Rebecca Judd quits as host of the 3pm Pick-up radio show - NEWS.com.au

After a horror year, Bec Judd has decided to quit her radio show.

The mum-of-four, 37, has announced she won’t be returning to the 3pm Pick-up with Monty Dimond and Yumi Stynes next year.

Instead, Judd will be replaced on the radio show by Kate Langbroek who is set to return to Australia after moving to Italy in 2019.

Judd has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons this year. The model, Instagram influencer and wife to ex-AFL star Chris Judd weathered several social media controversies regarding Melbourne’s coronavirus lockdown.

In September she slammed Victorian Premier “Dictator Dan” Andrews over the stage 4 lockdown keeping her cooped up in her opulent $7.3 million Brighton mansion.

“It seems Dictator Dan will be locking Victorians in our homes even longer,” she captioned one of her many Instagram sponsored posts, this one spruiking a children’s cubby house company.

Judd swiftly removed the post, but it was quick to attract criticism from Melburnians who called her “tone deaf” for complaining despite her ultra-luxurious lifestyle.

And she was later labelled “insensitive” after sporting a “Free Melbourne” T-shirt in a series of posts on her Instagram stories.

BEC JUDD’S TV CAREER OVER?

In addition to hanging up her headphones, it appears Judd could also be taking a break from TV next year.

Judd has been a host and presenter on Channel 9’s Postcards in Victoria since 2011, but the show was put on hold halfway through the year due to the pandemic and Judd hasn’t been seen on screens since.

In August, the Herald Sun wrote that Judd’s future at Channel 9 for 2021 was “in limbo”.

And there was another clue in the press release sent out by ARN (the radio network that broadcasts the 3pm Pick Up).

It said: “Bec Judd has made the decision to take a break from the media and won’t be returning to the 3pm Pick Up in 2021.”

Note it said “media” instead of radio.

KATE LANGBROEK’S RETURN

Bec Judd will replaced on the 3pm Pick-up by Kate Langbroek with the radio veteran to be heard for the first time on the show when it returns to the KIIS Network on January 27.

“After our family adventures in Italy, I’m looking forward to returning to magnificent Australia,” Langbroek said in a press release.

“I can’t wait to join the 3pm Pick-up. I’ve missed eavesdropping on conversations I can actually understand and hanging out with like-minded friends, so naturally I am beyond excited to team up with those two Aperol Spritzes, Monty and Yumi, for some afternoon fun and funniness. Which reminds me, I promise I won’t be one of those infuriating people who returns from a stint abroad with an accent and entirely new vocabulary. See you in 2021! Grazie. And ciao!”

Langbroek’s long-time radio offsider, Dave Hughes, is all but confirmed to host the 2Day FM breakfast show in Sydney next year with Ed Kavalee and Erin Molan.

The 3PM Pick-up is on the KIIS Network 3-4pm weekdays on KIIS 1065 Sydney, KIIS 101.1 Melbourne, 97.3FM Brisbane, and MIX 102.3 Adelaide
