Allison Langdon teases her VERY surprising celebrity crush at the 2025 Logie Awards
Allison Langdon left fans guessing on Sunday night after she dropped a cheeky hint about her mystery celebrity crush while walking the red carpet at the 2025 Logie Awards. The A Current Affair host, 46, was all smiles as she spoke to Daily Mail ahead of the ceremony. Langdon is nominated for the coveted Gold Logie thanks to her acclaimed work on the Nine Network's flagship current affairs program and the network's broadcast of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. When asked whether she'd rather win a Logie or win over her celebrity crush, Ally couldn't help but laugh before delivering a playful tease. 'You know what, I don't even know if I have one… but yes… but tough question,' she said with a smirk. The veteran TV presenter then went coy, refusing to name names - but dropped a bombshell hint that had onlookers buzzing. 'That's not a celebrity… I don't know if I'm gonna reveal,' she teased, before adding: 'He may be here tonight… oh, so is my husband. Allison cut a show-stopping figure on the red carpet in a strapless black velvet gown featuring a daring thigh-high split that showcased her toned legs. The figure-hugging number accentuated her trim frame, while she teamed the look with classic black pointed-toe heels and sparkling diamond drop earrings. She completed her ensemble with a silver bracelet and soft, voluminous waves framing her face, along with a glowing makeup look that featured a nude lip and defined eyes. Allison previously hit back at criticism from people who 'don't like' ACA while accepting an award at the 2024 Logie Awards. She was recognised for her hosting role earlier this year when she won the Silver Logie for Best News or Public Affairs Presenter. She beat out the ABC's David Speers and Sarah Ferguson, Channel Nine's Liz Hayes and Peter Overton, and Seven's Michael Usher to take home the esteemed gong. During her acceptance speech, Allison paid tribute to her predecessor Tracy Grimshaw and hit back at people who 'don't like' the news program. 'To Trace who I love, she's the one who always said the people who don't like our show, don't know our show,' she said. 'To Mike Munro, Ray Martin, and everyone who has been in this role, thank you.' Taking home the award in August, Allison also said she pours her 'heart and soul' into her job as she shared her pride at taking home the Silver Logie. 'When you hear all [the nominees], you definitely don't expect yours to be the one called out,' she began. 'Everything we do is with heart and soul. If a story doesn't have heart and soul, we just don't do it. 'I look at those who've sat in this chair before me, right back to my father-in-law [Mike Willesee] who started this show. 'It would be wonderful if he could have seen the family connection and where that played out.' Allison joined the Nine Network program at the start of 2023 after leaving the Today show following a three-year stint.

Iconic Channel Nine star set to make a sensational return to the Logies after boycotting the awards 16 years ago and THAT hotel room mishap
An iconic Channel Nine star will make a shock return to the Logies red carpet at The Star in Sydney on Sunday, 16 years after boycotting the awards show. Tracy Grimshaw, 65, has spent years sneaking into TV's night-of-nights through the kitchen after she was voted worst dressed in 2009. But now, her A Current Affair replacement Allison Langdon confirmed on The Kyle & Jackie O Show on Friday morning that Tracy will step out on the red carpet this year. Apart from making a brief appearance on the carpet in 2018, the journalist has stayed true to her guns and kept out of the limelight of the Logies. Tracy was burned by the impromptu fashion show in 2009 when she stepped out in a purple, diamante encrusted dress which was promptly critiqued in the media. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She revealed in 2018 she had 'loved' her outfit, which was pulled together by a Melbourne stylist, and 'felt so bad' seeing it land in a worst dressed list at the time. 'I don't pretend to be the best dressed anywhere and I just decided if this is what the red carpet is, I'm not doing it anymore,' she told Mamamia. Tracy did make a brief return to the red carpet in 2018 when she was nominated for the Gold Logie, but ultimately lost it to Grant Denyer. Now it seems Tracy will take another shot at walking the red carpet this year, though her 2009 debacle was not the only Logies mishap she has suffered. The media personality had a drunken mishap at the 1998 Logie Awards when she ended up naked and locked out of her Crowns Casino hotel room. With just a newspaper to protect her modesty, Tracy said she had stripped off to take a shower after a boozy night and confused her bathroom door with the front door. During a segment on The Today Show in 2018, the TV personality said it was 'all James Packer's fault' after the pair shared 'ten tequilas' at an after party. 'We had drunk Tequila... We had about ten and it was three in the morning,' she told hosts Karl Stefanovic, Georgie Gardner and Silvia Jeffreys. Tracy said because she'd covered her naked body with a copy of The Australian newspaper, the publication sent her a special commemorative plaque. 'The Australian sent me the framed front cover of The Australian with a little plaque saying, "To Tracy, from The Australian, the newspaper that covers all your needs."' 'I've got it on the wall in my office, it's been with me since,' she said. The TV Week Logie Awards, which are determined by public vote, will take place on Sunday, August 3 at The Star in Sydney and are broadcast live on Seven.
