Move over, Dickie! Meet Channel Nine's rising new star anchor who could take Richard Wilkins' job - and the ladies are already swooning
It appears that Channel Nine could have a rising star on its hands. Aspiring TV presenter Chaad Hewitt caused quite a stir recently, when he made an appearance on the Today show. After wowing Karl Stefanovic with his anchor chops in a university assignment, Chaad found himself front and centre on the Today set recently. He shared a clip of his on-air experience that saw him stepping into the rather large shoes of Nine entertainment veteran Richard Wilkins. 'Today we found an aspiring entertainment journo and if you squint he looks like a young Richard Wilkins,' Karl said on air. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. A side-by-side photo was then shown on screen, highlighting the similarities between the pair. 'Somebody needs to do the math, because my mum worked at MTV in the '90s so what's going on there?' Chaad joked, referencing Richard's stint at the music television station. 'Who's your daddy?' Karl excitedly asked, which elicited quite the laugh from the rising star. Chaad was full of gratitude for his big television break. 'WHAT AN HONOUR to share my first full day of learning as an anchor with the team @thetodayshow,' he wrote on Instagram. 'I couldn't have asked for a more special experience with the amazing team and mentors. While sharing the stage in place of Dicky, this little moment caught us all off.' Despite Chaad's anchor gig only being temporary, it seems he has struck a chord with breakfast TV viewers. Karl commented on a clip of Chaad on air with: 'Loved having you, son,' to which one viewer replied: 'He needs to be a regular.' 'Today we found an aspiring entertainment journo and if you squint he looks like a young Richard Wilkins,' Karl said on air Another chimed in with: 'Never has there been a man more suited to the screen.' 'From now on, I love watching the news,' a third swooned. It looks as though Dickie might have to start looking over his shoulder, with Chaad already a triple threat. Aside from being an aspiring entertainment reporter, Chaad is also a model, after being discovered by Gold Coast agency Reel Management in 2020, and has since worked with the likes of BOSS and Polo Ralph Lauren. According to his LinkedIn profile, Chaad is also a budding actor, having hit the stage for the Queensland Drama Academy in Flood. He also nabbed a gig as actor Stacy Clausen's stand-in for the 2023 film True Spirit. Chaad recently revealed that his Today show stint all came about thanks to a university assignment. The second-year journalism student at Bond University posted an after-class exercise to social media that attracted half a million views. After seeing the video, Karl reached out with an offer for the rising star to appear on the show. 'Karl said, 'I want to bring you on the Today show'. To be honest with you, I thought he was joking… I didn't think he was being serious.' Turns out Karl was deadly serious with Chaad adding: 'Karl actually said, 'you can be the anchor!' In a matter of about two hours, they had everything sorted.' He also revealed that his Today cameo did the trick with the network, with Nine keen to stay in touch.

Wimbledon briefing: Day three recap and order of play for day of the Jacks
And Thursday promises more memorable moments for the Britons as Dan Evans enjoys a dream meeting with Novak Djokovic on Centre Court while Britain's two Jacks – fourth seed Draper and debutant Pinnington Jones – have eyes on the third round. Here, the PA news agency looks back at Wednesday's action and previews day four of the Championships. Emma Raducanu set up a blockbuster clash against world number one Aryna Sabalenka by easing past 2023 champion Marketa Vondrousova 6-3 6-3. The British number one said: 'You want to play the best. You are going to have to play them at some point if you want to win one of these tournaments. 'Of course, Aryna is number one in the world. I know it's going to be a massive challenge. I'm going to have to play some really good tennis.' Her victory came after British number threes Sonay Kartal and Cameron Norrie both impressively reached the third round. Oliver Tarvet said he lived the 'most special day of my life' in his straight-sets defeat to Carlos Alcaraz on Centre Court. The British qualifier, ranked 733 in the world, broke the two-time Wimbledon champion's serve twice in an encouraging showing. And he certainly impressed his opponent, who said on court 'I just love his game', before adding in his press conference: 'If he keeps working hard, if he keeps practising hard and playing in a professional level, I think he can go far.' A post shared by @jackdraper Jack Draper faces a tricky second-round clash with former runner-up Marin Cilic. The Croatian reached the final back in 2017, three years after winning the US Open, and has struggled with a knee problem in recent seasons, but he is now fit again and won the warm-up event in Nottingham. Draper said: 'Unbelievable career, amazing player. Anyone who wins a Challenger on the grass before coming here, they're feeling good on the grass. So it's going to be a really tough challenge. I'm ready for that.' Dan Evans takes on seven-time champion Novak Djokovic in the opening match on Centre Court, Jack Pinnington Jones faces Italian 22nd seed Flavio Cobolli, while fellow wild card Arthur Fery will complete his match against Luciano Darderi after bad light suspended play with the Italian two sets up. Dan Evans kicks off the action on Centre Court in some style – with a second career meeting with Novak Djokovic. Evans, 35, won that previous meeting – on the clay at the 2021 Monte Carlo Masters – so is putting an unbeaten record on the line against the 38-year-old seven-time Wimbledon champion. 'I think when they do the stats, it has to be over, like, three matches to have a 100 per cent record,' Evans said. 'So we'll say I have a decent record! 'This is his best surface. It's going to be a tough match. But when I play the top guys, I don't change much about myself. It's not about them, it's about me. We're both competing for the same goal.'
