TWO new hosts of Ballarat Carols by Candlelight<\/a> presented by Harcourts<\/a> have been announced.<\/p>\n

Glenn Ridge and Jules Zass will take on masters of ceremony duties after previous host Daryl Somers was unable to continue<\/a> in the role.<\/p>\n

President of the Carols organising committee Matt Hustwaite welcomed the new hosts.<\/p>\n

\u201cGlenn and Jules are consummate professionals and having them on board to host our event adds a layer of class and professionalism to Carols,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether it be courtesy of our talented cast, the fun of the carnival or the spectacle of the fireworks, this year\u2019s Carols is sure to be fun for the whole family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ridge is a familiar face to Ballarat, having hosted the Logie winning Kids Only<\/em> as well as Six’s Super Saturday Show<\/em> on BTV6 in the 1980s.<\/p>\n

He also hosted Melbourne\u2019s Carols by Candlelight in 1999 and had a 10-year stint at the helm of Sale of the Century<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was great to be invited to come back to my old stomping grounds in Ballarat, especially with a number of former BTV6 people working on the Carols,\u201d Ridge said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking at the line-up you can tell it\u2019s going to be a great night of entertainment, and I\u2019m looking forward to sharing this experience with Ballarat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Power FM breakfast host, Jules Zass is a well know face in Ballarat. She\u2019s just coming off another stint has ambassador for SpringFest as well hosting this year\u2019s Dancing with our Stars<\/p>\n

Ridge and Zass have move into Ballarat Carols by Candlelight hosting duties after the previously announced front man, Daryl Somers, stepped away from the role.<\/p>\n

\u201cI regret I will be unable to be with you for this year\u2019s Carols due to personal circumstances that are beyond my control,\u201d Somers said in a joint statement released with organisers.<\/p>\n

Ballarat Carols by Candlelight is set for City Oval on Sunday, 22 December from 4pm and entry is free. All money raised goes to supporting the 3BA Christmas Appeal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
