EMILY PRESCOTT: Borat has downer on Down Under as he heads back to UK

EMILY PRESCOTT: Borat creator Sacha Baron Cohen and wife Isla Fisher have a downer on Down Under as they head back to UK

Isla rose to fame in Aussie soap Home And Away and converted to Judaism before marrying Sacha in 2010. I’m sure Isla, who starred in The Great Gatsby in 2013, will be the one to miss Australia the most.

Of her love for life Down Under, she said: ‘I don’t feel any pressure there. I don’t have to say or do or be anything. I don’t even have to wear shoes.’
