‘When the South Australian border looked like closing, I had to really think about what I was going to do. I couldn’t face being separated from Chrystal and Elle for weeks.’ 

Callum said the show was understanding, allowing his wife and daughter to stay with him in his hotel room as filming continued.  

‘We were given special permission to be together so I could stay in the show. That was a big part in me being able to carry on,’ he explained.
