Studio 3

Meet Tim, Ivy and Grace, three awesome new hosts joining ABC3's daily, Studio 3.
Discovered during -The Three Factor' nationwide search, these dynamic young people are ready to take on whatever Studio 3 throws at them, literally. They will co-host the show alongside current hosts James Elmer and Liv Phyland.

Tim Matthews is a chicken-schnitzel-loving joker from Sydney who likes to make people laugh. A MASSIVE soccer fan, Tim can also play the guitar, is an avid drawer of still life and has two terrifyingly difficult cowlicks which cause great hair styling grief.

'Gaining new friends and having new experiences is what I'm looking forward to most while working on Studio 3. Oh, and working on world domination...it so happens, it starts with ABC3!" said Tim.

Born in the US, Ivy Latimer is a natural comedian and was one of the top 12 finalists in the 2012 Raw Comedy Festival. As a preschooler, she thought she was a dog. Luckily for us, she moved to Newcastle when she was six, realised she was human, and is now ready to jump into her new role.

Ivy said 'I'm an exciting new glitch in the Studio 3 system so look out as I plan on showcasing my 1000 different facial expressions and creating a lot of laughs."

Last, but not least is Grace Koh. Pirouetting her way onto Studio 3 from Tasmania, Grace is a footballkicking, karate kid by day and tutu wearing ballerina by night. A tomboy at heart, Grace is a professional pizza eater who loves trying new things from windsurfing and cheerleading to singing in a choir.

'Being on Studio 3 has always been a dream for me because I had so much fun watching it as a kid. I even have a tweet from early 2013 where I stated that working on ABC3 was my -life dream' and now here I am!" said Grace.

Jan Stradling, Executive Producer of Children's Television said 'To provide the ABC3 audience with even more entertainment, we wanted to find some exciting new faces for Studio 3. The three young hosts we've discovered each have something different to offer but all have one thing in common that kids love – they're funny.

'Like James and Liv, our established Studio 3 presenters, Grace, Tim and Ivy are authentic, aspirational and happy to give anything a go. From jumping out of planes to making the whole school laugh – it's all part of the job," she said

Studio 3 is ABC3's daily entertainment show for 8-13 year-olds and is the best place to see all the new shows, celebrity interviews, music performances, crazy stunts, viewer interaction, and much, much more!
