Stephanie Rice has landed her first post-pool job with Channel Nine as the health and fitness reporter for Nine’s breakfast show Today.
Years of training and a sustained focus on healthy eating no doubt qualify her for the role, and she looks great on camera so she’ll probably be a hit with viewers. We’re also looking forward to watching her hit the piss with fellow Queenslander Karl Stefanovic at the Logies and hurling homophobic-themed abuse at Kochie before trying to get a cab back to Kobe Bryant’s house.
Today’s executive producer Neil Breen, who orchestrated
Rice’s signing, said:
We couldn’t be happier to have Steph come on
board as a member of the Today family. She will be terrific for us and the network. It’s not every day you have a multiple Olympic gold medallist join your team. And I don’t think the early mornings will be a problem for her after years in the pool.
Expect to see Ms Rice feature on the show from Monday.
