EXCLUSIVE: House Rules host Kyly Clarke says her four-year-old daughter is already becoming a "little TV presenter in the making"

As a self-confessed high achiever, Kyly Clarke admits that taking on her first major TV judging role was daunting.

"I was always taught if you're not a little nervous you're not serious enough about what you're doing," the House Rules High Stakes judge tells TV WEEK.

"I do have expectations on myself to be good at my job, and to give my best for the viewers, so nerves definitely kicked in at first because of that."

Kyly, 38 has the added pressure of undergoing some major life changes this year.

In February she announced she'd amicably separated from her husband, former Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke.

They now co-parent their four-year-old daughter Kelsey Lee.

But despite that personal upheaval she says, her daughter is her biggest support and champion.

"She is such a doll," Kyly says proudly.

"She's a little TV presenter in the making. She loves saying 'House Rules: High Stakes 7pm tonight' and she also loves complimenting me on my onscreen outfits."

Kyly adds that her adorable daughter has inherited her flair for interior design too!

"She's only four but she loves doll houses and when she's when playing dolls she redesigns her doll house in her own unique way," Kyly says.

Kyly says being busier than ever is helping her forge a new life for herself and her daughter.

"My work has not stopped, and I love that," she explains.

"In addition to House Rules, I'm helping my clients renovate their homes; I'm managing properties for them and also building granny flats."

"I love House Rules; it is such an exciting opportunity for me," she says.

"I firmly believe the right thing always comes your way at the right time - when you concentrate on just being true to yourself."
