GRANT DENYER ON FOR GOOD
When Ten announced Grant Denyer would be making a return to Family Feud for a 10-episode special later this year, it was supposed to mark his relaunch on the small screen.
But despite landing himself the job, the father-of-two, 42, has fuelled rumours he’s about to throw in the towel after a tough few years.
“I’m lucky to have a wonderful career in TV,” he wrote on Instagram. “But I’ve also been super hungry to learn a completely different skill,” he continued, telling his 158,000 followers he’s training to become a pilot. “It’s bloody rewarding hitting the books and learning a completely different craft... and it’s also just so damn dreamy playing above the clouds,” he continued.
Despite earning himself a TV WEEK Gold Logie for his Family Feud role, Grant’s career has been nothing short of tumultuous.
Following Family Feud’s axing in 2018, it was quickly followed by the dumping of his new game show, Celebrity Name Game, in 2019, before his poor-rating radio gig on 2DayFM also came to an end.
