Sonia Kruger

Live weather crosses on Seven's 11AM were among Sonia Kruger's early television jobs, and that work grew into reporting on lifestyle and showbiz. Later she covered entertainment news for Today Tonight and co-hosted Dancing with the Stars, a show that fitted her background neatly. Dance is the other half of the story. Her Australian professional titles span Ballroom, Latin and New Vogue, and she competed for Australia at the Amateur British Ballroom Championships. As an MC, that's a handy pairing: someone at ease on live television who'll also look right at home when the dance floor opens at a gala or an awards night. She's based in NSW.
