BREKKIE TV’S BIGGEST FEUD HAS TAKEN A NEW TURN
NAT HITS BACK 'LEAVE ME ALONE, SAM!'

Enough is enough! The new Sunrise host Natalie Barr is beyond ready for the war of words to be over between her and Samantha Armytage.

After making a passing comment that she had never been close to Sam outside of work, Nat – who took over from Sam in March – found herself the subject of a fiery tweet from her predecessor.

Taking to Twitter, Sam, 44, suggested Nat, 53, should stop talking about her in the media.

“Look ... I’m out. Nat’s wanted the job forever and she’s finally got it,” Sam declared. “She just needs to get on and enjoy it and forget about me ... (even though I’m unforgettable).” She then ended her tweet with the hashtag “peace out”.

The pointed comments came as Nat told The Australian Women’s Weekly that she didn’t often socialise with Sam during their years working together, as they were in “different places” in their lives.

“We had vastly different lives, I guess,” the mum of two said. “We were in different places. She was hanging with her friends and I was spending time with my family.”

According to a network insider, Nat was less than impressed with Sam’s rather indulgent tweet.
