Career

Jeloscek has been a reporter with Seven since 2003, working in both Adelaide and London before becoming a court reporter for Seven News in Sydney. His career began working at The Advertiser newspaper in Adelaide in 1999, working there for nearly five years.

As part of a team of four Seven journalists, Jeloscek won the prestigious Walkley Award for Television News Reporting, for a story on NSW Government support of ethanol. He was nominated for a Kennedy Award in 2014 in the category of outstanding political reporting.

In 2016 he became the first Sydney journalist to do a live cross from inside a bus.

Personal life

Jeloscek grew up in Adelaide.

He married Sally Cummine on 4 October 2015 in Killcare, New South Wales. The couple met in 2010 at NSW Parliament House.

Controversies

On 19 May 2011, Jeloscek was hung up on during a phone interview with popular shock jock Ray Hadley on Sydney radio station 2GB. Hadley took offence that Jeloscek wanted to correct something he asserted was suggested on-air before the interview began, and Hadley cut off Jeloscek mid-sentence telling his listeners:

No hang on. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Listen! Listen! Listen! Listen to me! Listen to me! Listen to me! Goodbye Lee. You seem to forget, Lee, it's the Ray Hadley morning program...

Chief of staff to then Finance Minister Greg Pearce, Jo McCafferty, was involved in an altercation with Jeloscek at a drinks function in which a "dishevelled" McCafferty called Jeloscek a "bottom feeder". The incident reportedly related to a recent Seven News story criticising Greg Pearce.
