ARN Chief Content Officer Duncan Campbell thanked Langbroek, Stynes and Dimond for their years of hard work.

‘Their infectious humour and relatable stories have seen 3PM Pick Up enjoy continued ratings success. We are truly sad to see them finish up,’ he said.

He added: ‘Their departure is in no way a reflection on the skills of these highly regarded presenters nor the success of the show.’
