Just days after being unveiled as the Today Show’s newest co-host, it appears Georgie Gardner and Karl Stefanovic already have a few kinks they need to work out.
The new co-host struggled through a very awkward interview with soon-to-be colleague Karl Stefanovic while appearing on Today Extra, alongside David Campbell and Sonia Kruger.
The interview began with Sonia jokingly offering Georgie her ‘commiserations’ on the new job, as it would mean she would be working with Karl.
‘I’m a sucker for punishment’ Georgie quipped.
She then turned serious, stating: ‘Jokes aside, he is such a skilled broadcaster, devilishly handsome…’
However, the beauty couldn’t resist taking a dig at her new co-host, wisecracking: ‘Well he’s promiscuous though, he’s had quite a few sitting next to him.’
Georgie was referring to the fact that Karl has sat alongside three former female co-hosts since he began his tenure on Today in 2005.
Tracy Grimshaw, Jessica Rowe and Lisa Wilkinson have all presented the breakfast program with the 43-year-old star.
Pretending to be offended, Karl then made a face to the camera, claiming: ‘What is wrong! This is supposed to be a lovely feel good morning and you’re calling me promiscuous.’
‘Well you do the maths, there have been a few. But that’s okay,’ Georgie laughed.
