CHRISSIE SWAN

TV & RADIO PRESENTER

For over 20 years, Chrissie has graced Australian television screens and radio airwaves, showcasing her knack for the spoken word, her off-the-cuff antics, and her down-to-earth personality.

After seven years as part of the ACRA award-winning Nova 100 Melbourne Breakfast Show, ‘Chrissie, Sam & Browny’, she was given her own show as host of the Nova Network’s new national afternoon show, ‘The Chrissie Swan Show’, which, in 2024, was named the most-listened-to and number-one show from 2–4 pm. During her long and successful broadcast career, she has helped take both ‘Chrissie, Sam & Browny ‘ and Melbourne’s Mix 101.1 Breakfast Show with Jane Hall to number one FM in Melbourne. 2024 also saw her launch her very own podcast, The ChrissieCast, on the Nova Network.

One of Australia’s favourite and most versatile personalities, Chrissie stepped up to The Project desk in 2022 during Carrie Bickmore’s European adventure. She has hosted two seasons of the comedy panel show Would I Lie To You? Australia and, for two seasons, was part of the guessing panel with Abbie Chatfield, Dave Hughes, and Mel B on the much-loved and addictive singing competition The Masked Singer. A pioneer in the reality TV world, Chrissie was runner-up on the reality TV phenomenon Big Brother in 2003 and also runner-up on the first season of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!. She also joined the cast of Celebrity MasterChef Australia in 2021.

In 2010, Chrissie hosted Network 10’s new morning chat show The Circle, alongside Yumi Stynes, Gorgi Coghlan, and Denise Drysdale. The Circle was honoured with three TV Week Logie nominations in 2011, and Chrissie won Most Popular Female Presenter, as well as receiving a nomination for the highly prestigious Gold Logie.

In 2012 and 2013, Chrissie hosted Can Of Worms on 10 and was nominated for a 2013 Logie for Most Popular Female Presenter. In 2017, she co-hosted both The Great Australian Spelling Bee and Find My Family for Network 10.

A gifted writer who happily over-shares the amusing and sometimes challenging realities of day-to-day life for many working mums in Australia, Chrissie was a regular columnist for Sunday Life and Good Weekend, as well as for News Limited’s Weekend magazine. She published her first book, Is It Just Me? (Confessions Of An Over-Sharer), in 2015.

Chrissie is a committed parent to her three beautiful children and an ambassador for Foodbank.
