SNAPCHAT with Laura McGoldrick

My first job was . . .

waitressing at the Commodore Copthorne Hotel in Christchurch, after school and at weekends.

It taught me . . .

how to carry multiple drinks on a tray, and sometimes how to not spill any.

My big break came . . .

when I interviewed former New Zealand fast bowler Shane Bond on a kids’ show. I caught a Sky Television producer’s eye, he asked me to audition for the Cricket Show — the rest is history.

The last job I quit was . . .

the only job I have ever quit was my first radio job as a newsreader. I left to work at NZME, joining the Hauraki Breakfast with Matt and Jerry.

The most famous person I’ve ever met is . . .

Jennifer Lopez and ARod. And when I say met them I mean I sat next to them at a restaurant called Craig’s in LA. And basically just stared at them most of the night. Does that still count as meeting them?

They were . . .

beautiful and shiny. JLo checked her makeup and phone multiple times. Also, she ate with her elbows on the table. She was gorgeous though. I didn’t take a whole lot of notice of ARod. The best time I’ve had on set was . . . I had my baby girl a month before I started filming the last season of Westside ,soI was very proud when Harley and my husband would visit me on set so I could feed her and make sure I was getting enough cuddles. That was easily the best time I’ve had on set.

But the worst was . . .

rain delays — rain delays at the cricket are the worst.

My dream role would be . . .

my very own Graham Norton-style show, mixing sport with entertainment and maybe a glass of wine. Laura McGoldrick joins Sam Wallace and Toni Street, hosting The Hits Breakfast in 2019, which returns to air this Monday from 6am.
