Georgie Gardner Exits Channel Nine After 24 Years

has revealed that she is stepping away from Channel Nine after 24 years with the network.

Gardner announced her departure on Instagram on Friday, thanking the network for her long and varied career which she summed up as an 'enormous privilege'.

'I could not be more grateful for the range of opportunities Nine has afforded me over nearly a quarter of a century,' she said. 

'Anchoring news bulletins across the day, as well as reporting and hosting roles on virtually every news program at the Network has been incredibly satisfying and an enormous privilege.'

She continued: 'I will be forever thankful for having worked with countless colleagues, who are quite simply the best in the industry, and I am humbled by the knowledge that there are viewers who have followed my career.'

Georgie's final bulletin will be on Friday, April 17.

Elsewhere, Fiona Dear, Nine's head of news and current affairs, said the Nine News  presenter was a respected member of the Nine family.

'Her versatility as a journalist allowed her to take on reporting, hosting and presenting roles across the network,' Dear said in the email.

'But it was her nine years on the Today Show as newsreader and host that firmly established Georgie as a household name,' Dear said.

It wasn't long before Gardner's post was inundated with well wishers from her Channel Nine co-stars

'G! This is massive. Will miss sharing a dressing room with you. Congratulations on a remarkable career at 9,' wrote David Campbell.

'What!!!! Sad to see you’re leaving Nine but you’re so right.. still so much to contribute and so many more exciting adventures to be had. Good on you. Will miss our Fridays and Saturdays together,' added Belinda Russell.

'Georgie, you will be so missed! Loved working with you. Wishing you all the very best for your next chapter,' commented Natalia Cooper.

Meanwhile, Tom Steinfort opted to keep his comment short and sweet, simply referring to Gardner as an icon.

Gardner joined Channel Nine in 2002.

She left her role at Today in 2014 to spend more time with her family.
