The public broadcaster thanked both for their eight years of service.

“SBS would like to extend its sincere thanks to Myf and Joel for their incredible work over the years.”

“It has been a great honor to host the Eurovision Song Contest for SBS,” Myf and Joel were quoted in the statement.

‘Finding hosts who embody this is never easy, but we struck gold with Myf and Joel eight years ago and have loved working with them ever since. We wish them all the best after Eurovision.”

Clarke also suggested that the public broadcaster had selected the duo’s replacement.
