Grant Denyer hints he will be quitting television as he reveals he’s training to become a pilot

He’s hosted Family Feud, Celebrity Name Game and Dancing with the Stars.

But it appears, Grant Denyer is focusing on a new career after revealing he’s training to become a pilot on Instagram last month.

The 42-year-old host shared a photo of himself flying a plane and wrote: ‘I’m lucky to have a wonderful career in TV but I’ve also been super hungry to learn a completely different skill and stretch the brain muscle again with a good solid challenge.’

‘It’s bloody rewarding hitting the books and learning a completely different craft and it’s also just so damn dreamy playing above the clouds,’ he continued.

He also thanked his instructor Diego for ‘helping me fall in love with it all’ and said its been an ‘incredible experience’.

Grant continued: ‘I like setting goals and chasing challenges, its given me some truly incredible experiences in my life. Let this one begin.’

Grant has had a rather tumultuous television career the last few years.

In May, it was announced the 42-year-old would be returning as the Family Feud host after the series was cancelled two years ago. 

Network Ten had cancelled Family Feud due to low ratings in July 2018, and its last episode was watched by just 213,000 metro viewers.

At the time, Grant said the show had been overexposed by airing six days a week.

‘It did good things but we’re probably guilty of, if anything, driving it into the ground a little bit too early,’ he said on his 2Day FM breakfast program.

In December 2019, Grant’s new game show Celebrity Name Game was also axed due to poor ratings.

The news came months after Grant’s 2Day FM’s radio show alongside Ed Kavalee and Ash London was cancelled in August 2019.
