Robbie was given the unfortunate nickname of Maggot from the age of 5, which started off as a joke, but spiralled beyond school. She said: I detested it but by the time I was eight, I realised it wasnt going anywhere so I embraced it, but when I moved to Melbourne people started calling me it and I hadn't even told them it was my nickname." Thankfully she was wowing directors in the city and began to make a real name for herself, shaking off the 'maggot' tag in the process as her fledgling career began to grow.
