Lisa Curry is yet to divorce ex Grant Kenny

Along with grabbing something borrowed and something blue, Lisa Curry has one major task to knock off on her wedding to-do list.

Although she parted ways with the father of her three kids in 2009, nearly a decade on it seems they’re still legally bound.

It’s a situation that may be considered slightly complicated, particularly as Lisa is engaged to Elvis impersonator Mark Tabone.

The 15-time gold medallist made the shock confession while chatting candidly to singer Natalie Bassingthwaighte in a low moment.

In a bid to excite her co-star about life back home, Natalie quips, “You’re getting married to that hot stuff!”

“I’ve got to find a dress, I’ve got to get a date, I’ve got to get a f—ing divorce,” Lisa let slip before breaking down in tears.

The pressure of life in the South African jungle appears to be weighing heavily on the three-time Olympian, with her later confessing her desire to walk out.

“I’m ready to pack my bags,” she confessed. “I was ready this morning. I was ready last week. I was ready in week two. I’m just not enjoying it.”

Lisa continued: “I’ve just had enough. The days are so frigging long. I have nothing to say to anyone, they’re just not the same circle.”

The 54-year-old went on to admit her embarrassment at the calibre of celebrity who have joined her on the reality show, saying their quick rise to fame through dating and cooking shows have embarrassed her.

“Celebrity is not like it used to be,” she mused. “Celebrity 10 or 20 years ago, it meant you had done something with substance and you were celebrated for what you did.

“These days all you’ve got to do is go on a reality-TV show and you are a celebrity, and that sucks, it embarrasses me.”

Lisa and her ex husband are parents to their now grown-up kids – daughters Jaimi, 28, and Morgan, 26, and son Jett, 21 – while Grant is also dad to FiFi Box’s little girl, Trixie.

Mark, who was previously married for 25 years, and Lisa confirmed their engagement late last year.
