Natalie is engaged to Cameron McGlinchey, former drummer of the Rogue Traders.

Natalie’s first ever job was working in a fish & chips shop. Her other jobs went from scrubbing dishes in a restaurant, to sewing men’s suits in a formal men’s wear shop.

It is commonly mistaken (thanks to various websites mixing up biographies) that before Natalie’s rise to fame she was a meter maid, worked in a café, ran a llama farm, and maintained a recording studio. This was in fact her character Izzy Hoyland on Neighbours.

While Natalie tends to keeps her private life out of the public eye, she has mentioned being married for a short time at the age of 23, until she was divorced around 1998.  She has also previously been linked to assistant Neighbours director Ryan Eckersley, and Big Brother contestant Gordon Sloan.

While promoting Don’t Give Up, which supports the depression awareness charity Beyond Blue, Natalie revealed that she herself suffered from stages of depression when she was younger.

Natalie always listened to The Killers, who are one of her favorite bands, before performing live on stage with Rogue Traders. She also loved to listen to the Olivia Newton-John song ‘Xanadu’, to the dismay of the rest of the band & crew.

Before joining Rogue Traders, Natalie had recorded her own solo demos with an acoustic-rock sound.

Natalie’s debut solo album ’1000 Stars’ entered the ARIA charts at number one, and she is currently the only Australian artist to have had two simultaneous singles in the iTunes top ten.

Natalie is the first and only Australian ambassador for Garnier hair products.

The little boy in the ‘Someday Soon’ video is Natalie’s nephew.
