Hannah opened up to news.com.au about the career move after having just returned from a luxury escape in the US.

‘I’ve been to some of the most beautiful places around the world experiencing wild indulgence, adventure, food, art and culture all steeped in local tradition,’ she said.

‘It’s a joy to share stories like this.’

Despite the complete 180 from sport to travel, Hannah assured her fans she wasn’t turning her back on her passion for the field, but instead hoped to blend the two in the future.

‘My time with Fox Sports and Foxtel — and the opportunities I’ve enjoyed over the past decade — have further fuelled my ambition,’ she said.

She added that it felt like the perfect time to step out of her comfort zone and explore broader possibilities within the media landscape. 

It comes after a new shot was fired by Fox Sports in the broadcaster’s increasingly bitter footy war with Channel Seven.

This year, Fox is the only way footy fans across most of Australia can watch games on a Saturday for large parts of the season due to a change in the league’s broadcasting agreement.

It’s a move that has infuriated footy fans and left a big dent in Seven’s coverage, which has been bolstered by its huge investment in AFL panel shows with the likes of Kane Cornes and Caroline Wilson.

This is also the first year viewers have had the option of watching every game on Fox, with the pay TV giant’s commentators covering every match, with ratings jumping by a huge amount as a result.

Seven star Brian Taylor has been taking pot shots at Fox by reminding fans that they don’t always send their commentary crews to matches and instead have them cover the games from the studio, whereas he and his colleagues are always at the ground.

Fox recently hit back by launching an ad showing a Taylor lookalike banging on the door of a pub when he couldn’t get inside to watch footy on a Saturday.

That has crossed a line with Seven, with a staffer at the broadcaster hitting the commercial with the ‘disrespectful’ tag, according to The Age.
