Dr Chris Brown’s first job at Channel Seven is leaked following his shock move from Ten after 15 years
Dr Chris Brown‘s first job at Channel Seven has been revealed following his shock departure from Ten after 15 years.
The celebrity vet, 44, will be hosting the network’s reboot of ’90s entertainment show Man O Man, TV Tonight revealed.
Angus Ross, Seven’s Chief Content Officer, said: ‘Man O Man will be event television when it returns for its 30th anniversary.’
‘It has the wow factor, heart and humour that we know will captivate viewers around the country. Dr. Chris Brown is the perfect host who isn’t afraid to have fun or offer a little mouth to mouth to a Shetland pony.’
Chris added: ‘I am so excited to bring back this flagship show. In challenging times with rising interest rates, housing affordability and climate change, a splash in the Man O Man pool is the perfect antidote to lighten the mood. It’s Australia’s greatest wet dream.’

The Australian television game show, which was screened in 1994 and hosted by Rob Guest, was presented in the format of a male beauty pageant.
The all-female audience would vote on the best looking male and the eliminated men were pushed into a swimming pool.
In February, it was revealed Chris quit Channel 10 after 15 years, becoming the latest high-profile star to jump ship at the struggling network.
He signed a deal with Seven and will officially join in July to produce ‘new projects’ for Channel Seven and 7Plus.
Chris first joined Ten in 2008 to host Bondi Vet, which became a surprise ratings hit and was syndicated around the world.
The factual series was based on his real-life experience as a vet at the Bondi Junction Veterinary Hospital in Sydney’s east.
He went on to become a part-time panelist on The Project and also co-hosted I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and The Living Room, which was axed last year.
The move to Seven is a homecoming of sorts for Dr Chris.

He started his TV career in 2003 as a presenter on Harry’s Practice on Seven, a role that earned him a Logie nomination for Most Popular New Talent.
The Sydney University graduate never planned to work in the media, but was discovered by a talent scout telling animal stories over a few beers in a pub.
His passion for animals started as a child growing up in Newcastle where his father Graeme was the local vet.
In between working for Seven and Ten, Dr Chris did a stint at Nine hosting segments for Burke’s Backyard, and was also a contributor to the Today show.
