Lukich, 24, scored the coveted position last September and visited us a few months later. It is thought Bowden would satisfy Kiwis' appetite for having their own rep on E!
Bowden, 37 is a favourite of Sky Television management and has interviewed many celebrities for its movie preview channels. The idea of co-hosts echoes the US format where Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic successfully shared co-hosting duties.
Bowden declined to talk about the possibility of the role, but he and Lukich did a photo shoot for a Kiwi women's magazine, celebrating what Lukich liked about New Zealand. Bowden came second to her love of The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
