There must have been moments in the past 12 months when Dancing With The Stars co-host Sonia Kruger wanted to hide away from the world and cuddle up with her beloved staffie cross, Fergie.
But even with her marriage to banker James Davies crumbling, and a drugs scandal engulfing her MIX 106.5 co-host, Todd McKenney, Sonia hid her pain.
Today, though, there is no denying her feelings. Sonia is in love with Today Tonight executive producer Craig McPherson.
“They are clearly besotted with each other,” says one friend.
The two were recently spotted on Sydney’s North Shore, walking Fergie then having a coffee.
And her TV career is also set to take her star even higher, with Sonia last night making her debut on current affairs show Sunday Night.
She will also return to co-host the 10th series of Dancing, now being cast, and has been secretly filming a new prime-time series to premiere next month, while her popular makeover show, 10 Years Younger In 10 Days, will almost certainly return later this year.
