Samantha Armytage has vowed that she won’t ever return to breakfast TV after being the face of Sunrise for eight years.
The 46-year-old sat alongside David Koch from 2013 to 2021 hosting the popular breakfast news program before marrying her farmer husband Richard Lavender, 60.
The last few weeks, Sam has been promoting the new season of Farmer Wants A Wife, as she enjoys her life as a farmer’s wife.
In the midst of promoting on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, she has revealed that she won’t go back to breakfast TV because she is happy with her life.
“We found some really good farmers this year,” she said.
“The show is genuinely about these people fall in love.”
She was then put on the spot by Jackie O who said: “It doesn’t sound like you miss breakfast TV at all.”
“I don’t,” Sam bluntly replied.
“I wouldn’t want to go back and be a TV star. I quite like my life.”
When Sam famously left Sunrise she confessed there were a number of reasons for her leaving television.
“There were many, many reasons,” she told Kyle Sandilands on her podcast Something To Talk About with Samantha Armytage.
“But one of the reasons, was that I thought the fun wasn’t there anymore because anything I said – and I was the lightning rod for the show at that point – anything I said was analysed and I was getting beaten to death by the bloody Daily Mail.
“You just think, ‘Is life worth this?’”
