‘Literally like last week [the network] said to me we want you to host Big Brother,’ she said.
‘You could’ve knocked me over with a feather because I know there were a lot of people in the mix,’ the TV host added.
The ageless blonde told the radio hosts that hosting Big Brother was not her main reason for leaving Channel Nine, but rather to be a judge on Australia’s Got Talent.
‘I was going back to Seven to do AGT and to judge on that, and I’m looking forward to that Kyle because finally I get paid to judge people which is awesome,’ she said as former AGT judge Kyle concurred, calling it a ‘wonderful job’.
