Ally Langdon's ACA replacement announced
Less than one year after taking over the coveted hosting role of A Current Affair, Ally Langdon's replacement has officially been announced.
Langdon is taking a well-deserved annual leave break for a few weeks, with another veteran female journalist taking the reins while she's away.
Just weeks after being axed from her role at 2GB radio, Deborah Knight will take over from Langdon while she's enjoying her leave.
Knight revealed her temporary new role on Instagram on Tuesday, writing, "In the @acurrentaffair9 hot seat for a couple of weeks while @allisonlangdon enjoys a break. Tune in!"
It's unclear how long Ally will be away, but it appears to be just for the summer holidays.
The news of Deb Knight's new role comes just days after her replacement on 2GB was announced, with Michael McLaren taking over the Afternoons program from January 15th next year.
The 38-year-old presenter told Ben Fordham on Thursday that he had "big boots to fill" but was excited to start the role.
"I am honoured to be doing it. There has been a rich and great legacy on 2GB for years and years on afternoons and most recently with Deb so it is big boots to fill," McLaren said.
"I am going to do my best."
According to The Sunday Telegraph, Knight reportedly felt "shattered" after Nine Radio informed her earlier this month that she would be axed as host after her four year stint.
Knight was told of the decision just one week before the news was broken to the public, but shared that she would not be leaving the network for good, as she will be taking up a new role as the national host of Money News.
