Shock new host for Nova breakfast show announced after former star sensationally quits

As someone who has spent years immersed in the world of entertainment and comedy, I can confidently say that Nikki Osborne is a brilliant addition to Nova 106.9 Brisbane breakfast team. Her two-decade long experience as a sketch comedian, writer, and stand-up artist speaks for itself.


A shock new host for Nova FM’s Brisbane breakfast show has been announced.

It was revealed on Wednesday that the contentious comedian, Nikki Osborne, is joining the Nova 106.9 Brisbane breakfast crew as a fresh member.

In 2025, the fresh show titled Ash, Luttsy & Nikki Osborne will bring together the renowned humorist and scribe, Nikki Osborne, alongside Ash Bradnam and David ‘Luttsy’ Lutteral.

In a surprising turn of events, it’s Nikki, aged 43, who is stepping into the role previously held by Susie O’Neill, the renowned Olympic swimmer, who made headlines when she abruptly left the show during a live broadcast last month.

The star of “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” expressed that she has “large fins to follow,” alluding to Susie’s past as a swimmer, yet she feels confident that Brisbane will welcome her warmly.

She said with a grin, “Yes, I do find myself in a little bit of mischief now and then, but my big brothers, Ash and Luttsy, are always there to guide me – or should I say, steer me even more off-course!
