\u201cWe just heard that you resigned from Triple M about half an hour ago. So we thought, oh, he\u2019ll do,\u201d Jeffreys, 40, joked with Aussie viewers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Anstey replied: \u201cThey were very happy to get rid of me, so I\u2019m your problem now!\u201d<\/p>\n
The Aussie media star will host Today weather from Monday to Wednesday, and co-host Weekend Today on Saturdays and Sundays alongside Alison Piotrowski and Lizzie Pearl.<\/p>\n
During Monday’s announcement, Anstey didn’t hold back when describing his relief now that he was moving away from his usual seven-day roster.<\/p>\n
![\"'Very](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/840981922e14e7720995667f9c7d6bd2.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s been the issue of contention over the last five years, so nice to downgrade that slightly just to the regular old five days a week.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brisbane-based Anstey is set to relocate to Sydney for the role next year, with his wife, Claire, and children, Halle and August, accompanying him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, when discussing his family’s reaction to the big move, Anstey revealed that his children had been quick to blab about the top-secret decision.<\/p>\n
“This news may have leaked a little bit early, and I think I know how… We told our kids, ‘We’re going to move to Sydney. It’s going to be really exciting, but you can’t tell anyone.'”<\/p>\n
“My five-year-old Augie (August), he looked at me and went, ‘I got you, Dad. This stays put. [This is] not going anywhere.'”<\/p>\n
However, the next day was “show and share” at his son’s daycare, and Anstey “forgot to give him something” for the presentation, so August improvised.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“He stood up in front of everyone and said, ‘Good morning, kindy. Me and my family are moving to Sydney. Any questions?'”<\/p>\n
Soon, the cat was out of the bag and parents were calling Anstey’s wife to confirm whether the news was true.<\/p>\n

It comes amid a massive shake-up to the Today Show’s lineup.<\/p>\n
Last month, Danika Mason, 35, shocked Today fans, revealing she would be departing the breakfast show after a year and a half in the sports presenter role.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m going on maternity leave as we probably are all aware, but I\u2019ve had to make the decision as to what I do… when I come back next year,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd obviously juggling all my NRL commitments, Today Show, and then a new baby as well, something had to give, so I\u2019ve made the pretty tough decision. When I return next year, I won\u2019t be coming back to the show.\u201d<\/p>\n She was replaced by Michael Atkinson,<\/a> who previously hosted Weekend Today.<\/p>\n Furthermore, the likes of Karl Stefanovic, Sarah Abo and Tim Davies have all left the show in the past year alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n Read related topics:Channel Nine<\/a>Today
