Courtney showed off her vivacious personality by posing up a storm on the ice cream truck.  

Later on, she was all smiles as she posed with one of the lifeguards who was on duty, placing her arm over his shoulder. 

It comes after Courtney shut down rumours she was hosting RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under, which began filming on January 29.

Courtney was said to be a shoo-in to host the new season, which is a Stan Original.

But she dispelled the rumours on The Project last month, saying it would be logistically impossible for her to host the program.

Courtney revealed she had just completed a two-week quarantine in Sydney rather than New Zealand, where the show is being filmed.

‘Everyone’s saying it, but I promise you I have nothing to do with Drag Race, and I’ll tell you why,’ she said.

‘I was reading that RuPaul and 16 people have landed in Auckland to film Drag Race, so I can assure you that if I were involved, that I would not fly to Sydney to quarantine for two weeks, only to fly to Auckland to quarantine for two weeks.’

Daily Mail Australia understands that RuPaul Charles himself will be hosting the show, and has already completed hotel quarantine in New Zealand.

Not me! Courtney appeared to dispel the rumours on The Project last month - saying it would be logistically impossible for her to host. She revealed that she had just completed a two-week quarantine in Sydney rather than New Zealand, where the show will be filmed.
