Channel Nine star Deb Knight has expressed her shock at a common public transport habit.
The veteran reporter took to the Nine Honey website to write an opinion piece about a recent trip she took on a bus.
The journey started off well, she claimed, because it was just after the morning rush so she had plenty of seats to choose from.
But the issue came when another passenger decided to consume a particularly fragrant meal behind her.
‘A strong odour started emanating from a few seats back. It wasn’t from someone’s body, but from the hot takeaway curry that this passenger just couldn’t wait to consume,’ Deb related.
But the A Current Affair weekend host also spared a thought for the man’s fellow commuters the following day.
‘It was bad enough having to smell his lunch for the whole trip, but from the intensity of what he was eating, it would likely be worse sitting near him on the commute the next day.’
Deb continued her rant, wondering why people think ‘it’s okay to share the smell of [their] lunch with up to 100 people?’.

The TV presenter also extended her grievance to moviegoers who bring in takeaway at the cinemas.
‘Knock yourself out with sharing the smell of your popcorn or choc-top, but please eat your takeaway Thai or KFC before sitting in the confined airless space of a movie theatre. Those smells don’t go anywhere fast,’ she complained.
It comes as Deb quashed rumours that she had any involvement in the scandal surrounding Georgie Gardner’s on-set spat with a young female producer last month.
‘A strong odour started emanating from a few seats back. It wasn’t from someone’s body, but from the hot takeaway curry that this passenger just couldn’t wait to consume,’ Deb related
Gardner, 54, was reported to have slapped down a junior female producer with a crushing outburst, telling her to ‘grow up!’ during a row over scripts.
The Channel Nine rumour mill went into meltdown in September amid suggestions respected finance journalist Deborah Knight was the source of a complaint to management about Gardner’s alleged tirade.
But the A Current Affair weekend host was keen to set the record straight when Daily Mail Australia approached her about the cruel whispering campaign.
‘We actually pre-record the Saturday A Current Affair program – so I wasn’t actually there that night,’ she told Daily Mail Australia.
‘I just hope that everyone involved is doing alright.’
She added: ‘I have no knowledge of any alleged incident, and have absolutely not raised anything with Nine Management.’
The fake gossip about Knight’s alleged involvement had been circulating at Nine for days – fuelled by the fact she once co-hosted the Today show with Gardner.
