Carolyn Robinson is taking up a reporting role with Seven Sharp.

Former TV3 news presenter Carolyn Robinson is returning to television by joining TVNZ show Seven Sharp.

Robinson, quit Newshub in January, having been with the company for more than 15 years. She had worked as a presenter for the late news show Nightline, before going on to present 3News as the show's weekend anchor, and filling in for Hilary Barry on week nights.

Robinson would stand in as reporter for Matt Chisholm who is taking time out to film Survivor New Zealand, a spokesperson for TVNZ said.

"It's really exciting to be stepping into a role at Seven Sharp. The team there is fantastic and I can't wait to reunite with the show's Executive Producer, Anthony Stevens, who I worked with on 3 News for a couple of years."
