Launching on Sunday 31 January, A Current Affair will bring viewers the latest in local and international consumer affairs, entertainment and real-life stories for everyday New Zealanders.

With almost 20 years’ experience as a journalist, Susie has a wealth of experience in newspapers, online and broadcasting, most recently presenting and producing for Newshub Live at 4.30pm.

Susie is looking forward to hosting a brand-new entertainment show in 2021. “I’m thrilled to be starting the New Year with a new show on TVNZ 2.

“Current affairs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I can’t wait to begin this new chapter with A Current Affair. I’m looking forward to sharing the show with New Zealand audiences.”

Viewers will get a double dose of Breakfast’s Matty McLean who also joins A Current Affair as the show’s local reporter. Matty will do what he does best – chatting! He’ll be on-hand to speak to the nation’s favourite entertainment stars, and get all the goss on their lives and latest projects.

Matty says, “I’m nosy by nature, which is possibly how I ended up on this career path!

“So the chance to get the scoop from some truly fascinating people is really exciting. I’m betting some of these interviews will spark some amazing water cooler conversations afterwards!”

In the show’s premiere episode, Matty sits down for a one on one interview with TVNZ’s new bachelorette Lexie Brown, to find out what she’s really looking for in love.

Join Susie and Matty when A Current Affair premieres on Sunday 31 January, 7pm, TVNZ 2.
