Lisa Wilkinson's husband Peter FitzSimons reacts to her 'getting a new job in 45 minutes'.

In one of the biggest shake-ups in Australian television, Lisa Wilkinson has announced she has had her last day at the helm of The Today Show on Channel 9.

And within an hour of announcing that today was her last day on the show, she revealed she had a new job as a co-host on The Project, alongside Waleed Aly and Carrie Bickmore.

Thanks so much to everyone for all your lovely messages. I have some more news. This statement is from @channelten. I’m absolutely thrilled. pic.twitter.com/7bN9s9TUHn

No-one was more proud of Lisa’s news than her husband of 25 years, fellow journalist and former Australian professional rugby player, Peter FitzSimons.

“That’s my Missus…Got a new job in 45 minutes!” he tweeted in reaction to the news.

That’;s my Missus.

Fans were quick to note that Lisa’s new gig meant she would finally get to have a morning lie-in.

Peter – who’s watched his wife wake up before 3am for ten years – admitted the pair were in for “a whole new life”.

Lisa will begin her new "senior hosting and editorial" role with Channel 10 in January 2018, and is likely to become the new face of the network.

Just this week, The Daily Telegraph's Annette Sharpe alleged Lisa was being paid just half of what her male co-host, Karl Stefanovic, takes home each year.

In May, when Wilkinson herself was pressed on the claims in an interview with Charlie Pickering on The Weekly, she denied she had any knowledge of Stefanovic’s pay.

From friends, family, and Lisa Wilkinson herself, here are the best photos from her second wedding. (Post continues...)

Of course, Peter wasn't the only Australian media heavyweight one who reacted to Lisa's big news: her new Project co-host Carrie Bickmore also shared her delight at welcoming Lisa onto the show.

Welcome my lovely friend @Lisa_Wilkinson ????????

Comedian Peter Hellier was also quick to congratulate Lisa, even joking that now he was even further down the list to win a Gold Logie:

Welcome to @theprojecttv @Lisa_Wilkinson!! We are thrilled to tiny bits! You’re odds on to become my third co-host to take Gold Logie!! ????????

Other TV stars and journalist also reacted to the news:

. @Lisa_Wilkinson has been a steady, consistent, highly competent, warm and delightful presence on @TheTodayShow - huge loss for them.
