Jennifer Byrne returning to Mastermind chair

Marc Fennell stepped in for two weeks on SBS quiz.

Jennifer Byrne is returning as Mastermind host from Monday after The Feed‘s Marc Fennell stepped in for two weeks.

Byrne recently took a heavy tumble while walking her dog, resulting in a broken wrist and some injuries to her face.

“You could say I’m a bit ‘visually alarming’ at the moment, which could distract contenders”, she said. “But on the mend now and back to work very soon. Importantly, my dog Riley and I are back on good terms.”

Marc Fennell has been proving his versatility in the chair recently saying, “Stepping into Jen’s huge Mastermind chair is wildly intimidating, not least because I look like I’m sitting in a decapitated Dalek. I can’t wait to set a land speed record for how many questions I can ask contenders who are – let’s be honest – far smarter than me.”

The show has been drawing around 100,000 – 120,000 viewers in the competitive 6pm slot.
