E! AUSTRALIA host Ksenija Lukich has become the first Australian to present the entertainment headlines in the US.
The 28-year-old flew to Los Angeles to cover Max Mara's Women In Film event, but ended up spending her downtime doing double duty on E! News, beamed out to the show business program's US audience (which reaches a staggering 94.2 million American households).
The red carpet regular, who won her TV role in a contest straight out of Sydney University, told entertainment website TV Insider: "it was an amazing opportunity to go onto news [as] no Australian host has ever done that before. I felt very lucky".
Working alongside co-hosts Catt Saddler and Maria Menounos, Lukich said was a completely different ball game.
"We did everything in one take, there was no fluffing around ... it was definitely a big step up for me," she said."They were all so welcoming and warm, it was an incredible experience."
