She became a household name after wowing Australia with her trademark ‘bum dance’ on Big Brother in 2001.

And Sara-Marie Fedele has now revealed why she disappeared from the public eye after becoming one the biggest stars ever to emerge from the reality TV hit.

The 44-year-old mother of one admitted to being too shy and ‘lazy’ to have a social media account.

Sara-Marie made the comments during an interview on Hit FM’s WA Allan & Carly breakfast show on Wednesday. 

The fan favourite was asked by co-host Carly Portch about why she never used social media.

‘I’ve never had anything, ever,’ Sara-Marie began.

‘I have never had Facebook, I have never had Instagram … I am just really lazy. If I’m out with someone, I’d rather be with that person.’

During the chat, Sara-Marie said her public image as an extrovert was mistaken.

‘I feel like I am very confident in front of small groups of people, and on Big Brother you had no idea how well known it was going to be.

‘There’s two sides to me: I know I look like a show off, I’m not. There is a shy side to me, of not wanting to do social media. I don’t judge anyone who has it, I’m just too lazy for it.’

At one one point during the interview,  radio hosts said they would set up an Instagram account for the one-time reality star, but Sara-Marie refused. 

It comes after the former reality star made a rare TV appearance on Channel Seven ‘s Sunrise with her former co-star Blair McDonough on Monday.

She finished third on the series, but had incredible success after her eviction by starting her own sleepwear line, writing a book and even releasing a pop single called I’m So Excited (The Bum Dance).

Sara-Marie returned to Big Brother in 2002 for the show’s celebrity edition, and then enjoyed a stint as a presenter on the children’s show Totally Wild.

In 2005, Sara-Marie appeared as a contestant on Dancing With The Stars and in 2008 returned as a panelist on Big Brother's spin-off show, Big Mouth.
