‘Deb Knight is so breathtaking and professional. Every time she comes on it’s so refreshing,’ one fan wrote on Facebook, responding to a Daily Mail Australia article about rumours Langdon is the frontrunner for the role.

Grimshaw will soon sign off from A Current Affair after 17 years hosting the popular news show
Langdon was absent from the Today show for the sixth day in a row on Thursday, fuelling rumours Nine is about to announce her move from breakfast to prime time.
Industry sources say she is the firm favourite to replace Grimshaw on A Current Affair, but it’s unclear who will be taking her spot on Today.
Nine execs are understood to be trying out different co-anchors with Karl Stefanovic, including former U.S. correspondent Amelia Adams and 60 Minutes reporter Sarah Abo.
Langdon has not been mentioned on air since the last time she hosted the show, which was on Wednesday, November 2.
