A surprising new face will be taking over the reigns at the nation’s most popular morning TV show over the holiday break.

Today hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo have started their leave for the Christmas period, along with news and entertainment presenter Brooke Boney and sports presenter Alex Cullen.

In a surprise announcement, Dr Nick Coatsworth will be will be filling-in for Stefanovic from December 26, the Australian reported on Monday.

Weekend news presenter Mia Glover will be filling in for Abo, while Emma Lawrence fills in for Cullen and Richard Wilkins for Boney.

Nine said the summer break is regularly used as a spot to “showcase new on-air presenters”.

There are reports “plenty of noses are out of joint” over the left-of field decision to put Coatsworth in the hosting seat, likely due to the fact he has never presented on the show before, only appearing frequently as the shows’ medical expert over the course of the pandemic.
Dr Coatsworth has a new show coming out next year, Do You Want to Live Forever?, which will be broadcasted on Nine.

On Monday’s show the hosts seats were filled by Today Extra hosts David Campbell and Sylvia Jeffreys, who usually take over from Today at 9am each weekday.
