Mother-and-daughter socialites Sally and Jaime Ridge say they won't be reading reviews of their hotly anticipated new reality show.
In a new interview, the stars of The Ridges - a six-part fly-on-the-wall reality show that begins airing on TV3 tonight - said they were anticipating a backlash from
critics, but they were ready for it.
"For some reason people think we're desperate fame-seekers but 90 per cent of the time when we're in the public eye it's either for work or not of our doing. It's the media choosing to write about us," Sally told TV3's website.
"Jaime and I are normal everyday people like everyone else. What we do is a job."
Sally and Jaime, who make regular appearances on newspaper social pages and in gossip mags, said they had given up caring what critics said about them.
