"Some days I'm gone before Zac wakes up and get home after he's gone to bed and that's very difficult," Rebecca Gibney says. "The other day he said, 'I don't want you to be my mummy any more,' because I couldn't make it to his sports carnival. It's heartbreaking..."

IN THE fickle world of television stardom, nowhere is the pecking order of celebrity played out better than at the Logies. For those at the top, such as Packed to the Rafters gold Logie nominee Rebecca Gibney, life could not be sweeter.

For Gibney last Sunday's Logies night was all about months of planning by publicists and assistants working feverishly to make sure their network's ''trophy girl'' was at her best.

I don’t know why, but I got really nervous. Maybe it was because this dress was so tight that I thought it might split!

Rebecca is on the phone from Sydney, during a break in filming series three of Packed to the Rafters (we’re seeing series two here at the moment). The Kiwi-born actress has a reputation for being friendly and down-to-earth and she lives up to it – talking to her is like having a chinwag over the fence with your neighbour.

When it comes to the subject of Zac (6), Rebecca is like any other proud mother, happy to chat about her only child, whom she clearly adores. Because of his age, Zac has never watched any of his mum’s TV shows. "Nothing’s really been suitable for children, although I did try to show him a kids’ programme I did about 15 years ago called Joey. But there was a scene where this kangaroo goes mad and I start squealing. He hated that. I had to turn it off pretty quickly!”

Whenever I was out in public and people recognised me, I felt the image wasn't good enough. I didn't feel dressed up enough. I never felt pretty enough.

"It was a turning point for me. I had to deal with those fears or I probably would have run away somewhere and died. I was in a bad way."
A female psychologist encouraged Gibney to confront her self-loathing and phobias during two years of intensive therapy: "She didn't pull any punches. I had to recognise why I was acting the way I was.. what the negative patterns were from, and then let them go."

"We also discussed if I fell pregnant in real life again how that would affect me at 44. We contemplated it, but I feel I might have missed the boat a bit."
