Career
Legge-Bourke's main career is in public relations, and has taken her as far afield as Kazakhstan.
In a different direction, she was a contestant on Nice People in 2003, a French television version of the show Big Brother. In May 2003, she hit the headlines with stories of on-screen goings-on with another contestant, Prosper Masquelier, leading her cousin Tiggy Legge-Bourke to comment “She is a very, very good girl and I am devoted to her. I am backing her all the way.”
