Kendall Gilding has teased that she is lining up a major TV return after shocking fans by quitting Channel Seven.
The TV presenter, 32, stepped down from the network in December 2023 after 12 years to focus on her work as a social media influencer and columnist.
The ‘radical’ move stunned her fans and Kendall then removed all traces of her former employers on social media as she embraced self-employment.
But Kendall took to Instagram on Friday to reveal that she wants to return to TV screens as she shared her career plans for 2025 in a Q&A session.
When a fan asked what her New Year’s goals are, Kendall replied: ‘I want to do more TV work this year!’
Another fan asked her whether she misses working in television, to which Kendall confessed: ‘Every day.’

Just days before Christmas, Kendall suffered a huge personal tragedy after her husband Timothy was left with a broken back following a shocking beach accident.
Tim was seriously injured after being dumped by a rough wave into a sandbar at Burleigh Beach in Queensland.
He was rushed to hospital by paramedics in a neck brace and doctors initially feared that he wouldn’t walk again, with Kendall documenting his recovery on social media.
Tim has been left in a full upper body brace after being discharged from hospital, and he is soon returning for a check-up to see how his C6 and C7 vertebrae are healing.
In an update on Friday, Kendall told how Tim has been left in discomfort from the injury and has also been suffering from a cough for four weeks.
‘He wears a full upper body brace 24/7 including for showers and sleep,’ she shared.
‘He can only sleep on his back, which is very uncomfortable and he’s also had a bad cough for four weeks, so that is severely impacting his quality of life.
‘He can’t pick up the kids, can’t drive, can’t push his beloved lawnmower. But this a season and life will return to normal!’
