It comes after Sonia, 54, defected to Seven late last year. Her new duties at Nine’s rival will include her hosting family reality show Mega Mini Golf, judge Australia’s Got Talent: The Champions, play a role in Seven’s Tokyo Games coverage and possibly play a role in Big Brother, which she previously hosted on Nine.

The former Today Extra star took over as host of The Voice during the fifth season, following the departure of Darren McMullen.
