easier.
“But I’ll love every second of it in our dreamy Ford Ranger XLT,” wrote Lisa, tagging both the dealership and Ford Australia’s official Instagram accounts.

When a fan asked if Lisa had her driver’s license, the singer confirmed: “I’ve had it for years, but haven’t wanted to drive until now, woohoo!”
A free car can have this effect.

According to New Idea, the show was almost derailed last week when filming began after a pay dispute broke out between the cast.
The publication claims “the tension on set grew” when it was rumored that fashion designer Camilla Franks was “paid the least amount” to appear on the show while others were offered a more generous fee.
They added that none of the celebrities “made as much money as you think” because the show is largely charitable.

Wage dispute: On Monday, New Idea claimed tensions had grown on the set when designer Camilla Franks (pictured) reportedly found out she was being “the least paid”.
“Forget the million dollar salary Warnie put in because I’m a celebrity … Get me out of here!” This show isn’t going anywhere near that kind of dollar, ”said an insider.
“If anything, pay should never be discussed among the cast and is always a dangerous game.”
Michelle Bridges and radio star Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli reportedly received the largest amount of money to join the star-studded cast, earning a cool $ 50,000 each.
