When sheโs not co-hosting the Today Show with Karl Stefanovic, Allison Langdon is co-parenting two kids with Michael Willesee Jr.
But tonight, the presenter has left her real family behind as she attends the 62nd TV WEEK Logie Awards with her Nine family.
Speaking exclusively to TV WEEK, Allison confesses that she was more than happy to leave Michael at home with the kids and give herself a โweekend awayโ to relax.
โTheyโre [Allisonโs kids] a little bit sick, hubbyโs in charge and I did the whole, โOh honey, you know, Iโm sorry. I wish I was home,โ but I donโt mean it,โ Allison says.
โIt has been so fun. I slept in this morning. No one woke me up in the middle of the night. Itโs bliss, It feels like a holiday, except Iโve gotta wear heels. But hey, I mean, if thatโs what it takes to get a weekend away.โ
The Today host also spoke about Karl Stefanovicโs nomination for the Gold Logie, attesting that โheโs got it in the bagโ.
โHeโs on air three and a half hours every morning. So you see him all the time. So, you know, he tries to pretend heโs the underdog. But I think heโs actually got an advantage because heโs on our screen every single morning.โ
The devoted co-star assures us she voted for Karl about โa million timesโ, but confesses if he doesnโt take home the Gold, sheโd love to see Hamish Blake win the honour.
โAs long as it comes back to the Nine family, weโre happy,โ Allison says.
Karl and Hamish are both nominated for the TV WEEK Gold Logie along with Home and Awayโs Ray Meagher, comedian Tom Gleeson, MasterChefโs Melissa Leong, Iโm A Celebrityโฆ Get Me Out Of Here!โs Julia Morris, and Big Brotherโs Sonia Kruger.
Speaking to TV WEEK after learning of his nomination, Karl described the accolade as โvery unexpectedโ.
โHonestly, Iโm lucky to have a job,โ Karl, 47, admitted.
โItโs a great privilege and honour to be in front of people every morning. I think when you go through a lot in life and you experience some of the things Iโve experienced and get removed from the show, you can learn lot from that.
โYou can come back and treat it [the job] with the respect that maybe you didnโt before.โ
