After 25 years in the industry, Natalie Bassingthwaighte has plenty to talk about - including what to expect when she takes the stage at an upcoming tribute concert honouring the late George Michael; getting frank about ageing in the spotlight and the judgement that women receive for undergoing cosmetic procedures; and how she really felt when she found out that Neighbours was returning after she joined some of Ramsay Street's other most famous residents for its short-lived farewell.

There's also her recent separation from her husband, Cameron McGlinchey, with whom she shares two children. In this wide-ranging and at times highly emotional episode of Something To Talk About, she speaks about that publicly for the first time and also reveals she is in a new relationship that “makes my heart smile.”

George Michael: Freedom! A Celebration With The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is at 7.30pm on December 9 at Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl. For more details, visit ticketek.com.au.
