It’s only been 2 days since Georgie Gardner announced her decision to leave the Today Show.
Her co-hosts Lisa Wilkinson, Karl Stefanovic, Ben Fordham and Richard Wilkins were devastated, as were her long-time breakfast-eating viewers. The newsreader said it was time she got up at a reasonable hour each day and spent time with her family. After 12 years of 2am starts, we don’t blame her.
Already, some very big names are being bandied about as possible replacements for Georgie…
Mel Doyle, whose awkward exit from rival TV show Sunrise made huge news, is apparently contender. As is Natarsha Belling, the presenter from recently axed Wake Up on Network Ten.
There are also whispers that Today Show reporter Sylvia Jeffreys could step up.
We’re told an announcement will be made in time for Georgie’s official departure from the show. But that won’t stop people speculating wildly in the meantime.
Who do you think could replace Georgie on Today? Got any good suggestions?
