The wife of TV personality Grant Denyer has been praised for her fearless reaction to finding a deadly brown snake in her family's backyard.
The eastern brown snake is highly venomous and is responsible for about 60 per cent of human snake-bite deaths in Australia.
Grant posted a video on Instagram on Monday of his wife Chezzi shooing away the reptile with a pair of barbecue tongs while he and their three daughters, Sailor, Scout and Sunday, took shelter inside the house.

The footage shows a quick-thinking Chezzi grabbing a broom and tongs then confronting the snake, which was getting uncomfortably close to the family dog, outside their back door.
'When Mr Brown comes to visit, trust the chick who had snakes as a kid to take care of it,' a proud Grant captioned the footage on Instagram.
In the video, Grant could be heard in the background shouting, 'Do you see it, Chez? It’s coming for the stairs.'
