Channel Nine star Deb Knight left disgusted by common public transport habit: ‘Why do people think it’s okay?’
Channel Nine star Deb Knight has expressed her shock at the common practice of public transport.
The veteran reporter went to the Nine Honey website to write an op-ed about a recent trip she took by bus.
The trip started well, she claimed, because it was just after the morning rush hour so she had plenty of seats to choose from.
But the problem arose when another passenger decided to eat a particularly fragrant meal behind her.
‘A few seats back a strong smell started coming. It wasn’t from anyone’s body, but from the hot takeaway curry that this passenger just couldn’t wait to consume,” Deb said.
But the A Current Affair weekend host also thought about the man’s fellow travelers the next day.
“It was bad enough having to smell his lunch the entire trip, but given the intensity of what he ate, it would probably be even worse to sit near him during the commute the next day.”
Deb continued her rant, wondering why people think it’s okay to share the scent of [their] having lunch with a maximum of 100 people?’.

The TV presenter also expressed her complaint to moviegoers who bring takeaway food to the cinemas.
‘Surprise yourself by sharing the smell of your popcorn or choc top, but please eat your takeaway Thai or KFC before sitting in the confined airless space of a cinema. Those smells aren’t going anywhere anytime soon,” she complained.
It comes as Deb quashed rumors she had any involvement in the scandal surrounding Georgie Gardner’s on-set altercation with a young female producer last month.
‘A few seats back a strong smell started coming. “It didn’t come from anyone’s body, but from the hot takeaway curry that this passenger just couldn’t wait to consume,” Deb said.
Gardner, 54, allegedly slammed a young female producer in a scathing outburst and told her to “grow up!” during an argument about scripts.
The Channel Nine rumor mill collapsed in September amid suggestions that respected financial journalist Deborah Knight was the source of a complaint to management about Gardner’s alleged tirade.
But the A Current Affair weekend host was keen to set the record straight when Ny Breaking Australia approached her about the cruel whisper campaign.
“We pre-recorded the Saturday show A Current Affair, so I wasn’t really there that night,” she told Ny Breaking Australia.
“I just hope everything goes well for everyone involved.”
She added: ‘I have no knowledge of any alleged incident and have discussed absolutely nothing with Nine Management.’
The false gossip about Knight’s alleged involvement had been circulating at Nine for days – fueled by the fact that she once co-hosted the Today show with Gardner.
