Logies 2018: Team behind Gold Logie nominee Grant Denyer

GRANT Denyer is relaxed about his chances of winning the Gold Logie and Most Popular Presenter at the 60th annual TV Week Logie Awards, and says Sunday will be as much about his wife.

GRANT Denyer says Sunday will be as much his wife’s night as it is his.

The 40-year-old presenter, who is up for the Gold Logie as well as Most Popular Presenter at the 60th annual TV Week Logie Awards, will be joined by partner Cheryl when he jets into the Gold Coast for the event.

Denyer, who is nominated for his work now defunct Channel 10 game show Family Feud, said owes his success to the mother of his two children Sailor, 7, Scout, 2 – who will be watching from home.

“We make a pretty good team,” he said.

“She has been instrumental in building and helping to grow my career so this would be as much hers as it would be mine if I were to win.

“It’s a rare moment for us to stop and go ‘the hard work is worth it’.”

Denyer, who is up against Amanda Keller, Andrew Winter, Jessica Marais, Rodger Corser and Tracy Grimshaw in the Gold Logie category, said the “aggressive and exhausting” days of worrying about getting to “the top of the ladder” are behind him.

“You get to a point where you realise the industry ebbs and flows and you get less panicked about things,” he said.

“It’s nice to just stop and look around and realise how lucky you are to have lasted this long.”
