Channel 9 has been in the unusual position today of not knowing if its star host will be turning up for work

Eddie McGuire has been keeping a low profile since his shock resignation as President of the Collingwood Football club amid claims of racism.

Although reports on Monday suggested the Nine Network personality would be returning to our screens tonight to host Footy Classified, TV Blackbox can reveal the network had not heard from the star as late as 1pm AEDT.

McGuire did record new episodes of Millionaire Hot Seat last week, but tonight would mark his return to a live format.

Co-Editor Kevin Perry has confirmed through official channels the Nine Network had not been given a clear indication of whether McGuire would be hosting tonight.

That certainly is a bizarre situation for the network to be in.

But since the publication of our original story McGuire and Nine have been in contact and it has been confirmed he will indeed be hosting tonight.

It’s very unusual for the network not to know at this late stage, that’s for sure.
