They worked closely for more than a decade on The Living Room, but now Dr Chris Brown and Amanda Keller will reunite in a new show, Once In A Lifetime.
Since Dr Chris Brown made the switch from Channel Ten to Seven late 2023, the veterinarian has been booked and busy with Once In A Lifetime being his latest project.
The new series will see Chris “pushed to his limits in the pursuit of the ultimate animal encounter,” according to a Seven statement.
Once In A Lifetime was first announced during the Seven Upfronts in 2023. With the premise of inviting numerous Australian celebrities to act as Chris’ veterinary assistant – one of which, will be radio presenter Amanda Keller.
“But he will not be travelling to the furthest corners of the globe alone. In the most delicious twist, Chris will be taking the country’s most intriguing and entertaining personalities along … as his veterinary assistant.”
“This is a journey into the unknown as these unlikely duos take on the challenge of helping the world’s most iconic animals – all while hopefully not putting themselves on the menu,” the statement continued.
Amanda revealed on her WSFM breakfast show, Jonesy & Amanda that she would be flying to Africa late July to film an episode of Once In A Lifetime.
“This is a show I know that he’s wanted to do for years. I do know which country I’m going to, but I’m not allowed to say. It’s in Africa… But that’s all I know,” she revealed.
This will be Amanda and Chris’ first official time on screen together since The Living Room which was sadly axed in 2022.
As for who will temporarily take over Amanda’s radio presenter position remains unknown, but she assured her co-host Brendan ‘Jonesy’ Jones that it has been “arranged for people to come in and play with [him]” while she’s in Africa.
