About Michelle Hunziker

Michelle Yvonne Hunziker (Swiss Standard German: [miˈʃɛl ˈhʊntsɪkər], Italian: [miʃˈʃɛl ˈuntsiker]; born 24 January 1977) is a Swiss and Italian television presenter and former model. She hosted the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel alongside Hazel Brugger and Sandra Studer. As she was Eros Ramazzotti's fiancée, Hunziker was discovered by an Italian TV producer. In 1998, the Italian film director Vincenzo Verdecchi offered Hunziker her first film role in the TV series La Forza dell'Amore (Canale 5). After the first episode, Hunziker was caught in the crossfire. In 1999, TV3, the first Swiss private television station, was founded in Zürich, and Hunziker hosted a show called Cinderella, where a hair and make-up artist, as well as a styling adviser, helped both a celebrity and a viewer have a makeover.
