Lisa Wilkinson drops TV bomb shell
Today show host Lisa Wilkinson has quit the popular Channel Nine morning show after a pay dispute, to pursue a role with Channel 10's The Project from January 2018.
Wilkinson did not appear alongside host Karl Stefanovic to open the program on Tuesday morning, with Deb Knight filling in for her.
Stefanovic opened the show at 5.30am on Tuesday by acknowledging it was a "very big" day following the shock departure of his co-host after a decade.
There are rumours that her deal with Channel 10 makes her the highest paid woman on Australian TV.
What do you think? Will you miss Wilkinson on the Today show? Do you think she will fit in at The Project? Is this a sign Channel 10 will invest in quality content under CBS ownership?
I think she'll get a shock when she sees how many of her loyal followers, don't follow her to 10.
