Career
In 1991, Buckley co-hosted a revival of Network 10 dating show Perfect Match called Blind Date with Greg Evans.[2][3] After six months in the role, Buckley was replaced by Ankie Nordberg.[4] In 2025, Buckley claimed she was "shattered" and "embarrassed" when she lost the job on Blind Date which prompted her to have acting and voice lessons.[4]
In late 1991, Buckley starred in an adaption of Jerome McDonough's play Juvie.[5]
At the end of 1993, five Sale of the Century models were given a chance to co-host in the final week with Buckley being the successful candidate.[6][7]
After commencing her role on Sale of the Century in 1994, Buckley guest starred on the Nine Network sitcom The Bob Morrison Show.[8]
In October 1995, Buckley became the face of a national advertising campaign for Suzuki.[9][10]
In 1997, Buckley prompted a national debate relating to her continuing to co-host Sale of the Century while heavily pregnant.[11][12][13]
In December 1999, it was confirmed the Nine Network had decided not to renew Buckley's contract and would therefore not return to the show in 2000.[14] She was succeeded by Karina Brown.
