The Tv Star Talks Survivor, Sunday and Being a Dad

New Job, New Baby, New Series Matt's Big Year

Even without the arrival of his new bub, 2018 was shaping up to be a cracker of a year for Matt Chisholm.

Jetting off to Thailand to film the second season of Survivor New Zealand in January, the star reporter also announced a new gig as a journalist on TVNZ 1’s Sunday programme, which is an absolute dream job for the intrepid newshound.

But, speaking to the Weekly just days before welcoming his and wife Ellen’s second child last week, Matt (41) – who’s also dad to 19-month-old Bede – says that while he’s never been happier, he’s also never been more frantic!

“Look, it might seem from the outside that it’s an awesome time to be me,” Matt laughs. “But, to be honest, I don’t know how well I handle stress and, at times like these, I can feel a little pull in many different directions. It’s a really busy time, but it’s very exciting as well!

“I remember my wife saying to me earlier this year, ‘What’s your New Year’s resolution?’ And this wasn’t even an intentional play on words, but I said, ‘I just hope I can survive!’”

Matt was by Ellen’s side as she gave birth to their new addition last week, having missed Bede’s birth as he was still filming season one of Survivor NZ in Nicaragua.
