Born in Toowoomba, Queensland, to father Adrian and mother Margaret, Kruger grew up with her sister Debbie and brother Adam. Her father died in June 2015 at the age of 80 after a long battle with heart problems.<\/p>\n
While coping with the death of her father, Kruger said:<\/p>\n
\u2018Even though we all know we\u2019re not going to have our parents forever, you\u2019re still never ready for it. And even if you know it\u2019s coming, it just completely blindsides you.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Since the tender age of four, Kruger has been entertaining audiences with her Ballroom and Latin American dancing skills. She has even represented Australia at the Amateur British Ballroom Championships.<\/p>\n
Her dancing talent led her to land the coveted role of Tina Sparkle<\/em> in the\u00a0AFI Award-Winning film\u00a0Strictly Ballroom<\/em>.\u00a0She taught dance at NIDA (National Institute of Dramatic Art) for over four years.<\/p>\n
After graduating with an Arts degree from Sydney\u2019s University of Technology, Kruger began working as an entertainment reporter for Seven\u2019s morning and news show at 11 AM<\/em>. Later, she hosted numerous programs for Seven\u2019s network, including Today Tonight, Dancing with the Stars<\/em>, 10 Years Younger in 10 Days,<\/em> and Sunday Night.<\/em><\/p>\n

In 2012, Kruger moved to the Nine Network and became a part of the Big Brother journey for three years. At Nine Network, she hosted popular shows like The Voice Australia, Today Extra, <\/em>and Helloworld<\/em>.<\/p>\n
After Kruger\u2019s return to the Seven Network in 2020, CEO James Warburton praised her, saying:<\/p>\n
\u201cSonia is one of the best television talents in Australia. I speak on behalf of the entire Seven team when I say that Sonia was the one that got away.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The 5-foot-7 Kruger reportedly receives more than $1 million a year for leaving Channel Nine and joining Seven Network.<\/p>\n
