(1)I never expected that I would hear such news. (2) I never expected that I would hear about that kind of news. (3) I never expected that I would hear about news such as that. (To make your sentence even "stronger," you could say "ever" right after "would"; since you said "expected," you have to change the "will" to "would": I never expected that I would ever....)
