Jules Lund

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jules Lund (b. April 24, 1979 – ) is an Australian television presenter.

The bleached-blonde Lund's career began when he won the FOX FM's "15 Minutes of Fame" competition on radio (presented by Matt Tilley and Tracy Bartram) in the early 2000s. While FOX FM's support of Lund died off once the Fame competition ended, it proved to be a launching pad for Lund's career.

After a number of years in the wilderness, Lund eventually landed a job at the Channel Nine show Getaway in 2004, which he is still on today. He also makes many appearances at Melbourne social functions, as well as occasional appearances on radio. He was one of the three hosts of the Logies red carpet arrivals in 2006.

In July 2006, Lund has appeared in Channel Nine's Torvill and Dean's Dancing on Ice and was partnered with professional ice skater, Kristina Cousins. Described as skating like an "awkward giraffe on ice"^[1] in episode 2, Lund was 5th eliminated in the competition. Of popular demand, Lund came back the following week to perform.

In October, 2006, Lund was given a new role as the host of a panel discussion show named Big Questions, which answers Which is the better of the two? style questions.

The Aussie heart-throb was the star attraction at a lavish launch event held on 13 November to announce details of the 2007 FORMULA 1™ ING Australian Grand Prix. Jules will be competing in the Celebrity Challenge race at the Albert Park race track in Melbourne from 15 - 18 March 2007.
