Children’s TV icon doesn’t look like this anymore! Agro’s Cartoon Connection star shocks with new look
In the mid-1990s she presented the children’s programme Agro’s Cartoon Connection on Channel Seven.
But Terasa Livingstone looks completely unrecognizable in recent photos on Instagram.
The popular children’s presenter has traded in her blonde locks for a playful shade of pink, but her signature radiant smile hasn’t changed a day.
Before moving to the US in 2000, Terasa was already a regular on Australian television screens.
Terasa began her career as a travelling reporter for Agro’s Cartoon Connection and took over as co-presenter from Ann-Maree Biggar in 1995.
After her role in the long-running children’s program, Terasa was a reporter for Seven’s The Great Outdoors.
She also co-hosted the short-lived reality singing show It Takes Two and posed for men’s magazines FHM and Inside Sport.
These days, Terasa is no less busy: she works as a casting producer for America’s Got Talent and also runs her own relationship, mindset and empowerment coaching company, Eden World.

In 2014, she married Australian actor Wil Traval, who is best known as Dr. Jack Quade in the iconic hospital drama All Saints and as Will Simpson in the Netflix superhero drama Jessica Jones.
Speak with New idea This week, Terasa revealed that she and Wil were keen to move back to Australia, but there was a slight obstacle in their path.
She admitted that the couple’s beloved 14-year-old Chihuahua Ruby cannot fly in the cargo hold of a regular plane due to a heart condition and that they were looking for a “magical, generous benefactor with a jet plane.”

Terasa began her career as a roving reporter for Agro’s Cartoon Connection and took over co-hosting duties from Ann-Maree Biggar in 1995
“I can’t leave her, she’s our daughter,” Terasa told the publication.
‘Ruby and Mildred, our other dog who we sadly lost in January, were the babies Wil and I had when we found out we couldn’t have children.’
“But I miss my mom and dad, and my family, but I can’t have both.”
Speaking to the Gold Coast Bulletin In 2020, Terasa revealed that she and Wil were forced to sleep with an axe to protect themselves from the wild riots that swept Los Angeles following the George Floyd protests.
“Since Saturday night, we have been sleeping on the couch by the door as a precaution, with an axe and a crowbar in hand,” she told the publication.
In 2014, she married fellow Australian actor Wil Traval, who is best known as Dr. Jack Quade from the iconic hospital drama All Saints.
Terasa admitted to breaking curfew to film the wild scenes at her home, criticizing the situation for “overshadowing the real issue.”
“The rioters and looters came right to our doorstep. Explosions on our corner. Bats, hammers, rocks. We had to go outside with our cameras and into the streets to witness this moment and feel it for ourselves,” she wrote on social media at the time.
“The people we saw looting, vandalizing and breaking and entering were black, white, Asian, young girls and boys, Latinos… everybody.
“These guys are different. They overshadow the real problem, which is really sad.”
Speaking to New Idea, Terasa said she and Wil wanted to move back to Australia, but they couldn’t leave their beloved 14-year-old Chihuahua behind.
