The Seven Network has announced that Sonia Kruger is returning to the network in 2020.

Her first line of duty will be as a judge on the ultimate talent showdown, Australia’s Got Talent: The Champions, and as host of the international family blockbuster, Mega Mini Golf.

Kruger will also be part of Seven’s broadcast team for Tokyo 2020, projected to be the biggest broadcast and digital event in Australian history.

Seven West Media managing director and CEO James Warburton said: “Sonia is without a doubt a superstar and one of the best television talents in Australia.

“I speak on behalf of the entire Seven team when I say that Sonia was the one that got away.

“To say we’re thrilled to be welcoming her home as a judge for AGT: The Champions, as host of Mega Mini Golf, and as a member of our team for Tokyo 2020, is an understatement.”

Kruger previously featured on Seven, as co-host of Dancing with the Stars and as Entertainment Reporter for Sunrise and Today Tonight.

She commented: “I’m beyond excited to be returning to the network where I first discovered my love of live television and family entertainment.

“With the upcoming Olympics in Tokyo and a slate of brand new prime time shows Seven is the place to be.

“I feel privileged to be joining James and the team for what’s going to be an exhilarating ride.”
