- ABC star has accelerated his resignation
- Josh Szeps made a villainous appearance on Sky News
ABC Sydney Afternoons presenter Josh Szeps has left the broadcaster prematurely after making a rogue appearance on Sky News last week.
Szeps announced his resignation during a live broadcast in November, with his last appearance on Christmas.
He made an unauthorized appearance on the Sky News program ‘Sharri’ last week before it emerged he would be leaving his role at ABC much sooner.
ABC Radio Sydney acting manager Mark Spurway informed staff by email on Monday.

‘From this week, summer programs will start with various presenters. As a late change, Josh Szeps will not host his afternoon show for the rest of the year,” it said.
“Josh will not be returning to ABC Radio Sydney in 2024 and we wish him the best in his many future endeavors.”
Instead, the 12.30pm to 3.30pm timeslot will be filled by ABC Melbourne’s Jacinta Parsons, who will host a national afternoon program until January 5.
From there, current ABC Sydney breakfast host James Valentine will take over the local show.
