Too hot for TV: Today show weather presenter Scherri-Lee Biggs strips down to a swimsuit and lathers herself in MUD for a wild segment (and the hosts don’t know where to look!)


As a former Miss Universe Australia, Scherri-Lee Biggs is no stranger to strutting her stuff in a swimsuit.

But the Today show weather presenter took things to a new level on Thursday by stripping down to her swimmers and lathering herself in mud.

The 31-year-old got down and dirty for a segment about a wellness retreat called Club Mud in Currumbin Valley in Queensland.

After the owner of the retreat told Sherri-Lee she’d look ten years younger after she washed the mud off, she replied: ‘I’m gonna be 21 soon!’

Today co-hosts David Campbell and Sylvia Jeffreys were back in the Sydney studio awkwardly watching the beauty treatment.

‘Mud has never looked so good, Scherri!’ Sylvia said, adding: ‘You wear it well.’

Scherri-Lee, who is filling in for weatherman Tim Davies over the holidays, was one of the breakout stars of Celebrity Apprentice’s most recent season.

But the model and TV presenter was secretly struggling with a health condition while filming the show.

She revealed in a column for 9Honey she has psoriasis and dermatitis and is also allergic to makeup.

‘There were mornings I’d wake up and my skin was so inflamed it looked like I had been punched in the eye, knowing that when I get into work, a thick layer of makeup would have to be applied to my red raw skin,’ she said.

‘Stress doesn’t help either. Enter: reality TV show involving a boardroom and billionaire boss. At one point filming Celebrity Apprentice, the skin under my eye had completely split open,’ she added. 

To combat her allergy, she recommends wearing silicone-based makeup instead. 

Scherri-Lee shot to fame when she won Miss Universe Australia in 2011 – the year after Jesinta Franklin took the crown.

She went on to represent her country in the Miss Universe 2011 pageant, placing in the top 10.
