As Today host Ally Langdon emerged last week as a favourite in the battle to host Channel Nine’s top-rating A Current Affair, no-one, least of all the remaining contenders – network sweetheart Sylvia Jeffreys, Ten’s Carrie Bickmore, and wildcard Amelia Adams – had any idea the race to the end would become so cutthroat!

“In fact, it took months from when Tracy [Grimshaw] first made the announcement that she’d be stepping away from ACA after 17 years to finally find her replacement.”
