TV scandal explodes: What Tracy Grimshaw is hiding

The veteran star causes panic for network bosses. - by Nikki Black
  • 23 Jul 2018

Still reeling after the disappointment of losing out on the coveted Gold Logie, Tracy Grimshaw is seriously reconsidering her future career plans – and her Nine bosses are frantic.

‘It’s made her question everything – including whether she sticks with the show,’ explains an industry insider.

In fact, Tracy was so blindsided by the snub, New Idea can reveal after seeing secret files, that she took unscheduledleave from her job straight after the award ceremony so she could come to terms with the shock.

 

It couldn’t come at a worse time for the struggling network, which has had a turbulent year with Lisa Wilkinson’s shock exit and Karl Stefanovic’s embarrassing antics.

As a result, Nine execs are scrambling to keep their remaining stars happy and halt plummeting ratings.

There are also dramas at Network Ten.

Lisa Wilkinson’s arrival on The Project caused much-publicised tension among her co-presenters, while management are still trying to fix the backlash after being left red-faced by Grant Denyer’s Gold Logie win.

‘Nine and Ten are at war,’ explains the industry insider.

‘It’s become a hotbed for poaching, everyone is turning on each other and it’s anyone’s guess as to who will come out on top. The gloves are off.’

While Channel Nine is attempting to appease Tracy, 58, by giving her more control over her A Current Affair segments, they’re also preparing for the worst.

‘Of course they are worried she will walk out. When it comes down to it though, any decision about Tracy’s future will be left to Tracy.

Paps are in my street again so here's a free shot of what they're after: without make up or hair done, looking unkempt and flushed from working, preferably with #restingbitchface , work clothes covered in furkid hair, and maybe some horse snot thrown in. 👍Now the mags and websites don't have to pay to have me stalked by strange men to get this pic. I'll buy a selfie stick so next time I can give you full length, because they like those. Especially from behind. Leave it with me. 🙄

She spent a week in self-imposed exile at her property, where she dug deep to consider what her next move will be.

Meanwhile, her unexpected disappearance from work left network bosses scrambling to find a last-minute replacement for her.

‘Over her career, Tracy has always had a wonderful rapport with the public. But this time they turned their backs on her in favour of someone who hosts a now-defunct game show. You can see why she’s reeling.’

With a love for radio and a long-standing secret pact with Alan Jones to take over his role when he retires from 2GB, Tracy is looking at new opportunities.

Unsurprisingly, her bosses are now pulling out all the stops to keep her.
