“I’ve loved and embraced every minute of my TODAY show chapter and feel humbled to have worked with so many passionate people — hosts, studio crew, cameramen and producers — who have become my great mates,” she said.

“There are few shows that are fortunate to have such an engaged audience, and I thank our viewers for inviting me into their homes day after day.

“I’m thrilled to sink my teeth into a brand new project. Opportunity often knocks when you least expect it and I’m ready to dive right in to what’s ahead of me.”

Jeffreys was brought over from the newsroom to replace the show’s former newsreader, Georgie Gardner, back in 2014.

The 32-year-old’s husband, Peter Stefanovic, revealed he was parting ways with Nine last week.

Jeffreys is rumoured to be replaced by Nine News anchor, Tracy Vo.
