Despite her long hiatus from the network, Wilkinson has remained in the public eye through her role in a highly publicized defamation lawsuit.
Friends of Wilkinson say her court appearances worked to her advantage by giving the TV star ‘a constant stream of publicity’.
“Yes, she’s been off air for a while, but I don’t think anyone has forgotten her,” former Seven and Nine director Peter Meakin told the Weekend Australian.
“I’m sure her loyal followers will remain loyal.”
