Nikki Osborne has been announced as the new co-host for the Nova 106.9 Brisbane breakfast show, set to launch in January 2025, replacing Olympic champion Susie O’Neill who stepped down after over a decade. Osborne, a local comedian and former star of 'I’m A Celebrity', expressed her excitement, saying she has 'big flippers to fill' but is confident Brisbane will embrace her. Her co-hosts, Ash Bradnam and David 'Luttsy' Lutteral, welcomed her, highlighting her extensive experience in the entertainment industry as a strong asset for the show. O’Neill, who announced her departure with an emotional farewell, indicated she is ready to pursue new personal and professional goals as she enters a new chapter in her life.
