Former broadcaster Paul Henry will return to our screens to host a new reality show.

Henry, after semi-retiring in 2016, will return to our shores to host New Zealand's version of The Traitors, airing August 7th.

He says he was only planning on coming off hiatus if the right project came along- which this project turned out to be.

"When I retired, I said I would never again do daily, weekly, or monthly stuff. Never. But if the right project comes along, I'll consider it. That's what's happened here."
