Lise Rønne (born 1 November 1978 in Viborg) is a Danish journalist and television presenter, best known in Denmark for presenting four seasons of X Factor as well as two seasons of Dansk Melodi Grand Prix. She is best known outside Denmark for presenting the Eurovision Song Contest in 2014.
Rønne attended Viborg Katedralskole, graduating in 1997 to pursue a bachelor's degree in media studies from Aarhus University and a diploma in journalism.
Rønne began her journalistic career at the age of 22, as a production assistant on MTV in London. On returning to Denmark, she began presenting shows such as Boogie, Dagens Danmark and Ungefair on DR1 and Rundfunk on TV 2.
In 2005, Rønne was offered the chance to replace Andrea Elisabeth Rudolph as co-presenter of TV 2's Vild med dans, but rejected the offer in order to pursue a journalistic career at Danmarks Radio (DR), working for TV Avisen alongside Dagens Danmark on 1 January 2006, before joining the team behind DR1's Aftenshowet on 1 January 2007. Having worked initially as a researcher and reporter, Rønne was appointed editor of the show on 1 August 2007, and first stood in for regular presenter Louise Wolff on 3 March 2008.
She has hosted four seasons of X Factor: 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012, but announced on 8 March 2012 that the fifth series of the show in 2012 would be her last as host.
