Natalie also shut down claims she felt “overlooked” when Sam Armytage replaced Melissa as co-host of Sunrise in 2013, despite having completed the show herself.
Natalie, who replaced Sam when he stepped down in 2021, said she never thought she would be able to do the job at the time and was delighted with Sam’s appointment.
When asked about the rumors, she explained: “I remember going to dinner with the head of the show and Sam, right after she announced it, having a glass of wine and saying, ‘Regards, you’re the best person for this job.’ and I sincerely believe that.”
‘I didn’t think I was ready for the job, hands on heart, I didn’t think I could do the job at that time. I thought Sam was the best person for the job, and that was the case at the time,” he continued.
“It’s strange that no one believes you when you say things like that, because you can’t say it enough.”

Natalie admitted that she was even “hesitant” to take the hosting job when Sam left years later in 2021, and revealed that she had to be “convinced” because she was “nervous.”
“When Sam left, even then I hesitated, I don’t know if it’s something in my DNA that I had a hard time raising my hand,” he said.
‘When the boss called me and said, ‘Do you want it?’ We were talking about it and he stopped me and said, ‘It sounds like you don’t want this job.’ It sounds like you’re talking yourself out of it.
‘Something hit me and I got cold sweats and I was um-ing and ah-ing, and he said, ‘It’s okay.’ I’ve had jobs like this where I’ve been nervous and questioning myself. You can still do the job.’
‘And I thought, maybe it’s okay. Maybe I can do it. But even then they had to convince me.
