Sunrise’s Samantha Armytage reveals the truth about her ‘hatred’ for weatherman Sam Mac

They’ve been working together on Channel Seven’s Sunrise since 2016.

But on Wednesday, the show’s host Samantha Armytage revealed the truth about her ‘hatred’ for weatherman Sam Mac.

The 44-year-old shared a post to Instagram stories addressing their friendship after a concerned viewer asked Samantha why she ‘dislikes’ Sam.

‘I have a question for you. When you cross to Sam Mac for weather, it comes across that you seem to dislike him with some comments. Not sure if you are aware?,’ the viewer asked.

Samantha jokingly responded: ‘A message from one our concerned viewers… Don’t worry Danielle. I really like Sam Mac… sometimes.’

She also shared a series of hilarious photos of the pair and wrote: ‘Sam and I have a great relationship… He’s always nearby when we’re on an OB.’

Sam then responded to Samantha’s post by sharing a video to his Instagram story, and expressing his thoughts on their friendship.

‘I feel like I need to address this. One of our viewers at Sunrise wrote into the show this morning and asked the question to Sam Armytage, “Do you dislike Sam Mac?”‘ he said.

‘Sam responded to Danielle and went on to post a photo montage highlighting how close our friendship is.’

He went on to say that the pair have had many memorable moments and ‘in fact the whole Sunrise team has been one big happy family.’ 

‘But Danielle, perhaps your question should have been to me asking if I dislike Sam Armytage because the answer is yes.’

‘I know this is going to sound petty but I can’t be friends with someone who has more Instagram followers than me and again maybe I’ve overreacted here but that’s why I refused to go to her wedding,’ he joked.
