Tracy Grimshaw’s rumoured TV return

Tracy Grimshaw is rumoured to return to TV less than a year after her A Current Affair exit, with a "secret project" in the works with Nine, according to an insider.

The veteran presenter reportedly made a low-key entrance into the Nine offices earlier this month to meet up with their bosses and pitch some new ideas.

"They were very surprised to hear from her but excited to see what she'd been working on," the insider told Woman's Day, and added that at least one of the ideas she pitched is already in the works.

"Tracy could be back on our screens as early as 2024!" the insider said.

The TV star’s change of mind is reportedly inspired by Ally Langdon's flourishing career as the new host of A Current Affair.

"Tracy is telling friends she may have made a big mistake. She has so much time on her hands and has been watching Ally flourish, and it's made her miss the thrill of TV."

"She's started to think that maybe she isn't done after all, and she knows Nine will always welcome her back, in whichever capacity she chooses,” the insider revealed.

Ally Langdon was one of the front-runners to replace Grimshaw among other contenders including Carrie Bickmore, Deborah Knight, and Sylvia Jeffreys.

Langdon has proven that she is a worthy replacement after bringing in 1.1 million viewers in the final week of ratings season, which is 30,000 more than when Grimshaw was hosting.
