Studio 10 hosts mourn loss of ‘gorgeous’ colleague after star dies suddenly

Studio 10 hosts have paid tribute to Erin Jayne Plummer following the Channel 10 star’s sudden death late last week.

Studio 10 host Sarah Harris has paid a heartfelt tribute to fellow presenter Erin Jayne Plummer following the star’s sudden death last week.

Hosts Harris and Angela Bishop confirmed on Monday that Plummer had died “suddenly”, however her cause of death has not been revealed.

She leaves behind her husband and three young daughters.

Plummer delivered advertorial content across Australian television for more than two decades, most recently for Channel 10’s Studio 10 program.

She was described as a “gorgeous human inside and out” by Harris, who told viewers the program had “lost a little bit of sparkle” in the wake of her death.

“Over the weekend, Studio 10 lost a little bit of sparkle with our friend and advertorial host Erin Jayne passing away suddenly,” Harris said.

“For two decades, Erin Jayne has been a friendly and familiar face on Australian television, for a lot of that she’s been brightening up our mornings with her bubbly personality and megawatt smile.

She said “Erin was just a gorgeous human inside and out and if it wasn’t for TV, Erin Jayne perhaps might have had a sporting career”.

“She represented Australia in synchronised swimming and even surf life saving.

“There is no question Erin Jayne was a high achiever and certainly a gold medal mum to her three young girls.

“We’ll miss your sunshine around the studio Erin Jayne, and all of us here are sending lots of love and strength to her family.”

Bishop revealed Plummer’s career began when she was “plucked from a Sydney beach to star in an international tourism campaign”.

She was then one of the faces of Aerobics Oz Style, which was watched by 40 million people across the globe.

The fact was shared by Plummer with the program in 2016 when it hosted a special Aerobics Oz Style reunion.

Plummer also had hosting roles on MTV, Guest TV, TVSN, Totally Active TV, The Morning Show and Channel 10 Sport for the Nutri-Grain Ironman Series.

She featured in commercials for SunRice, Gatorade, Sony Wega, Razzamatazz, Australian Tourism, Allens Lollies and Subaru.

Plummer had a degree in journalism and previously worked as an editor at Horwitz magazines. During the 2000 Olympics she was the Press Information Specialist for the Sydney Organising Committee for the Olympic Games at the Aquatic Centre.

As an athlete she represented Australia in surf life saving and synchronised swimming.
