Dr Chris Brown’s Bondi Vet replacement revealed
It’s hard to imagine Bondi Vet without Dr Chris Brown, but the beloved series is about to get a big shake-up with not one, not two, but four new hosts.
Dr Chris announced he was leaving the show earlier this year to focus on other TV commitments (The Living Room, The Project and I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!), sparking an extensive, nationwide search – but it was never going to be easy to find someone to fill the Logie winner’s shoes.
After thousands of applications and nominations, producers were so overwhelmed with the talent on offer, they couldn’t reach a decision. So, they settled on four new faces – Drs Alex Hynes, Danni Dusek, Lewis Hunt and Peter Ricci – who you can see in the gallery above.
“Each of the four new Bondi Vets has a unique skill set and story to tell,” said WTFN director of content Steve Oemcke. “Their love of pets and animals shines through and there is a great chemistry between them.
“Their work in front of the camera has been outstanding, and we know that fans will really get behind them as they take the show in an exciting new direction.”
Despite its name and that iconic location, the new-look series (which will air next year) won’t actually be based in Bondi. Dr Alex works in Brisbane, Dr Danni works in Mentone, Victoria, Dr Lewis works in Sydney’s northern beaches and Dr Peter works at Perth Zoo.
