She may have had 'divine protection' as she took to the ski slopes of Thredbo, but that didn't stop Jackie Gillies from spending more time on her bottom than on her feet.


The 33-year-old psychic and wife of Silverchair drummer Ben Gillies went skiing for the first time in the latest episode of Real Housewives Of Melbourne and didn't exactly 'shine' at it.


'I'm not falling on my a**' Jackie declared to fellow Housewives Lydia Schiavello, 43, and Andrea Moss, 45, before getting off the ski lift and doing exactly that.

'Getting off the ski lift, it was like someone had booted me up the a**,' she said.


It was her skiing debut, with Lydia inviting her and Andrea to spend a few days at her Thredbo property where they had ski lessons from a spunky instructor and dined at exclusive local restaurants.


It was a welcomed break for Andrea and her first away from her husband and kids, while Jackie was more interested in wearing Lydia's designer ski outfits.


'Jackie looked hot because she was wearing designer duds, but in terms of skiing she looked like a clown,' said Andrea, who had only skied three times previously.

'I look so amazing, my God, as if I wouldn't,' said Jackie, as she posed in front of the mirror in Lydia's orange ski jacket.


'I should honestly become a model for ski wear. Orange represents power and peace, that's what I am.'


Earlier in the episode, her rock star husband Ben told her: 'You're going to fall over, that's a given. So get ready for that.'


She wasn't, but she did shout the girls a round of schnapps for being the first one among them to fall over.


Lydia, on the other hand, was in her element.

'The way I feel on the ski fields is freedom ... You can go where you want to go, nobody knows you,' she said, adding that she had skied on slopes all around the world.


She and her husband fly to Thredbo every weekend during winter, to make the most of what she calls the 'snow playground to my children and the rich and famous'.


It was also a busy episode for housewife Janet Roach, 55, who wasted no time getting back on the dating scene.


The mum-of-two enjoyed a romantic dinner date with a younger man and after a few drinks they even shared a lingering kiss.

Janet, who recently separated from her second husband after catching him cheating online, spoke out about her most recent ex last month, saying: 'Unfortunately I have got the problem the other way. I am going to have to pay spousal maintenance, it's frightening. I am hoping not to pay very much and if you are listening ex-husband, I'm broke.'


She added: 'I backed myself into the corner and said "if you do it again I am going to leave", and who would have thought, he did it again,' she explained.


'He did it four times.. so I just left in five minutes.'


However, the proactive blonde property developer decided life’s too short to wait for a man to come along and has been on a self-confessed intensive ‘man program’ ever since.


It looked clear from the date that the nip and tuck fan – who believes that if you are unhappy with anything you should use plastic surgery to fix it – would be seeing this man again.
