Chrissie Swan confirmed as host of rebooted Healthy, Wealthy, & Wise

Chrissie Swan has been announced as the host of a reimagined version of iconic Australian lifestyle show Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, set to premiere later this month on the Seven Network and 7plus.

First airing in the early 1990s, the original program was a staple of Australian TV, blending lifestyle advice with practical content across food, finance, health, travel and home. The new iteration, produced by WTFN Entertainment, promises to retain much of the original spirit while bringing a contemporary spin to the format.

Swan said the decision to come on board was an easy one. “When I got the call, it took me all of five seconds to say yes! I was a huge fan of the show back in the nineties and as an obsessive home cook, renovator and lover of helpful home hacks, I was born for this role.”

The refreshed version will feature a new cast of expert presenters, handpicked from Australia’s top content creators. The show will combine studio-based segments with on-location stories filmed across the country, aimed at delivering useful, feel-good information to viewers.

Steve Oemcke, Chief Creative Officer at WTFN, said: “It’s a privilege to bring this much-loved format back to the small screen and I’m sure a whole new generation of Australians will delight in its inspiring content.”

“Chrissie brings a unique blend of humour, heart and relatability to everything she does. Her unmistakable authenticity and genuine connection with audiences makes her a natural choice to lead this exciting reboot of a household favourite.”

The reboot adds to WTFN’s portfolio of factual and lifestyle hits, which includes The Living Room, Bondi Vet, Paramedics and Code 1: Minute By Minute.

Healthy, Wealthy & Wise will premiere on Seven and 7plus later this month.
