Hannah Hollis' shock career move: Popular Aussie TV presenter announces sudden departure from Fox Sports after 10 years
Hannah Hollis has revealed her shock new career move, announcing she is stepping away from her presenter role at Fox Sports.
The Aussie TV presenter, who has been working for the sports broadcaster for 10 years, will continue fronting lifestyle show Luxury Escapes, which is currently being produced by Foxtel.
The 36-year-old's final broadcast will be on Sunday as she covers the Suncorp Super Netball.
This won't be Hannah's first time on Luxury Escapes. She has already featured on the second season of the popular travel show.
The program, which first aired in 2016, gives viewers a glimpse into some of the best holiday experiences across the globe, as well as our very own backyard.

Hannah opened up to news.com.au about the career move after having just returned from a luxury escape in the US.
'I've been to some of the most beautiful places around the world experiencing wild indulgence, adventure, food, art and culture all steeped in local tradition,' she said.
'It's a joy to share stories like this.'
Despite the complete 180 from sport to travel, Hannah assured her fans she wasn't turning her back on her passion for the field, but instead hoped to blend the two in the future.
'My time with Fox Sports and Foxtel — and the opportunities I've enjoyed over the past decade — have further fuelled my ambition,' she said.
She added that it felt like the perfect time to step out of her comfort zone and explore broader possibilities within the media landscape.
It comes after a new shot was fired by Fox Sports in the broadcaster's increasingly bitter footy war with Channel Seven.
This year, Fox is the only way footy fans across most of Australia can watch games on a Saturday for large parts of the season due to a change in the league's broadcasting agreement.
It's a move that has infuriated footy fans and left a big dent in Seven's coverage, which has been bolstered by its huge investment in AFL panel shows with the likes of Kane Cornes and Caroline Wilson.
This is also the first year viewers have had the option of watching every game on Fox, with the pay TV giant's commentators covering every match, with ratings jumping by a huge amount as a result.
Seven star Brian Taylor has been taking pot shots at Fox by reminding fans that they don't always send their commentary crews to matches and instead have them cover the games from the studio, whereas he and his colleagues are always at the ground.
Fox recently hit back by launching an ad showing a Taylor lookalike banging on the door of a pub when he couldn't get inside to watch footy on a Saturday.
That has crossed a line with Seven, with a staffer at the broadcaster hitting the commercial with the 'disrespectful' tag, according to The Age.

Skye Wheatley stuns onlookers as she flaunts her insane figure in bodysuit with impromptu street fashion show
Skye Wheatley set hearts racing on Saturday when she strutted her stuff through a car park while wearing a very revealing bodysuit. The influencer, 31, flaunted her figure in the skin-tight brown frock and put on a leggy display with a pair of lacy black stockings. She paired the racy look with a pair of kitten heels and a Louis Vuitton handbag as she spruiked the athleisure wear from Good People Apparel. Wearing a set of black-framed reading glasses, Skye finished her look with a brown headband as she left her gold tresses down. It comes after Skye made a surprising admission about her sexuality on Thursday during the latest episode of her Nova FM podcast Skye & Callum. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! winner shares sons, Forest, five, and Bear, three, with her current longtime partner of eight years, Lachlan Waugh. She confessed she may be 'pansexual' and would have explored that side of herself more if she had never started dating Lachlan. Co-host Callum Hole kicked off the conversation by saying: 'So obviously, you've been with Lachie for a while.' 'Yes, eight years, going strong,' she told the former Love Island star, revealing she got pregnant with their first child together just four months after they started dating. 'Eight years, when you were 25. But I did hear something - that if you had more time, then you might have explored your sexuality a little bit more?' he asked. The former Big Brother star agreed, revealing she learned about pansexuality while watching the Stan reality TV show, Love Triangle. 'I didn't know what pansexuality was until watching this show,' she said. 'But basically you are attracted to the person's personality, not what sex they are… you could be attracted to anyone, but you're attracted to their personality.' The influencer flaunted her figure in the skin-tight brown frock and put on a leggy display with a pair of lacy black stockings Callum, 27, clarified: 'So pansexual is basically, you're trying to say, you're not attracted to their sex, you're just attracted to their personality?' 'Yes, their personality and, like, who they are as a person and stuff,' Skye said, before revealing that is how she views her own attraction to people. 'And I'm like, oh yeah, totally. I think that I could go down that path because I definitely see people's personalities before their looks or their sex. 'So I feel like I could maybe explore that, or I could have, not now obviously, but I could have maybe gone down that path.' 'I find it really interesting, because I'm like, yeah, totally... I definitely connect with people's personalities,' she added.

British and Irish Lions vs Western Force live: Latest score and updates as tourists play first match in Australia
The British and Irish Lions face the Western Force in their first match on Australian soil in Perth as the tourists bid to bounce back from defeat to Argentina. Andy Farrell was left furious with his side's showing Dublin as they fell to a narrow loss against the Pumas, though there were signs of encouragement for the head coach as his squad continue to get up to speed. Farrell has rung the changes for this initial outing Down Under having been able to more fully integrate the Leinster contingent, and those involved in the Premiership final, after their delayed arrival into camp. It is the Western Force selection, however, that has generated more of the talking points this week, with the Lions accusing Wallabies boss Joe Schmidt of breaching the terms of the tour agreement but failing to release some of his Australia stars. There are, however, a few familiar faces on show for the Super Rugby Pacific side: scrum half Nic White is one of the game's great pests and controllers, while playmaker Ben Donaldson, a late call-up after injury struck Kurtley Beale, had a strong Super Rugby Pacific season. Lions vs Western Force live British and Irish Lions vs Western Force live The British and Irish Lions have landed in Australia and begin life Down Under with an intriguing meeting with the Western Force. It was a disappointing start for the tourists as the curtain came up on their summer with defeat to Argentina in Dublin, leaving Andy Farrell ticking - though there was plenty to encourage the Lions head coach, too. To Perth, then, for the first match of the tour proper. Kick off at Optus Stadium is at 11am BST. Harry Latham-Coyle27 June 2025 11:13

Footy legend Brendan Fevola calls for drastic change at Carlton - 'the board is just there for themselves'
AFL legend Brendan Fevola has called for fresh faces at Carlton following the club's horror 50-point loss to Port Adelaide on Thursday night. The Blues faithful showed their anger after the Power belting, vandalising the club headquarters early on Friday morning in protest of another failed campaign. Fevola, much like the vandals, took aim at the board more so than under-siege coach Michael Voss. 'Something is wrong, something is going on, the board needs to go, I've been saying that for ages, the board is just there for themselves,' the Carlton Hall of Fame forward said on Fox FM's Fifi, Fev & Nick show. 'Get new people in; get old Carlton people in. 'Everyone is saying, 'Sack Vossy, Vossy needs to go', and I'm like, 'No, I don't think that's the go'. 'It gets to a point where you go, 'I don't think the players are playing for you, mate'. If you're playing for a coach, you don't put up what you put up in that first half. 'They're putting up nothing, they didn't kick a goal for the whole first half. 'They don't look like they've got a system; but they do have a system, they train and they train hard. They are just not performing.' Carlton were in second spot on the ladder in round 19 last year - but have won just seven times since. 'They have the players; if Vossy and the assistants were coaching West Coast, you'd go well, they just don't have the cattle,' Fevola said. 'Carlton were premiership favourites at the start of the year (and) they're not even going to play finals, their season is over. 'I (also) don't know what's wrong with Patrick Cripps. I would just put them all on ice and say you're done, get your body right for next year.' Fevola also took aim at out-of-contract ruckman Tom De Koning, who has been heavily linked to St Kilda on the AFL's most lucrative deal. 'The problem is they have Tom De Koning, who is in our top three players. He's been offered $12million to go to St Kilda and Carlton can't match that,' he said. 'If he's going, don't play him; say to him he needs to make a decision now and if he can't answer that, you're in the twos – get some young kid to play. 'If he doesn't want to stay, just be honest.' Voss' men need to win six of their remaining eight games to qualify for finals - but after a pedestrian performance against the Power, that is highly unlikely.
