Christie Hayeswill be joining the team in 2017 for the Marty, Christie and Crammy Breakfast Show.

On the addition to the show, Marty Haynes said of his new co-host, “Our listeners are going to love Christie. She’s a mother of two young boys, is real, down to earth and a little bit cheeky. I can’t wait to begin working with her.”

As an actress and former Home and Away star, this will be Christie’s first radio gig. Playing “Kirsty Sutherland” on Home and Away, she spent a total of 7 years on the show, during which time she was voted “Youth Ambassador for Australia” and nominated for a TV Week Logie award.

Collectively, Christie has worked on over 40 short films, and had appearances on MTV, Blue Water High, and ABC’s acclaimed series “Devils Dust”. Additionally, Christie is a contributing writer for Mamamia, and in the last year has featured in opinion based segments for The Morning Show and The Daily Edition.

i98FM Content Director Tony Aldridge said, “I am so thrilled that we have signed Christie Hayes. Not only is she an Illawarra girl, but already has an affinity with our audience through her 7 years on Home and Away. Christie is fun, bubbly, full of life and wow…she can talk! We are so excited to showcase such fresh radio talent in Christie and welcome her to the i98 family.”

Christie says “I’m pumped. I love radio and my favourite thing to do on the way to filming television was to listen to the radio…and sing!”

The Marty, Christie and Crammy Breakfast Show commences Monday, January 16 on i98FM.
