The host of Channel Seven's successful 10 Years Younger in 10 Days, the co-host of Dancing With The Stars and entertainment reporter for Today Tonight, Sonia Kruger is one of Australia's most popular television personalities.

A versatile performer, Kruger is an accomplished actress, dancer, entertainer and reporter. She first graced our screens as the adventurous live-cross weather presenter for Seven's news and information program 11AM. Her role developed quickly to encompass reporting of entertainment and lifestyle stories. Sonia remained with the program for two years before moving on to Today Tonight.

Kruger has been entertaining audiences since the tender age of four, when she began her dancing career in Brisbane. Specialising in Ballroom and Latin American dancing, she has represented Australia at the Amateur British Ballroom Championships and was the Australian Ballroom, Latin & New Vogue Professional Champion.

Her talent as one of the country's foremost dancers saw Kruger land the coveted role of 'Tina Sparkle' in the hugely successful Baz Luhrmann-directed movie, Strictly Ballroom. On set, Kruger took on the role as dance coach for cast members. Her instructing skills have also been utilised by NIDA, where Sonia taught for more than four years.

Kruger continued to remain in the public eye after Strictly Ballroom on television as well as in theatre. She was a huge hit as a reporter on Channel Nine's revamped kids show, Wonder World and made several appearances in ABC-TV's Three Men and A Baby Grand.

Kruger and Dancing With The Stars judge Todd McKenney can be heard mornings on MIX FM's breakfast program in Sydney.
