New Weekend Today hosts revealed

The two new faces of Weekend Today have been revealed as 60 Minutes reporters Allison Langdon and Peter Stefanovic.

Following the departure of co-hosts Tom Steinfort and Deb Knight, Nine announced that Langdon and Stefanovic will be presenting the show every Saturday and Sunday from January 20, with Jayne Azzopardi continuing as newsreader.

Steinfort, who had been co-hosting the show since early 2017, has moved to a full-time reporting role on 60 Minutes.

Knight will now be delivering the 6pm news bulletin in Sydney on Friday and Saturday nights, and also acting as a fill-in for regular weekday host Peter Overton.

It is the latest shake-up for the Today show after the sensational resignation of Lisa Wilkinson late last year.

After weeks of speculation, it was announced Today newsreader Georgie Gardner is to be Karl Stefanovic’s new co-host in 2018.

Gardner will officially start her new role later this month.
