Career

Swan's primary career was in copywriting before appearing on television in 2003 as a contestant on the reality TV series Big Brother Australia. Swan sought work with breakfast radio in Queensland in late 2003. There she worked at Hot 91.1 (a subsidiary of DMG Radio Australia) with co-host Ronnie Stanton. Swan has also presented the Australian Idol radio show on Nova FM stations across Australia with Mark Holden and Ian Dickson.

Swan began work at the Vega 91.5 (3PTV) breakfast show alongside Australian Idol judge Ian Dickson and comedian Dave O'Neil in 2007. However in November 2009, it was announced that Swan would not be returning to Vega 91.5 (now known as Classic Rock 91.5) due to a cost cutting measure.

In 2010, Network Ten announced Swan as host of the new morning show The Circle[2] alongside Denise Drysdale, Yumi Stynes and Gorgi Coghlan. Swan also appears on The Project as a panel guest.

In 2010, Swan also became a spokesperson for Jenny Craig, appearing in national print and television advertisements.

In 2011, Swan won Most Popular New Female Talent, and was nominated for Most Popular TV Presenter and the Gold Logie for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television at the 2011 TV Week Logie Awards.[3]

Personal life

Together with partner Chris, Swan has two sons Leo, born 2008 and Kit, born August, 2011.
