Langbroek currently co-hosts the popular podcast The Buck Up with Nath Valvo after leaving her last commercial radio gig on KIIS FM The Pick Up two years ago.

I'm not doing radio at the moment but I will always love radio because it's such a natural medium for me.' In March 2023, Langbroek issued a lengthy apology after publicly exposing a gender pay gay dispute between herself and Hughes on The Project. She claimed she earned 40 per cent less than Hughesy during their time hosting Hughesy & Kate on the Hit Network for almost two decades.
Clarifying her shock admission on Instagram, Langbroek said she hadn't explained the full context of the situation due to the 'time constraints' of the Channel 10 show.

'I had already procured parity for myself, by the way, but his instincts were so honourable he offered instantly to take a pay cut,' she added.
'He also vowed that from that point on, we would always negotiate together on the show we had built together, and we did, the following year, when we moved to SCA. Knowing that we could speak freely about our negotiations, and that we were treated as true equals at our new radio network was the best.' She confessed Hughes had been 'hurt' by her comments on The Project, which is why she felt the need to clarify them.
She also said that she and Hughes weren't 'estranged' and that she was 'mortified' she had led people to believe that. Dave Hughes Sydney Share or comment on this article: 104.1 2DayFM axe Hughesy, Ed and Erin Breakfast show from lineup following dismal ratings e-mail Add comment.
