‘Weighing up options’: Could Todd Woodbridge be set to leave Tipping Point?
As Todd and his family enter a new stage of life, an insider has said the popular Tipping Point host is thinking carefully about next steps.
Australian television could be facing a major shake-up, with rumours emerging that Tipping Point Australia host Todd Woodbridge is weighing up a potential move to the United Kingdom – a decision that could cast doubt over his long-term future with Channel 9’s hit afternoon show.
Insiders report that the 22-time Grand Slam doubles champion is considering spending extended periods in London to be closer to his son, Beau.
While the relocation may not be permanent, sources suggest the tennis legend and his wife, Natasha, are seriously contemplating a temporary lifestyle shift that would drastically reduce his availability for filming in Australia.
“Todd is incredibly close with his kids,” says an inside source. “It’s not really about walking away from Australia – it’s about making the most of an opportunity and being there to support their son. Todd has spent so much of his life travelling for tennis that being based in London wouldn’t be a completely foreign idea to him.”
Todd Woodbridge said to be ‘weighing up options’ in Europe
A potential move overseas would align naturally with Woodbridge’s deep roots in international tennis. Beyond his broadcasting success in Australia, a European base is familiar ground for the Australian icon, who spent decades on the international tennis circuit.
“Todd could easily find work on the European tennis circuit, so he’s weighing up all his options,” the insider revealed. “If he can spend more time with his son while still working, why wouldn’t he look at it? It’s a very different stage of life for him now, and he’s thinking carefully about where he wants to be.”
“Europe is obviously a fantastic base for someone with Todd’s experience,” the source noted. “There are tournaments, commentary opportunities, and plenty of people in the tennis world who know and respect him. He’s got options – and that’s what makes this decision so interesting.”
What does this mean for the future of Tipping Point?
While a permanent exit from Australian screens isn’t guaranteed, balancing a London base with a daily afternoon game show presents obvious logistical challenges. However, sources suggest a middle ground could be on the table.
“Nothing is set in stone,” the insider confirmed. “Todd could spend part of the year in London and still come back for filming. There are lots of moving pieces, and he’s looking at what makes sense professionally as well as personally.”
