You may have seen her on the TV recently - as a new addition to the Celebrity Apprentice Australia line-up, or perhaps you’ve seen her on Channel 9 as their weather presenter!
From young model, to gaining international fame after winning Miss Universe Australia in 2011, Scherri-Lee Biggs has what seems to be the insta-perfect life.

In this episode, Scherri-Lee shares how things are rarely what they seem.

As you hear today’s episode and inevitably search Dr Clara's Instagram, you will find out that she’s yet another guest that I’d describe as a walking paradox.

To look at, Dr Clara Hurst is the perfect ‘it’ girl. She’s tall, blonde and beautiful. She’s European, has an accent to die for, legs to kill for, and a perfectly curated Instagram grid. All this and she’s got some seriously smart brains too.

She founded one of Perth’s top aesthetic clinics, BLANC, where she is renowned for her signature ‘untouched’ non-surgical injectable treatments.

Dr Clara also co-founded The Secret - a skincare line where each and every jar is hand made to suit the client’s specific requirements, using the highest quality active ingredients for clinically proven and visible results.

But beyond all that fabulousness, there is significant pain, hurt ... and even anger.

It’s the kind of story that will remind you of something seemingly so obvious: everyone has a heart, and all hearts can be broken.

Clara is walking around with an incredibly eye-opening, heart-wrenching but life-changing story.
Seriously folks, I’m letting you know now that you will need a tissue box for this episode.

So without further ado, here's the highly anticipated fourth episode of Secrets in the City.
