Today Extra bids farewell to beloved reporter

Davina Smith has delivered all the latest breaking news to Today Extra viewers across the country for the last 10 years. 

In an emotional send off on Thursday, the beloved journalist became teary-eyed as she said her goodbyes on the show.

"I'm just so thankful, it's the best job in the world, we have heartbreaking stories to tell, but the team behind the scenes are extraordinary," Davina said through tears. 

"We're so lucky to sit beside incredible people, but have people in our ears and in our hearts every day who are helping so much - thank you."

Her colleague and dear friend David Campbell also had a special message for her. 

"I actually can't believe I'm doing this video," he began. 

"I just want to say that it's been a real honour to sit next to you, to work with you, I've learned so much over this period of time working with you.

"I know we've had a lot of laughs, I know we've had a lot of banter, I know you've thrown a lot of pens at me, but I also wanted to tell you how much I actually respect you, not only as a journalist, but as a person, as a human and very much so as a parent.

"You are going to be sorely missed, my friend, don't make me cry."

Davina will continue to work for Nine, but is taking on a new role as a reporter for A Current Affair in Queensland.

Her new role will give her more time to spend with her daughters, Hope and Rose and her husband mark.
