Tracy Grimshaw’s last night after seventeen years on A Current Affair has been gazumped by a viral clip of her snubbing her rumoured successor Allison Langdon.
After the show, Grimshaw was seen hugging plenty of Nine talent that were lined up and ready for an embrace. However, when Langdon went in for a hug, it appeared that Grimshaw ignored her.
Gasp!
A TikTok captured the moment, and it has now been viewed by over 400,000 times. Assumedly a few of those views can be attributed to Nine’s PR team.
@badassnewss Tracy Grimshaw has signed off ACA for the last time and also regected a hug from Today Show host – Allison Langdon on the way out 😬 bit awks. #tracygrimshaw #acurrentaffair #goodonyatrace #congratulations🎉
Of course, the alleged snub happened after only yesterday Sandilands announced on-air that he believed Langdon would be taking the gig.
Sandilands said: “Let me tell everyone it is Ally! I don’t mean to bust Channel 9’s bubble.”
To clear up rumours, Langdon made light of it this morning alongside Karl Stefanovic on Today, and Grimshaw sent the show a playful statement that read: “I’m sorry I missed you, was so overwhelmed and obviously didn’t see your petite head once Karl’s big boofhead loomed into vision. Argh, big sorry x!’’
It is the ‘x’ for me.
