New Idea is excited to announce that Ricki-Lee Coulter is your new Australia’s Got Talent host!
The 33-year-old singer is ready to “get the party started” which auditions kicking off this month around Australia, and a yet-to-be announced air date coming later this year.
“I’m so excited to be hosting the show,” Ricki-Lee told New Idea on Sunday.
“It’s gonna be so much fun! I’m a big fan and knew it was something I’d really enjoy. Not only do I get a front row seat to watch the best talent Australia has to offer, I also know what it feels like to stand side of stage waiting to step out and do a performance that potentially could change your life.”
The Raining Diamonds hit-maker will star alongside American superstar Nicole Scherzinger, My Kitchen Rules judge Manu Feildel, award-winning star of stage and screen Lucy Durack and comedian Shane Jacobson.
“It’s a show that families and people of all ages can sit down and watch together,” Ricki-Lee explained, after the “most successful reality television format in history” took a short hiatus from Aussie TV.
“It’s feel good TV and there’s no other show like it. You get to watch these incredible acts that will have you hanging on the edge of your seat, gasping with shock and screaming with excitement.
“What I love about AGT is that there is so much variety; it’s not just confined to singers or dancers. It’s every type of weird and wonderful coming together on stage. It’s always surprising too. Just when you thought you’d seen it all…you’ll see something that makes your jaw drop! And that’s the beauty of AGT.”
