Shelley De Billinghurst Craft (born Shelley Lorraine Iliff on June 21, 1976) and known professionally as Shelley Craft is an Australian television personality. She is most well known for her long-running presenting roles on the Seven Network programs Saturday Disney from 1996 until 2002, and The Great Outdoors from 2002 until 2007. As of 2008 she is currently working for the Nine Network on a number of programs, most notably as host of Domestic Blitz.
Television career
Channel Seven
Craft began her television career in the 1990s with a work experience stint at Channel Seven in Brisbane.[1] This led to a job offer as a production assistant on a local program,[1] and a few months later a co-host role with children's program Saturday Disney. Craft remained with Saturday Disney as host for six years. Craft joined The Great Outdoors as a reporter in late 2001 and therefore chose to leave Saturday Disney in July 2002 whilst returning on occasion up until 2005.
As well as presenting stories for The Great Outdoors, she has worked on several of Channel Seven's major sporting events, including the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney (as part of the Sunrise team), the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and the 2002, 2003 and 2004 Melbourne Cups.
Along with puppet, Agro, Craft hosted the short-lived revival of dating game show Perfect Match in 2002. In 2005, she co-hosted Australia's Guinness World Records with Grant Denyer.
After the 2007 season, Craft left The Great Outdoors after a clean-out of the show, with several other presenters also shown the door.[2]
In late 2007 it was reported that Craft could've been a possible replacement for Kate Ritchie as the co-host of It Takes Two,[2] but Craft, apparently miffed at the job offer, quit the network.[2]
Her last on-air role at the network was presenting Comedy Classics for Comic Relief with Russell Gilbert.
Channel Nine
In January 2008, Craft signed with the Nine Network [1][2], severing her long links with Seven Network. She will co-host an upcoming lifestyle series, Domestic Blitz, alongside Scott Cam.[1]
In February 2008, Shelley Craft succeeded Toni Pearen as host of Australia's Funniest Home Videos. Later in 2008, Craft did a commercial for National Tree Day.
Personal life
Craft was married to marketing expert Brett De Billinghurst Craft from 2001-2007. She has since moved from Brisbane to Melbourne with her partner Christian who is a cameraman for the Nine Network.[3]
