Australia’s favourite weather presenter Jane Bunn debuts her new hair

Jane Bunn has debuted her a new, shorter hairstyle. 

The 40-year-old meteorologist, known as Australia’s favourite weather presenter, showed off her shoulder-length locks on Instagram on Tuesday. 

Jane also shared her secret hack to stop viewers noticing a huge difference on screen, saying she trimmed her hair every few days to stop them ‘freaking out.’

 ‘I’m a bit excited about my new hair!’ Jane captioned the post.  

‘We changed the colour and kept cutting it every few days so no one at home got freaked out by a sudden change,’ she said, adding the hashtag ‘TV life.’

She added: ‘It takes a full team to get me not looking like I just fell out of bed.’ 

In January meanwhile, Jane’s loyal listeners were left devastated when she revealed on Twitter she was leaving her position at radio station 3AW.

She wrote: ‘I’ve just been told that after 5 years delivering Melbourne’s weather on @RossAndJohn 3AW that as of now I’m no longer required…’

In a subsequent tweet, she reassured fans they could still catch her weather reports at 4pm and 6pm on Seven News in Melbourne. 

Following the backlash, 3AW’s station manager Stephen Beers revealed the sacking had nothing to do with Jane herself but was simply a business decision.

‘Jane’s spot was a commercial agreement with Seven,’ Beers said. ‘Seven stopped paying so the spot ended.’

3AW is now owned by Nine Entertainment – Seven’s main commercial rival – following the Nine-Fairfax merger in late 2018. 

Jane is a talented meteorologist best known for presenting Melbourne’s daily weather report on Channel Seven.

She has become one of Australia’s most popular TV stars on social media thanks to her cult following among middle-aged men.

In addition to being flooded with flattering Facebook comments, one dedicated viewer even had her face tattooed on his rib cage in 2018.
