Veteran Channel Seven presenter hints at her future after taking ‘radical step’ away from network after 12 years

Veteran Channel Seven presenter Kendall Gilding has hinted at her next steps after announcing she would be leaving the network after 12 years.

The newsreader, 32, shared a montage of photos of her at work to Instagram on Tuesday and captioned it with some informative words.

‘This Friday will be my final day. I’m reading the 6pm news all week. Praying this isn’t a moment of insanity, but rather a radical step of bravery,’ she began.

Kendall then quashed rumours she was stepping away from the role to become a full-time mother.

‘I’m not becoming a stay at home mum, I don’t plan on leaving media. I’m looking forward to a huge 2024 – ready to work harder than ever! Stay tuned,’ she added.

‘Unbelievable talent destined for the top. Can’t wait to see what you do,’ added radio host Mel Greig.

Earlier this month, it was reported that Kendall won’t be continuing behind the Queensland news desk ‘after failing to come to terms on a new contract’ according to TV Blackbox.

The exit is not the result of a redundancy, according to the website.

Kendall is well-known to Queensland viewers, hosting the 4pm News bulletin each weekday.

She began her journalism career in 2011 as a presenter on Brisbane radio station 96five Family Radio and later that year she began working for Seven.

In October 2022 the TV star delivered her son, named Moses Morgan, in the shower at Mater Mother’s Hospital in South Brisbane, with her husband Tim Morgan catching the tot as he exited the birth canal.

‘I only had a three hour active labour which is awesome and he was born in the shower and Tim was able to catch him,’ she told The Courier Mail.

The couple, who previously struggled with fertility issues, announced the exciting news via Instagram, sharing a heart-melting photo with their bundle of joy.
