Logie-winner, Chrissie Swan is set to leave her role as host on Channel Ten's The Circle.
The mother of two has chosen to take on a role with Melbourne radio station MIX 101.1 in order spend more time with her kids.
Swan said in a statement “I’m a mum of two little boys under 3 and I don’t want to miss a moment of them.
"The Circle is the most fun I’ve ever had at work and I will miss it like crazy but at this time of my life, with 2 kids not even old enough for kindergarten, I had to make the tough decision of family time over work. I feel VERY fortunate that I’ve been able to switch from a new love (TV) to an old love (radio) and address the gaping hole in my work/life balance.
"My new role on the MIX 101.1 breakfast program will give me the flexibility to volunteer at Kindy tuck shop, be around for story time at the library and to watch Bananas in Pyjamas in real time – all things I was simply not able to do while working on The Circle.
"The MIX 101.1 breakfast show will be incredibly fun, challenging and satisfying."
Swan won the Most Popular New Female Talent Logie this year and was nominated for two others including the Gold Logie.
