Chrissie Swan to host another season of Would I Lie to You? despite low ratings

Chrissie Swan returns for another season of Would I Lie to You? despite mixed reviews and low ratings for the first season.

Channel 10’s panel show will follow the same format, with two teams trying to trick each other with elaborate stories, while studio audiences and viewers at home try to decipher facts from fiction.

Production on season one of WILTY was hit by Covid-19, meaning the network was forced to make a last minute lineup change. Ten hopes season two will live up to the show’s “full potential,” reports TV Black Box.

Shooting starts in October.

In the show, comedians and celebrity guests tell bizarre and far-fetched stories about themselves.

Some are true and some are made up by producers. The object of the game is to fool the other team.

Chrissie, who filled in for Carrie Bickmore on The Project earlier this year, has lost 90kg since the start of the Covid lockdowns.

She previously attributed her weight loss to daily walks and quitting alcohol.

But recently, she has decided to stop publicly discussing her weight loss.

“I think the reason I’m not talking about anything now is because I’ve been doing that for the past 20 years,” she told Stellar magazine in July.

“I ended up in such a toxic environment and it didn’t make me feel good. And it didn’t help me, and it didn’t help anyone else. And it just promotes interest in a woman’s body, which is irrelevant,” she added.

Chrissie briefly discussed her weight loss in an interview with The Australian Women’s Weekly earlier this year.

She said the “huge” lifestyle changes she’d made over the past 12 months had improved her life in so many ways.

“I’m not going to talk about the size of my a**e. I’m not going to tell you what I eat in a day. Because I’ve read those stories and they make me feel bad about myself,” she added.
