But Sarah Harris and Her Other New Colleagues Aren’t Happy

- 

While Network Ten bosses hope adding Kerri-Anne Kennerley to the Studio 10 roster will save the show, behind the scenes her new co-stars are feeling unappreciated.

An insider tells New Idea that Sarah Harris and Denise Drysdale in particular are unhappy about this latest shake-up of the morning talk show, especially after Kerri-Anne slammed the program’s poor ratings as ‘shocking’ on the same day her new gig was announced.

‘Their noses are out of joint since the announcement and it’s fair to say that Kerri-Anne’s comments haven’t gone down well,’ says the insider.

‘The chat among the Studio 10 team is that Kerri-Anne will bring nothing but the wrong kind of drama to the show. She’s used to being the centre of attention with her own show, and she’s not really known in the industry as a team player. They’re also all talking about her high salary and wardrobe allowance, which is definitely more generous than anything the other presenters are getting.’

An interview with The Daily Telegraph has only increased their concern. In it, Kerri-Anne was quick to mention the ailing show’s poor ratings – which are as low as 50,000 in urban areas – noting they are ‘an issue’.
