Tom Williams (presenter)

Thomas Williams (born 16 October 1970[citation needed], in Sydney) is an Australian television personality and radio presenter.

Williams had previously been a co-host of The Daily Edition and a long-time presenter for the Seven Sport team.

Williams graduated from the Jesuit St Aloysius' College and worked as a construction worker, model and competed in surf lifesaving championships.[citation needed] One of Williams' first appearances on television was in the video clip of Melissa Tkautz's debut song "Read My Lips".[citation needed]

The turning point in Williams' life occurred in 2000, when he phoned into a radio show hosted by comic duo Merrick & Rosso. His style interested them so much that he was given a regular segment on the show, which eventually led to an on-air role as a builder on the Seven Network renovation show Room for Improvement. This was followed by a stint as a presenter on long-running travel show The Great Outdoors in mid-2001.

Williams would go on to host, present or participate in a number of programs during the 2000s for Seven. Williams appeared on a celebrity special of The Weakest Link in which he was voted off in the first round. In 2005, Williams hosted the fifth season of The Mole – The Amazing Game; however some fans called for the return of former host, Grant Bowler. With the new series, Williams brought the concept of live eliminations, from the Seven Network's Martin Place studios in Sydney.

In 2005, Williams was one of several Seven Network celebrities who starred in Dancing with the Stars. In the show's finale, Williams danced shirtless with partner Kym Johnson and he was voted the winner. During his time at The Great Outdoors and over the course of the series Williams emerged as sex symbol.

He joined Seven Sport in 2008 as a roving reporter for the 2008 Beijing Olympics and would continue in this role to date, showcasing the colour and features at other network events including the Australian Open.[citation needed] In April 2009, Williams relieved as sport presenter on Nova 969 during Merrick & Rosso with Kate Ritchie, whilst Marto was having surgery.[citation needed]

In 2010, Williams co-hosted Australia's Greatest Athlete with Mark Beretta on the Seven Network and also co-hosted No Leave, No Life with Rachel Finch. In March 2011, Williams joined Classic Rock FM presenting Saturday mornings with Kate Mac. In June 2013, Williams was announced as co-host of a new afternoon entertainment program, The Daily Edition alongside Sally Obermeder, Kris Smith and Monique Wright.[citation needed]
