DOES Jennifer Hawkins have a new gig? Whispers in the television world have the Myer glamour girl as host of Channel 7’s new Make Me A Supermodel.
That’s despite previous rumours that Erika Heynatz, the former host of the cable hit Australia’s Next Top Model, had the job.
Hawkins is already signed to Seven as a reporter on travel show The Great Outdoors and re-signed with the network for another 12 months in September last year.
Manager Sean Anderson confirmed Hawkins’ name had been linked to the show, but said negotiations were in the initial stages.
“We’re meeting with Seven next week,” he said.
Make Me A Supermodel would be a good fit for the blonde bombshell given her own meteoric rise to fame.
Based on the Brit show hosted by Kiwi supermodel Rachel Hunter, it will feature guys and girls battling it out for a shot at becoming an overnight success in the modelling world and a contract with Chadwick Models and IMG.
Winning the Miss Universe crown in 2004 was Hawkins’ big break, taking her from a Newcastle cheerleader to a household name with lucrative contracts with Channel 7, Myer, Lovable and Covergirl.
She’s also had acting lessons, but turned down a role in the Pink Panther movie sequel last year because of a conflict in scheduling.
