'Utter nonsense': Channel Nine rubbishes claims Sylvia Jeffreys is 'mortified' to be working on A Current Affair after being dropped from Today By Erin Doyle For Daily Mail Australia Published: 02:43 BST, 1 April 2019 | Updated: 02:43 BST, 1 April 2019 Viewcomments She was one of the many heads to roll at Today, when the Channel Nine breakfast show got a complete overhaul in December. But while Sylvia Jeffreys was soon given a gig on A Current Affair, Woman's Day claimed on Monday that the 32-year-old is less than thrilled about her new role. However, Channel Nine has rubbished the allegations, claiming the magazine's report is untrue. 'Utter nonsense': Channel Nine rubbishes claims Sylvia Jeffreys is 'mortified' to be working on A Current Affair after being dropped from Today Pictured: left on ACA and right on Today) 'The claims made in Woman’s Day are utter nonsense,' a Nine spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia on Monday. An unnamed 'source' had told this week's edition of the magazine that Sylvia 'was utterly mortified when she was told she was going to ACA. The 'insider' added: 'She was like, how did it come to this? She went to that meeting fully expecting to be given a great new role or even her own show. She walked away crushed.' Moving: One of Sylvia's first assignments on ACA was an emotional story about Australian model Madeline Stuart, who has Down syndrome and needed lifesaving surgery for heart failure Following her departure from the Today show, Sylvia made a return to TV, first appearing on the primetime current affairs program in February. Her first story involved interviewing Australian model Madeline Stuart, 22, who has Down syndrome. The journalist became visibly choked up during the emotional story, as she listened to Madeline's mother recount how she had to explain to her daughter that she needed to undergo lifesaving surgery for heart failure. Getting her hands dirty: Last month, Sylvia grilled former financial adviser Gabriel Nakh as she chased him outside Darlinghurst Courthouse in Sydney In her new role, Sylvia has also been seen leaving behind the news desk to chase down criminals on the street. Last month, the reporter grilled former financial adviser Gabriel Nakhl, who was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment for engaging in dishonest conduct with investor funds, outside Darlinghurst Courthouse in Sydney. She has also enjoyed some lighter moments since starting her ACA role, scoring a one-on-one sitdown interview with Hollywood A-lister Hugh Jackman earlier this year. Sylvia was one the few Today stars to avoid being axed from the network altogether, and rumours swirled at the time that she was being groomed for a primetime gig. Who needs the Today show?
