Jaw-dropping cliffs and fashion launches aren’t quite how PR agent Billy Daniels would describe growing up in Perth’s northern suburbs, but the cast member of Seven’s new reality show Made in Bondi is proud to showcase his A-list Sydneysider life. The first episode — airing on Tuesday night — will unveil the enviable lifestyles of the East Coast’s young elite, spotlighting the iconic Australian borough’s exclusive party scene and rugged beauty. Recalling his youth growing up in Hillarys as a beach nipper and St Mark’s student, Daniels admitted his newfound “cosmopolitan life” is worlds away from his West Coast childhood.
A move to London early in his career exposed the 32-year-old to a change of pace — and one he’s adopted since. “I love being in the city. I love eating at the best restaurants.
That’s the space that I work in now, and the people that I work with,” he said. “Sydney is just the perfect city for that.” Despite fitting seamlessly into Bondi’s picturesque backdrop, Daniels revealed he’s the only personality who didn’t technically apply to be on the show.
The PR pro has his stylist-to-the-stars mate Paul Versace to thank, with the two forming a close bond through Sydney’s Fashion Week and other glamourous shared interests. “He was part of the cast, and he and I just had some organic work together that ended up overlapping with the show, and then the producers spoke to me, and I ended up being involved,” he admitted. “.
