Paul Hogan’s granddaughter Mylee Hogan cuts a casual figure as she leaves Channel Seven in Sydney
Paul Hogan’s granddaughter Mylee was spotted leaving Sevens in Sydney after a week of drama following her Glenn McGrath comments.
The Sevens star, who has come under fire for pulling a prank on the breakfast show, brushed off his work concerns when he left the studio.
Mylee made a series of animated faces while talking to a friend on the phone after a busy shift as a network reporter.
Paul Hogan’s granddaughter Mylee Hogan, 30, (pictured) played down the drama of that Glenn McGarth joke as she left Channel Seven in Sydney on Sunday.
The reporter, known for her affable personality in Sydney media circles, texted a friend while taking a ferry home.
The star kept it casual in a white t-shirt and a pair of black tights along with a Rains backpack and a pair of Birkenstocks.
She was wearing a beige cardigan over her arms as she walked to the ferry.
Hogan was catapulted into the spotlight last week following a report inspired by a TikTok trend where families are shocked by falsely claiming that their favorite celebrity has died.

The reporter, known for her affable personality in Sydney media circles, chatted and texted a friend as she walked towards the pier.
The segment shocked his co-hosts who tried to get past an interview with former fast bowler McGrath, but Hogan then blurted out: “Glenn McGrath died!”
When asked about the controversy during the annual Jane McGrath High Tea and Sydney’s Allianz Stadium, Glenn confirmed that he had been in contact with Mylee.
“We’ve talked, everything is fine,” McGrath said.
Hogan this week disappeared from the flagship show’s presenters’ desk without explanation after Daily Mail Australia revealed viewer rage on Friday.
The star looked casual in a white t-shirt and a pair of black leggings along with a Rains backpack and a pair of Birkenstocks.
She returned to Sunrise on Thursday, but was demoted back to road reporter, just 13 days after the show welcomed her to the new desk position.
Hogan had only been revealed as a studio host on December 23 before her December 28 outburst.
At the time, she told co-hosts Monique Wright and Mark Beretta that she was delighted to leave her reporting role behind on the road to present the news in the studio.

‘It’s good to be here guys,’ he smiled.
“It’s a nice temperature, I know where the bathroom is, where the coffee is, it’s very comfortable.”
Outraged Sunrise fans vowed to boycott Seven’s show if Hogan stayed, calling the comment insensitive after McGrath’s wife, Jane, died in 2008 of breast cancer.

On Tuesday, Edwina Bartholomew had taken Hogan’s place as news anchor at the end of the desk, with Monique Wright moving into the spot alongside Mark Beretta.
And on Thursday, she was back on screen, but out of the studio and working as a reporter, reporting from near the Sydney Harbor Bridge on the city’s population growth.
His demotion from desk role was not mentioned on air, and Seven declined to comment when contacted by Daily Mail Australia on Thursday.
