Sonia Kruger will host Ellen DeGeneres' first official function when the US talk-show queen hits Australia next month, but it'll be a dry affair for Kruger.
The Mornings presenter will steer clear of the cocktails thanks to a new year detox.
The event, at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne, will be the welcoming party for DeGeneres who'll record segments for her show here.
Kruger admits she's anxious about the gig but won't be calming the nerves with a drink. "It makes me more nervous than the launch night of Big Brother because she is so fabulous. We all love Ellen," she says.
"I think I'm going to keep it straight, but I'd love to get a bit of groove on with Ellen.
"If I don't feel better at the end of (the detox), I am never doing it again."
With MasterChef judge George Calombaris catering, the party's food should suit Kruger's health kick, as well as DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi, who are strict vegans.
At 47, Kruger has a body most women half her age would kill for and confesses she hardly exercises.
"It's from years of dancing. I'm lucky if I walk the dog." She enjoys doing Zumba, hip-hop and jazz, but struggles to make it a regular commitment.
Kruger is back co-hosting Mornings with David Campbell on Nine from tomorrow and will again call the shots on Big Brother this year. She says Mornings is planning a more "magazine" style format for 2013.
"I think now there are a lot of opportunities for morning television to fill in the gaps. We are going to try to do a few more outside broadcasts this year. To do a bit more out of Queensland and also get down to Melbourne when the opportunity presents itself."
