Share:
Viewers have weighed in on Samantha Armytage's return to breakfast TV this week. The 48-year-old former Sunrise star made her debut on Nine's Today to a mixed response on Monday. But some fans have leapt to her defence saying that the former Seven star could help renew interest in the Channel Nine show, which regularly tails Sunrise in the ratings.

'Put Sam on Weekend Today,' posted one online critic. 'Goodness knows, that show needs help. She was at her best on Weekend Sunrise. Two days a week is the right amount of Sam,' they continued. Still, another viewer appeared to be sceptical about a permanent return to brekkie TV for Sam.

'This is purely an initiative of Nine’s head of TV to get Sam filling-in, obviously a fan and would like more where possible,' they wrote. 'But I don’t think that means they’re looking to blow up the current duo who are working well despite being number two (in the ratings) nor that Sam is interested.'.
Sam made headlines when it was announced that she joining Nine to host Bachelor spin-off The Golden Bachelor back in October. But her appearance co-hosting on Monday's Today as a summer fill-in alongside Dan Anstey has sparked much speculation that the network has bigger plans for the media veteran.
