The Controversial Broadcaster Could Soon Be Back on Our Screens
Watch out! Paul Henry is coming back. After dividing most of his time between his luxury home in Palm Springs, California, and enjoying the company of friends in London, the controversial TV host is back on the Pacific wave – and he’s coming this way.
He reveals he’s in “very, very early” talks with Mediaworks to again front a New Zealand television show – his first since he pretty much abandoned these shores in 2016.
“I loved being able to do TV, but I hated having to do it. They’re horrible bedfellows. Now I can do what I want, the things I genuinely have an interest in.
“I’ve said no to everything. Some people try very hard to get me to do things.
“But to be honest, I am in the very early stages of a conversation about a project that I would be very interested in doing – I still have very strong opinions. It just has to fit in with my life. I’m concerned that by not ruling it out, I’ve basically said yes!”
At 59, Paul could retire. “I more or less am retired.” But somehow, his close family is calling him back to New Zealand.
Last year he took delivery of his new super-yacht Olive – named after his late, beloved mum – and his daughters joined him sailing around the Mediterranean. His oldest daughter Lucy (31) brought her eight-week-old baby son Rei – Paul’s first grandchild – onboard in Athens to sail around the Greek Islands.
And so it is that after cavorting around the blue waters of Croatia and anchoring up off Venice’s famous Piazza San Marco – where youngest daughter Bella’s fiancé Julyon Collett (29) proposed on the bow of the yacht – he’s now sailed his way through the Panama Canal into the Pacific.
