‘Incredibly vain’ Sonia Kruger, 57, says she’d ‘rather have a tooth extracted’ than let her hair go gray…while praising ‘brave women’ who embrace aging naturally
Don’t expect to see Sonia Kruger with gray hair.
In a column for the Announce sunthe TV presenter, 57, said she is determined to keep her signature blonde locks.
The Voice Australia star has praised other women embracing their natural color but said it’s not something she’s open to.
Sonia said, “Huge respect to all the ladies rocking the gray. Liz Ellis, Andie MacDowell and Jamie Lee Curtis are beautiful, sexy and intelligent women. They are also much braver than me.’
“I’d rather have a tooth extraction than see my natural hair color. That may sound extreme, but I’m incredibly vain and also in denial about a lot of things.’

She went on to say that her sister Deb, a hairdresser, helped her “create the perfect beachy, biscuit blonde” to disguise her gray hair.
“It’s high maintenance though, and if you’re not related to a professional, all that salon time can be crushingly expensive, so I totally understand why many women move away from the peroxide at some point in their lives,” she said.
It comes after Sonia recently enjoyed Easter holidays in Bali with her eight-year-old daughter Maggie.
“I’d rather have a tooth extraction than see my natural hair color. That may sound extreme, but I am incredibly vain and also deny many things,” the veteran presenter wrote in a column for the Herald Sun this week.
The TV presenter was seen arriving at Denpasar airport last month holding hands with her adorable child as they prepared for a beach holiday.
The Big Brother host shares Maggie, who was born in 2015, with TV executive Craig McPherson.
She became pregnant through IVF treatment and a donor egg at age 49, after several natural pregnancies ended in miscarriage.
The TV host has been very open about her journey to parenthood, telling Stellar Magazine two years ago that she was worried about whether it would be difficult to bond with a child who wasn’t biologically hers.
“That’s the beauty of having a child in your life, whether you adopted it or got it through a surrogate, or whether it’s a foster child,” she said.
“You’re going to love them and in my case it was pretty instantaneous. She grew in my belly, so she’s part of me and I look at her and can’t imagine loving her more than I do.”
