Livinia Nixon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Livinia Helen Nixon (born 19 March 1975) is an Australian television presenter and actor who has worked on a number of programs appearing on the Nine Network.
One of her earliest sightings was as the lead babe in the music videoclip for Peter André's Funky Junky (1993).
Nixon appeared in several small roles in telemovies and TV dramas in the mid 1990's, but became much better known after a short gig as the host of children's show "Plucka's Place" in 1998 led to a job as co‑host of the long-running prime-time variety program Hey Hey It's Saturday in 1998‑99. During 1998-2000 she also co-hosted a radio show on TT FM with Ed Phillips.
After the cancellation of the show in 1999, Nixon has had a number of presenting and reporting jobs on the Nine Network, including being a reporter on the Victorian edition of Postcards; a show about tourist destinations in Victoria, a reporter/sidekick on Micallef Tonight, a tonight show hosted by Shaun Micallef; the host of Bark-Off, a game-show for dogs; and most recently as the weather presenter for National Nine News Melbourne. In 2006 she was a presenter on Getaway for a short period, and also a co-host on Temptation, which is the re-incarnation of Sale of the Century.
Nixon was also known for her appearances with mayor John So in a tourism promotion campaign for the city of Melbourne entitled "That's Melbourne". The campaign was successful enough to be spun off into a half-hour television show hosted by Nixon.
Nixon currently appears on nationwide television as co-host of the Temptation game show on the Nine Network (since its introduction in 2005).
Prior to embarking on a television career, she studied drama and completed a commerce/arts degree at Deakin University, majoring in marketing and Chinese. She completed a graduate diploma in applied science at Melbourne University in 2004. Livinia is a supporter of the Richmond Football Club.
Nixon co-hosted with Vince Sorrenti the Master Builders Association of NSW; Excellence in Construction Awards 2006 4 November 2006.
