Jen Hawkins' contract dilemma

SHE'S proved herself a polished performer on the fashion circuit, looking catwalk-ready as she jetted back into Sydney from a national tour of duty for her retail bosses Myer this week.

But just where Jennifer Hawkins will touch down on the television tarmac next is the multi-million dollar question facing the beauty right now.

Reps for the Channel 7 favourite have been in contract negotiations with the network which made her a star, with insiders claiming a decision on her future is expected as early as next week.

While Seven gave her a start on the box, the former Miss Universe has set her sights beyond her presenting role on travel show, The Great Outdoors, rejecting the idea of moving to a similar slot on rival Channel 9's Getaway as "tacky".

Nine held preliminary talks with Hawkins' manager Sean Anderson last month before the pair are believed to have sat down to crunch numbers.
