Australian sports presenter, Erin Molan shared an explosive claim about her former employer, Channel Nine, saying that her appearance was “rated” out of ten by one of the network’s bosses.
The revelation came about this morning during a discussion about MAFS star Harrison Boon on the radio show she co-hosts on 2DAY FM’s Hughesy, Ed & Erin this morning. During the segment, Erin was asked to rate Harrison out of ten.
“Can I just say Harrison, when I was at Channel Nine for ten years, one of the bosses there told somebody that they rated me an eight (out of 10), because I was ‘hot, but not too hot that I’d intimidate other women to the point where they wouldn’t want to watch me’,” she said on-air.
“I thought it was appalling, I was really annoyed.”
Molan worked as a reported and presenter for Channel 10, before moving to The NRL Footy Show in 2012. She’s worked as a fill in sport presenter on Nine News and Today and in 2016, she was made permanent Friday and Saturday sports presenter on Nine News Sydney.
In December 2021, Molan left Channel Nine to join Sky News Australia as a Primetime Contributor and also works as a radio presenter on 2Day FM.
In October last year, the news presenter was included in Maxim’s annual Maxim Hot 100 list. She was joined by fellow news presenters Georgie Tunny, Carrie Bickmore, Sandra Sully, Allison Langdon, Natalie Barr and Tracy Grimshaw.
