Bianca Dye

[1][3] Issi Dye has enjoyed considerable success in the Australian entertainment industry as a singer and television personality.

[6][7][8] During World War II, Dye's paternal grandmother, Edith Wrobel, was interned at the Auschwitz concentration camp.

[1] After travelling overseas, Dye enrolled at RMIT University but later deferred when an opportunity came up to be a ringmaster for the Moscow Circus for eight months, getting the job after a successful audition at Carrara on the Gold Coast.

[3][11] Originally a morning announcer at Nova, Dye moved to the station's afternoon drive program with Tim Blackwell in January 2006.

[17] Dye again returned to the Gold Coast in July 2020 where she commenced co-hosting the breakfast program on Sea FM 90.9 with Ben Hannant and Dan Anstey.

[21] Throughout her career, Dye has appeared on numerous national television programs as a commentator, including Today, Nine News Now, Sunrise, The Morning Show, A Current Affair and 20 to 1.

[2] Dye has regularly shares updates pertaining to problems with her fertility and her desire to become a parent, which has included undergoing IVF treatment.

[38] Speaking about the issue of domestic violence, Dye told her on-air colleagues and listeners: "I was in a situation where I was terrified and I was crying in the kitchen with a knife in my hand because he punched me twice, he threw my Jack Russell up against the wall... he cracked a rib and he choked me".

[40][41] In 2018, Dye accused the radio industry of being rife with a sexist and sleazy culture and it was common for men to make inappropriate and unwanted advances towards female colleagues.

[46] In January 2010, Dye criticised Marie Claire magazine for using model Jennifer Hawkins as an example of a natural role model when they published an untouched photo of Hawkins to raise money for the Butterfly Foundation - a charity which helps people affected by eating disorders and negative body image.

"[47] Marie Claire editor Jackie Frank said she was disappointed with Dye's comments, stating: "We're not saying Jennifer is what all women should aspire to.

[49] Hawkins also said she was disappointed that the Butterfly Foundation had been overshadowed in the controversy, stating: "I didn't do this for PR - I did it to raise awareness for the Butterfly Foundation which helps men and women with eating disorders but you wouldn't know that because it has hardly been mentioned - and I had no idea that what was a good intention to promote healthy eating and lifestyle could snowball out of control as it has.

"[49] In 2022, Dye again posed nude, covered in gold body paint, to recreate a photo Gwyneth Paltrow had posted on Instagram to celebrate her 50th birthday.

[53][54][55] In the article, Dye responded to comments made by performer Ricki-Lee Coulter during a radio interview, in which she stated she didn't desire to become a mother but also said: "You never know, I might turn 40 and go, ‘come on let's pop one out'.

[53] She explained that she had held a similar viewpoint to Coulter but had changed her mind and now wanted to become a parent, but was enduring a "long and hard road", going through numerous rounds of IVF treatment.
