Nicky Buckley

Nicky Buckley first gained national recognition as co-host of Network 10’s dating show ‘Blind Date’ in 1991, a revival of ‘Perfect Match.’ This foundational experience led her to pursue further training in acting and voice. Her career gained significant momentum when she joined ‘Sale of the Century’ as a regular model, quickly advancing to co-host the popular game show from 1994 to 1999. During this period, she became a recognizable figure in Australian households, establishing her prominent presence in the media landscape. As co-host of ‘Sale of the Century,’ Buckley’s widespread appeal led to her selection as the face of a national advertising campaign for Suzuki in 1995.

More recently, in 2022, she co-hosted the podcast series ‘Oldie Goodie,’ which explored themes of aging and life experience. Continuing her enduring presence in Australian media, in April 2024, Buckley joined the revival of Seven Network’s popular lifestyle program ‘Melbourne Weekender.’ In January–February 2025, she participated as a celebrity contestant in the eleventh season of the highly-rated reality competition ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’, further engaging audiences across a new platform.
