Shelly Horton is 9Honey’s lifestyle presenter and columnist.
Shelly’s high school guidance counsellor said she was too opinionated and talked too much so she should tone it down. Rather than take his advice she turned it into a job description.
Now Shelly’s opinion can be heard nationally a number of times each week with regular segments on Channel Nine’s
Today, Today Extra, 3pm News and Weekend Today. She co-hosts
Talking Married a chat show dissecting
Married At First Sight.
She also hosts 9Honey's ethical dilemma video series called
Sticky Situations and features in Nine's pop culture show 20-1.
Her career highlights include 11 years reporting for ABC Radio and ABC TV, eight years as a presenter on Channel Seven, six years as a journalist at Fairfax and five years as the South Pacific correspondent for
Entertainment Tonight USA. She's been a regular for 14 years on Richard Glover's ABC Radio program. She also produces and presents controversial health web series called
Things You Can’t Talk About On TV.
On top of all of that she's a sought-after MC and runs her own media and presentation training company ShellShocked Media. Yes, she's very busy.
Her dream is to host her own chat show. She thinks The Shelly Show has a mighty fine ring to it.
