For the next seven years Gretel hosted the Logie Award winning Big Brother for which she received a MO Award, and during this time she also hosted TV broadcasts for The Logies, The Sydney Mardi Gras, the Sydney New Year’s Eve Concert and several Australia Day Live broadcasts.

In theatre and stage Gretel has been a producer at Sydney’s 90’s cult venue, The Harold Park Hotel, performed as the narrator in The Rocky Horror Show, and entertained the troops in the Middle-East, the Solomon Islands, East Timor and Egypt.

The author of more than twenty books, including several best-sellers sold internationally, Gretel has written for many of Australia’s leading publications, was a regular columnist with the Australian newspaper’s magazine and a weekly columnist with The Sun Herald.
