Catherine Freeman gives Kenny sprinting instructions for new TV show.
Mar 26, 01:30 PM

Catherine Freeman and Aussie plumbing hero “Kenny” recently shot an episode of his new TV show ‘Taking Care of Business’ soon to be seen on Channel 10 (July 2008).

Catherine met Kenny’s alter ego Shane Jacobsen and his brother Clayton by chance at Singapore airport en route to Australia. After realising that they had a mutual admiration for each other, Shane and Clayton offered to include Catherine in an episode and to show their support of the Catherine Freeman Foundation by way of a donation of funds, memorabilia and any other assistance required.

At the commencement of the day, Kenny gave Catherine some vital tips on toilet maintenance and actually proved his versatility by fixing Catherine’s toilet, which
co-incidentally broke down during filming. This was reality TV at its best!

The filming day proved to be hilarious and promises to give viewers an inside look as to what NOT to do when practising block starts. A highlight of the day was the moment when Kenny reveals his version of a streamline running suit. For all those fans of the AFI award winning cult movie Kenny, this series is a ‘not to be missed’ experience.
