‘I definitely was not the right fit’: Getaway presenter Catriona Rowntree reveals the one show she should have NEVER hosted

Getaway host Catriona Rowntree has graced Australian television for over 25 years.

But on Friday, the 49-year-old revealed the one show she should have never hosted because she ‘wasn’t the right fit’.

‘I definitely was not the right fit for a show called The Chopping Block, although I got to work with Matt Moran, who I’m still friends with,’ she told TV Tonight.

The series saw celebrity chef Matt Moran revive struggling restaurants by changing their menu, and renovating the space.

Catriona also revealed she ‘had an absolute ball’ hosting Australia’s Funniest Home Videos.

‘I had an absolute ball doing that show. I was asked if I could stay on and do it every week, but it would have meant having to give up Getaway,’ she said.

This comes after Catriona revealed how her new travel series, Nine’s Country House Hunters, has been keeping her busy amid the pandemic.

‘At the beginning of the year, post drought and bushfires, I vowed to do what I could to help our regional towns,’ the 49-year-old told The Herald Sun.  

Unable to travel overseas, the new show will showcase country and coastal towns around Australia, while highlighting real estate opportunities.

‘Country House Hunters was inspired by my real life; leaving the city to begin a new life on a sheep and grain farm and embracing a beautiful new community,’ Catriona told the publication.

The upcoming series, inspired by Catriona’s love for the outdoors and country, was recently approved by Channel Nine. It started filming in October. 

Catriona and her family have been locked down in their historic Victorian sheep property.
