‘It’s been brutal’: Kate Langbroek details the most difficult parts of being in lockdown for ten weeks including cooking, cleaning and undertaking ‘the world’s oldest profession’
Kate Langbroek has survived ten weeks of lockdown with her family in Northern Italy.
And the Australian radio presenter says that the hardest part has been homeschooling her children – and something a little cheekier.
Appearing as guest quiz master on Have You Been Paying Attention on Monday night via video link, the 54-year-old was asked what she’d found hardest while confined to an apartment in Bologna since March.

‘Aside from the cooking, the cleaning, the homeschooling, the world’s oldest profession,’ she said, adding a wink.
The ‘world’s oldest profession’ usually refers to prostitution, however it’s likely Kate was referring to sexual relations with her husband of 17 years, Peter.
Kate also revealed that schooling her four children has been a challenge as she’s not great at the lessons.
