Big business is calling for the TV legend, who is farewelling primetime

- 

It was the announcement Nine executives had been dreading for years, yet Tracy Grimshaw made no secret of the fact that she's long dreamed of a life out of the spotlight.

She considered turning her back on fame when she lost her beloved mum Barbara to lung cancer in 2011, but it wasn't until she was rocked with the loss of several other important people in her life that she decided it was time to quit.

"I'm not too old. I'm just a bit tired," Tracy revealed when she made the bombshell announcement last week that she was quitting A Current Affair live on the show that she has hosted for the past 17 years.
