Channel 10 star Grant Denyer hints at major career change as he reveals he has been pitching new shows to other networks

Channel 10 star Grant Denyer has revealed he is ready for a major career change.

The 46-year-old Deal or No Deal presenter has confirmed he has pitched a new show to the Nine network.

However, the Gold Logie winner said he could wait years for a response from the station’s bosses before he gets the green light for the project.

The popular Dancing with the Stars winner made this confession during an interview with TV Tonight on thursday.

In a surprise revelation, Grant also said he had a series of shows lined up with “other networks” and producers besides Nine.

“I would like to do some of my own projects,” he said.

‘I’ve got something else going at Channel Nine at the moment, so hopefully something will happen there in collaboration with a production company and some ideas will be developed.’

Grant said he has messaged Adrian Swift, Head of Content, Production & Development at Nine, for updates on his project.

I keep texting him [Swift] Every now and then he’ll say, “Yeah, it’s still boiling. We still love it,” but getting them to do it is a slow game, this kind of s***.

“I’ve been told that sometimes a network can leave an idea in a drawer for five years before they bring it out. So I guess patience is the game.”

Grant also indicated that he has a few “ideas up his sleeve” and has reached out to several networks.

That came after Grant spoke openly about his health problems, claiming he was pushing himself so hard that a doctor told him he was “going to die.”

Grant was a guest on the Mental As Anyone podcast last month and said, “I was scrawny and terribly unhealthy, and the doctor said my organs were functioning at about seven percent.”

Grant also revealed that he still has a few “ideas up his sleeve” and that he has also approached several networks

“He said, ‘If you don’t do something about this in four weeks, you’re going to die.'”

“It took me two lessons to realize that I had to change my mindset and the way I was approaching life and what I thought was important before I learned the lesson. And I feel like if I hadn’t learned it the second time, it would have been fatal the third time.”

The previous two lessons for the Gold Logie winner were about breaking his back in a car accident and his diagnosis of chronic fatigue.

“I broke my back. I’m now convinced it wasn’t from jumping over seven cars with a monster truck, it was from ignoring every signal from my body to slow down,” Grant continued.

“You can’t keep up this pace and this grind and this aggressive pursuit of the next rung on the ladder, because you’re going to die. As my body was deteriorating and my mental health was deteriorating, the monster truck crash came along to put me on my ass,” he added.
