Todd Woodbridge, who was recently announced as the host of the new game show Tipping Point, looked swish in a deep blue jacket and pants and a black button-up shirt.

Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Australia about his shift from sports commentator to game show host, Todd said he looked forward to share more of his personality to the public.

‘I can’t be Bruce McAvaney when I’m doing sport or tennis [commentary], I have to be me.’

‘And that’s what I kind of tried to bring to the show – was my personality, a personality that people haven’t seen when I do a straight commentary job. This is actually bringing a bit of what I’m like on a day-to-day basis.’
