Big Brother’s oldest housemate antiques dealer Sarah Jane Adams, 65, reveals she doesn’t watch TV, has never seen Married At First Sight and thinks social media is ‘appalling’
Sarah Jane Adams is not the typical Big Brother Australia contestant.
The 65-year-old antiques dealer revealed on Tuesday that she only recently bought a small TV after going without one for 25 years – but she doesn’t watch it, regardless.
The fashionista also shared her opinion on social media – and she is not a fan, despite having over 200,000 followers.

‘Social media is appalling because it is not real,’ she told The Daily Telegraph.
‘Social media if it is used correctly is a fantastic thing but unfortunately we are so far down this path, it is a terrible thing.’

‘I didn’t even know what MAFS is. I am completely bemused that all of this is happening because I am just a regular little weirdo, ‘ she said.
Not only is she a reluctant social media star, Sarah Jane has also authoured the book, ‘Life In A Box: Traveller. Antiques Dealer. Mother. Model. Iconoclast’, which was released last year.
The book deals with the various ways people are forced to ‘live in boxes’ – and Sarah Jane explains how she defied those expectations by living a colourful life.
