Channel Seven poaches rising TV star in coup that will send shockwaves through industry - in a devastating blow for Nine's future
Channel Seven is poised to announce it has pulled off a major coup after enticing a star to defect from Nine.
It is understood Seven had planned to unveil their latest star signing in Melbourne's Herald Sun newspaper as early as Wednesday in a move that will send shockwaves through the football-mad city, where the McGuire clan are considered media and footy royalty. Xander has been something of a celebrity in Melbourne since he was old enough to attend Collingwood football matches with his famous father more than two decades ago as well as red carpet events with mother Carla and brother Joe. The young actor went on to become a series regular as troubled teen Charlie Hoyland, the son of Carla Bonner's long-running character, Steph Scully, before deciding to follow in his father's footsteps and turn his attention to sports reporting.
