Brigitte Duclos


Brigitte Duclos (born 13 December 1964, Melbourne) is an Australian television and radio presenter.

Duclos, one of three sisters, was educated at Shelford Girls' Grammar.

In December 2007, Duclos announced that she had split with husband Michael Thomson. They have two children together.

Duclos began her media career in television in 1986 when she joined ATV-10 after finishing an Applied Science degree at the Footscray Institute of Technology.

Her major in Physical Education led to her immediate appointment as sports reporter, establishing herself as among the first female sports journalists in Australia. Specialising in tennis and golf, she covered all major tournaments, including the Australian Open in both sports.

Duclos spent two years as an on-the-road reporter for Ten Eyewitness News. She also presented weather, national news updates and, occasionally, Ten's Morning News.

Duclos returned to Network Ten in 1996 as host of 'Monday To Friday', fondly known as "No Wuckers it's Duccers" a national day time show featuring interviews, information and entertainment.

Duclos also reviewed movies on Network Ten's national Saturday morning show "Video Hits", and has established a successful career as a host and guest speaker at many business and entertainment functions and has been a regular columnist with the Herald Sun's Sunday Magazine.

She is also famous for pulling yellow cards or red cards on her co-hosts or guests when they say anything that could be construed as bad language (especially around school drop off times).

In 2006, Duclos was one of the contestants on the Network Ten special Australia's Brainiest Radio Star.

In April 1992, Duclos took on the role of morning news reader for Melbourne's Triple M radio breakfast show, The Richard Stubbs Breakfast Show, and with her fun sense of humour and natural "chatty" personality she became part of the Breakfast Show team within four months.
