‘I really, really dislike my co-host’: Allison Langdon is left red-faced as Karl Stefanovic makes her sing Happy Birthday to Michelle Bridges live on the Today show
They’ve been co-hosting the Today show together since January.
And on Thursday, Allison Langdon was left furious after Karl Stefanovic made her sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to their celebrity guest, Michelle Bridges, live on the show.
Earlier in the show, Karl was impressed with Ally’s rendition of Bill Haley and His Comets’ hit, Rock Around The Clock.

‘You’re like the Elton John of breakfast TV!’ he told the blonde beauty, as she belted out the hit, which was being played by school kids during a weather cross.
Karl then held his hand up to Allison when they later spoke to Michelle Bridges and forced her to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to the former Biggest Loser star.
Allison started singing until she moved Karl’s hand away.

‘Just stop it, get it away! Michelle, the biggest birthday present I could do is to just stop signing and from the bottom of my heart, I hope you had a great time,’ Allison said.
She added: ‘And I really, really dislike my co-host, more than I can express right now.’
Michelle then took a cheeky swipe at Karl, saying: ‘You’re not the only one sweetheart, I’m sure!’
Karl joked: ‘You girls enjoy yourselves hey!’

Karl and Allison have been co-hosting the show together since January.
They made their debut earlier than expected to cover the Australian bushfire crisis.
Karl was famously fired from the program in December 2018 after 14 years of hosting the long-running TV show.
His departure was effective immediately, with Channel Nine’s director of news, Darren Wick, saying it was ‘time for him to step off’, as reported by The Guardian.
The announcement came shortly after his wedding to Jasmine Yarbrough, 35, amid growing scrutiny surrounding his personal life.

‘Thanks to our viewers mostly, you are what matters most. It’s been a tough time. Thanks for hanging in there,’ Karl said in a statement after the announcement of his departure.
Shortly afterwards, it was announced Deb Knight and Georgie Gardner would be assuming the roles of hosts of the breakfast TV show.
But their run was short-lived, with the series plummeting to some of its lowest ratings on record.
