## Early life, education and pre-media career
Before working in media, Hockley trained and worked in health care. She holds a medical radiation science degree and worked as an emergency radiographer.[6](https://www.mediaweek.com.au/being-behind-the-mic-feels-like-home-to-me-brittany-hockley-on-why-her-next-of-the-best-gold-win-is-a-dream-come-true) Her own podcast biography puts it plainly: "In a past life I was an emergency radiographer, now I host this podcast that I adore, plus TV and radio!"[5](https://www.lifeuncutpodcast.com.au/about-us) Penguin Books Australia, her publisher, likewise identifies her as a former emergency radiographer.[8](https://www.penguin.com.au/authors/brittany-hockley)
## Reality television career
Hockley entered public life through the Bachelor franchise. On Nick "The Honey Badger" Cummins' 2018 season of *The Bachelor Australia*, Cummins became the first Bachelor in the Australian series not to choose a winner: he flew his final two, Hockley and Sophie Tieman, to [New Caledonia](https://www.edgepedia.org/new-caledonia) before rejecting them both.[1](https://www.mamamia.com.au/brittany-hockley/) She returned to the franchise on *Bachelor in Paradise* 2020, coupling with Timm Hanly; the relationship ended after filming.[1](https://www.mamamia.com.au/brittany-hockley/)
She later moved into mainstream reality television, competing on season 10 of Network 10's *I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! Australia*[3](https://10.com.au/im-a-celebrity-get-me-out-of-here/celebrities/season-10/brittany-hockley/pa240324bqkfp) and on *Dancing With The Stars Australia*.[2](https://www.stan.news/jules-lund-brittany-hockley-and-laura-byrne-to-host-the-new-exclusive-series-mafs-after-the-dinner-party-premiering-from-february-18-only-on-stan) One trade profile states she appeared on *The Bachelor Australia* in 2015,[6](https://www.mediaweek.com.au/being-behind-the-mic-feels-like-home-to-me-brittany-hockley-on-why-her-next-of-the-best-gold-win-is-a-dream-come-true) but the detailed Mamamia account places her debut on the 2018 Cummins season, and the 2018 dating is the better-supported one.[1](https://www.mamamia.com.au/brittany-hockley/)
## Life Uncut podcast
*Life Uncut* is an unfiltered conversation between Hockley and Laura Byrne covering "all things love, life, lust and a bunch of other stuff," navigating relationships and dating in the modern day.[5](https://www.lifeuncutpodcast.com.au/about-us) • [9](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-uncut/id1472126503) The show is released four times weekly.[5](https://www.lifeuncutpodcast.com.au/about-us)
