The Real Housewives of Melbourne is set to return this year with its long-awaited fifth season.

The 55-year-old told The Daily Telegraph on Wednesday that she will return to TV after she resolves a personal matter.

‘I am humbled by the disappointment of my fans that I am not returning to RHOM this season,’ she said.
‘However, I can promise them that I will be returning to TV when I have taken care of some very important issues that I can’t discuss right now for legal reasons.’
Pint-sized Pettifleur is one of the most controversial housewives to appear on the series over the years.

In the hit show, she accused fellow housewife Gamble Breaux of meeting her husband on a sugar daddy website.
She’s also feuded with Lydia Schiavello and memorably clashed with psychic Jackie Gillies who wouldn’t use her powers to find Pettifleur’s son’s misplaced birth certificate.
