Reality television

Forscutt first became widely recognized when she participated in the 2006 season of the Australian edition of Big Brother.

Modelling

Her modeling work frequently appeared in Australian men's publications including Zoo Weekly, FHM, and Ralph. Notably, she was the pioneering Australian model to be featured as a character in the video game Need for Speed: ProStreet. Electronic Arts discovered her through a bikini photoshoot published in Zoo Weekly and subsequently invited her to their Vancouver studio for photography and filming sessions to develop her digital persona, which served as a starter female racer in the game.

Television and acting

In early 2008, Forscutt regularly contributed to the Bigpond GameArena program Benny and Richie. Later that year, in October, she made a guest appearance on the Seven Network drama series Packed to the Rafters. By May 2009, she was featured in the music video for Steve Forde’s track “Guns & Guitars”. Forscutt briefly explored opportunities in Hollywood films and had moved to Melbourne by 2010. On 29 July 2010, she was a guest on The Matty Johns Show.

Music

In November 2010, Forscutt revealed her participation in a girl group called "Video Girl," where she took on roles as both vocalist and DJ. The group completed recording their first album and intended to perform live throughout 2011; nevertheless, reports from within the industry suggested that her involvement in music was relatively brief.
