Celebrity Apprentice star Lisa Origliasso complains about having to drive ‘three hours’ to tour rehearsals in the $58,000 Ford Ranger XLT she got for free in a sponsorship deal
In addition to competing for charity, Celebrity Apprentice star Lisa Origliasso and her twin sister Jessica reportedly pocketed a combined $60,000 to star in the show.
But that doesn’t mean life is but a dream for The Veronicas duo, who are currently commuting to band rehearsals as they prepare to embark on an Australian tour.
On Wednesday, Lisa complained about having to drive ‘a couple hours to the city and back’ every day – but admitted the free car she got in a sponsorship deal had softened the blow.

The working musicians choose to live in the Blue Mountains, forcing them to drive for ‘two to three’ hours for rehearsals in the city.
Making the commute easier is the apparently free car they got from Moreton Bay Ford in exchange for the promotion.
‘But I’ll be loving every second of it in our dreamy Ford Ranger XLT,’ Lisa wrote, tagging both the dealership and Ford Australia’s official Instagram accounts.

When a fan questioned whether Lisa had her driver’s licence, the singer confirmed: ‘I’ve had it for years, but haven’t wanted to drive till now woohoo!’
A free car can have that effect.
The Veronicas are currently starring on Celebrity Apprentice, which sees semi-famous Australians working as interns for billionaire businessman Lord Alan Sugar.
The winner will earn $100,000 for their chosen charity. The Veronicas have chosen The Brain Foundation.

According to a New Idea report last week, the show was almost derailed when filming began after a salary dispute erupted between the cast.
The publication claims ‘tension grew on set’ when it was rumoured that clothing designer Camilla Franks was ‘paid the least’ to appear on the show, while others were offered a more generous fee.
They added that none of the celebrities made ‘as much coin as you’d think’ because the show is largely charity focused.

‘Forget the million-dollar salary Warnie banked for I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!. This show doesn’t go anywhere near those sorts of dollars,’ an insider said.
‘If anything, pay should never be discussed among any cast and is always a dangerous game to play.’
Michelle Bridges and radio star Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli were reportedly handed the biggest amount to join the star-studded line-up, raking in a cool $50,000 each.
