“This is truly a ‘pinch me’ moment! I am so excited to be named host of ET Canada Weekend,” said Patel, known to viewers for her role on the weekday edition of ET Canada and hosting HGTV Canada’s Home to Win.
“I love what I do, and it has been an incredible journey to get to this point,” she added. “To be able to live my passion while breaking down barriers, I am truly grateful for this experience.”
Since joining ET Canada in 2014, Patel has delivered entertainment news and travelled the globe to interview the biggest stars in Hollywood, including Julia Roberts, Dwayne Johnson, Viola Davis, George Clooney, Helen Mirren and more.
In 2019, she was named as the face of CoverGirl Simply Ageless Collection, and continues to serve as Canada’s CoverGirl ambassador.
Dedicated to utilizing her national platform to shine a light on organizations close to her heart, she is a supporter of Pathways to Education, Children’s Wish and ONE Campaign.
Most recently, she spearheaded ET Canada‘s Help India broadcast special when India was battling the nation’s worst COVID-19 crisis, bringing together some of the biggest names in entertainment to help raise more than $135,000 for the Humanitarian Coalition’s emergency response efforts.
