After nearly 15 years on breakfast television, we’re so used to waking up to Leanne’s face that we have to remind ourselves that we don’t actually know her. The powerhouse presenter with the ear-to-ear smile has such an accessible presence – that Sandra Bullock quality – that you feel like she’s your best friend, your sister, your daughter…. Leanne started at Morning Live the year Facebook launched – it’s been that long – and she’s grown up in front of our eyes. We’ve watched her career thrive as she’s interviewed icons from Madiba to Oprah, clerics from Archbishop Desmond Tutu to the Reverend Jesse Jackson, and superstars like Celine Dion and Diana Ross.
She’s effortlessly stylish and ready to perform live at 6am each weekday, but Leanne Manas – multi-award-winning TV presenter, MC and motivational speaker – is equally at home doing tuck-shop duty at her children’s school. In GH’s August issue, the Morning Live anchor shares her lessons on life, love and the art of juggling.
Watch our short, fun interview with Leanne where she answers a round of quick-fire questions about herself, her kids and the celebrity she was the most starstruck by:
