FROM the Glennie School to TV screens around the globe, Toowoomba's Paige Gardiner is carving a name for herself in the entertainment world.

The 27-year-old is the host of a new children's morning show History Hunters together with friend Matthew Backer.

Rights to the show have been sold to networks in Canada, Germany and Britain, and discussions are currently under way to film season two.

Ms Gardiner finished filming the 25 episodes in September last year, and it is now into its third week of screening on 7Two.

She said the show was designed to educate and entertain kids.

"The hunters themselves are a group of kids that go in search of particular things throughout history and investigate how they made things in different historical times," she said.

"Each episode is a different period and then the hunters go and try to make their own things like aqueducts.

"It's lots of fun and we had an absolute ball filming."

Ms Gardiner is no stranger to the small screen having appeared on long-running soap Home and Away and American mini-series Deadly Women after graduating from the National Institute of Dramatic Arts.

Her success, she said, has been a long time coming, but something she has enjoyed at every turn.

"It didn't happen overnight," she said.

"The television stuff is just starting to happen now.

"Everyone always says when will we see your name in lights but it's just great to be working and earning a living from acting and I'm enjoying it."

The next project for the emerging celebrity is a comedy project along the lines of hit film Bridesmaids.

"I'm currently working on a women-in-theatre comedy project," she said.

In the meantime, you can catch Paige on History Hunters weekday mornings from 7.30am on 7Two.
