Kerri-Anne Kennerley

Kerri-Anne has been one of Australia?s favourite faces since her first appearance on television in 1963. She has worked in a variety of different roles in the entertainment industry, from cabaret singer to radio station CEO.

Born in Sandgate, a working class suburb of Brisbane, Kerri Anne was brought up in a hard-working family with a strong work ethic, which she believes has helped her overcome the "speed bumps" which occur in everyone's life from time to time.

Kerri-Anne wanted to perform for as long as she can remember and singing in a local group led to her first TV appearance on kids' television show 'Everybody In'. Her persistence resulted in a job co-hosting the program. After hosting the Saturday show, Kerri-Anne went solo, touring the world as a caberet singer. She lived and worked in New York for several years, where she met her husband, John Kennerley.

After a brief period acting in Aussie soap 'The Restless Years', Kerri-Anne landed a job as the presenter of 'Good Morning Australia'.

She co-hosted the show for 11 years and became a household name. After GMA finished, Kerri-Anne achieved her long time ambition to host 'Midday', which became the most watched daytime program in Australia.

Now presenting 'Mornings With Kerri-Anne', she has brought the WOW factor back to morning television, combining her love of fabulous frocks and shoes with irreverent interviews with Australia's VIPs and a caring attitude to the issues facing her audience.

Kerri-Anne Kennerley is a survivor. She has negotiated changes in her career with style, dignity and hard work and has encompassed over three decades of news, lifestyle and variety programming with equal aplomb.
She is always a complete professional and the Australian public love her because she's not afraid to send up her glamorous image.
