Hannah Gough was planning on staying home and watching herself on Survivor NZ with family and friends.
Now Whangarei locals will have the chance to watch the reality TV show with the Whangarei contestant at a public event hosted by The Old Stone Butter Factory tomorrow.
"I'm nervous and excited. I know what I do but it's the first time I'm viewing it [and it] is with the public so I'm nervous," she said.
The 27-year-old is one of 16 contestants - out of 7500 applicants- in the debut series of Survivor New Zealand, based in the jungle of Nicaragua, which airs tomorrow.
Since Ms Gough was announced as a contestant on the show her face has popped up on television, online and in the newspaper.
