    Australian Survivor’s David Genat opens up about wife Pearl’s struggle with lupus… as he stars on the new season of The Celebrity Apprentice

    Australian Survivor star David Genat’s wife Pearl Christensen is currently battling lupus.

    The male model is now competing on the new season of The Celebrity Apprentice to raise money for The Garvan Institute of Medical Research.

    The 41-year-old discussed his fundraising efforts for the institute with 9Entertainment this week.

    ‘They’re doing a lot of autoimmune disease research, specifically lupus,’ he said.

    ‘My wife has been suffering from lupus for the last seven years, and she’s actually been quite sick, so it was something that is personally quite close to me,’ he added.

    While David’s on the show for a good cause, his methods in the competition have been questioned by some.

    Celebrity Apprentice advisor Janine Allis recently branded the Survivor villain the ‘sneakiest’ contestant on the series.

    ‘He was like, “Love you!” then [imitates backstabbing],’ she joked to Yahoo. 

    ‘He was probably the sneakiest, but he understood that that’s what we need to do. The others had their moments at different times too.’

    Janine also revealed that the series becomes a bloodbath in the boardroom, saying, ‘it gets fiery… it’s super intense.’

    Despite some people’s suspicions, Married At First Sight star Martha Kalifatidis wasn’t the sneakiest – or the laziest.

    ‘In episode one, she was off with the fairies, she had more time taking selfies than she did everything else. And she sort of had no semblance of time.

    ‘But no, there were other [challenges] that she worked her absolute butt off… really down, dirty and getting it done so seeing her develop was really interesting.’
