Former 1 News reporter Matt McLean has been named as the new Breakfast weather presenter, following the departure of Sam Wallace.
McLean, 30, left New Zealand in 2016 to travel and work in Europe, but will return to New Zealand in the next few weeks to take up the morning television role.
He will join Hilary Barry, Brodie Kane, Daniel Faitaua and his best mate Jack Tame on the TVNZ programme.
He announced the news on Instagram.
“When I was approached about coming back to work on Breakfast, it was a no-brainer. I had to say yes. It’s pretty amazing to come full circle and return home to be part of the programme’s presenting team,” Matt says.
“It really can’t be called a job, working on Breakfast. It’ll be a genuine joy to turn up to work each morning and help put together a show New Zealanders can be proud of. It’s a brilliant team, and I’m so excited to get back and get stuck in. Plus, someone needs to keep Jack in line,” he adds.
Former long-standing weather presenter Sam Wallace announced he was leaving the show at the end of 2016.
He will host The Hits’ Auckland morning radio show alongside Seven Sharp host Toni Street.
