She was the subject of the Australian Story program on 9 June 2008.[5]

In 2017, Warner appeared as a celebrity contestant on the Australian version of Hell's Kitchen.[6][7]

Controversy

On March 4, 2018, during tea in the 1st Test between Australia and South Africa in Durban, Warner’s husband was involved in a heated exchange with South African Wicket-Keeper Quinton de Kock regarding vulgar comments about her.[12] David Warner fired back at De Kock and was forcibly restrained by teammates Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith.[13][14][15]

In March 2018 Warner’s husband was suspected of involvement in a ball tampering scandal during the 3rd Test match between South Africa and Australia along with skipper Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft; several former and current international cricketers have accused the Australian cricket team of cheating.[16][17] Warner exchanged a war of words with former English cricket captain, Michael Vaughan over Twitter regarding comments posted by him about David Warner's complaint about personal abuse from the South African crowd during the second day of the test match after his dismissal, and Warner's attitude to the ball tampering controversy.[18][19][20][21]
