'Head first into the chaos': The Project star Georgie Tunny to narrate House Hunters Australia on Channel 10
Channel 10 has confirmed The Project star Georgie Tunny has officially signed on to narrate their upcoming series House Hunters Australia.
Tunny, 34, joined The Project as a permanent host in 2022 during Ten's infamous panel shake up which saw the likes of Carrie Bickmore, Peter Helier and Tommy Little leave the program.
In a statement, Ten announced they were doubling down on Tunny for the network's highly anticipated Aussie edition of House Hunters.
House Hunters and its spin-off House Hunters International have been airing in the United States and internationally for over two decades and are known in the TV industry as one of the most cost-effective shows to make.
Each episode sees a couple inspect three possible dream homes with the viewers left to decide which house the participants chose.
'Narrated by The Project's Georgie Tunny, the stakes are high as buyers tour three homes, each offering a unique mix of pros, cons, and unexpected decisions,' the network said in a statement.
'Whether it's debating modern kitchens versus heritage charm, clashing over pools and veggie patches, or weighing city life against coastal escapes, each episode is packed with big personalities and even bigger decisions.'
While House Hunters International episodes usually take place in exotic destinations like Spain, Iceland and the Caribbean, Ten revealed that their version will feature exclusively 'Australian backdrops'.
'With stunning Australian backdrops, plenty of laughs, and the occasional wild card property that could change everything, every episode delivers the thrill of the hunt and the satisfaction of the final choice,' a spokesperson said in a statement.
The announcement comes as the network continues to rebuild and revamp its programming lineup after wielding the axe to ageing franchises like The Bachelor and The Masked Singer.
Earlier this month, the channel gave the greenlight for Sam Pang's late night show to return for a 'second run' of episodes just weeks after its debut in March.
House Hunters Australia will premiere on Sunday, 11 May at 8.20pm on 10 and 10 Play, straight after MasterChef Australia, before moving to Friday nights at 7.30pm.

We asked Nigella Lawson where she'd eat in Sydney if she had a day to roam
You'd be hard-pressed to find a bigger international fan of Sydney's and Australia's food scenes than British cookbook and TV personality Nigella Lawson. You just need to look at her Instagram account to see her enthuse about the restaurants she has visited here over the years. It's why Vivid's creative director, Gill Minervini, invited Lawson to host three dinners as part of this year's festival. Just before the 280 guests arrived for her three-course curated dinner in the reimagined Muru Giligu Tunnel in Martin Place, Good Food snared 10 minutes of her time to talk about her favourite topic: eating. You're a big advocate of Sydney's food scene. Why? I haven't eaten in every city in the world, but the reason why I love eating in Sydney is that I think the food is extraordinarily good. There are chefs who are really inspirational for me, but it's done in an informal setting. I don't mean Sydney itself, but at restaurants. What interests me is really exquisite food but [done] in a rather relaxed, unpretentious setting so it feels very inclusive … Obviously, the variety of food in Sydney is enormous, and I think that's partly because, like all port cities, there are people from so many different cultures, and that feeds into the food culture. But there's a particular sort of attitude, an Australian attitude, which is perhaps less bound by tradition so it'll allow itself to drink in and absorb many cultures, and then somehow will spin them and merge them and come up with something that is very direct, very unpretentious, very Australian, and that's fascinating.

Ex-AFL star Barry Hall stars in music video for Melbourne band Playlunch
Don't miss out on the headlines from Confidential. Followed categories will be added to My News. Former footy hard man Barry Hall has flexed his acting muscles to play a grumpy neighbour with an unhealthy sense of ownership over a parking bay in a music video for a Melbourne 'bogan funk' band. Hall plays the titular character in the wild music clip for the song 'Keith' by the band Playlunch. The song is inspired by an angry neighbour and the name 'Keith' is bestowed on the cranky resident in a nod to him being a male version of the dreaded 'Karen'. The track captures the moment battlelines are drawn in Aussie streets and a stand-off escalates over who parks where. It is the suburban territorial showdown over car spots outside homes that are free, but over which ownership is often assumed. Known as an AFL premiership player and a boxer, Hall shapes up well as an actor. His Keith character has a short fuse that is lit every time someone innocently parks in the car spot on the street outside his house. The inconvenience of not being able to park at will his white Volkswagen Amarok and steel two-wheel trailer in the public parking space, sends Keith into regular meltdowns, told in the lyrics of the song. Hall, in a blue singlet, black shorts and black wrap around shades, turns up Keith's tantrums to 11. Lyrically the song is a riot with the parking dispute described as starting 'World War III', Keith's chorus warning that he was 'about to lose the plot' and demands to 'move your sh-t heap of a car to the other f---ing side.' The song even namechecks Tracy Grimshaw and A Current Affair. Keith is the latest offering from Playlunch with some of their other songs being Station Rat, Boys and Foxtel Girl. Hall, who these days describes himself as a lover not a fighter, is married to former Hi-5 star Lauren Brant. The couple has four sons, Miller, Houston, Samson and Clay.
