Outlook For Great Outdoors Team Not Looking So Great, Actually

11:20AM Clem Bastow | The perma-sunny demeanour of Seven’s Great Outdoors team appears to be a front, with inner rumblings making the gossip pages as host (and, let’s face it, pretty much the best thing they’ve got going for them) Shelley Craft leaves the show, and a whole lot of worry in her wake. With only Jennifer Hawkins, and possibly Tom Williams, safe within an actual contract with the network, co-hosts Andrew Daddo and Ernie Dingo are apparently sweating. Sources claimed management have been avoiding the calls of Dingo and Daddo, anxious over the axings – a suggestion vehemently denied by the station’s spokeswoman. “Contract negotiations are private things, but that is absolutely not true,” the publicist said. It wouldn’t be the first time Seven has left its talent in the dark; as that story goes on to note, last year Laura Csortan and Di Smith caught a case of the Minnie Drivers when they realised Seven had neglected to tell them to show up to a publicity call. Rumours that Kerry Stokes once dumped a girl by sending her an invite to his wedding to someone else could not be confirmed at time of press. More »
