Sam Armytage ‘is set to release a tell-all book’ about her time on Sunrise – just three months after her tearful exit from the Seven breakfast show
She bid a tearful farewell to Channel Seven’s Sunrise in March, after eight years hosting Australia’s most-watched breakfast show.
And Sam Armytage could be reliving some of her most cherished and outrageous memories from the program, with rumours surfacing on Monday that she’s set to release a ‘tell-all book’ about her time in the TV industry.
According to New Idea, the 44-year-old has been approached by a publisher to write her own memoir, and ‘no one is exempt’ from being written about.

‘She has her sights on her next big project, which by every report will be a blockbuster tell-all book about her years at the helm of Sunrise,’ a source told the publication.
‘She has the most extraordinary memories on just about everyone at the network since the day she took over as main host from Mel [Doyle] – no one is exempt!’
The publication claims that Sam – who is now a successful podcast host – is impressed with her close pal and Sunrise weatherman Sam Mac’s book ‘Accidental Weatherman’, and wants to follow suit.

‘The whisper around the corridors is she’s planning a huge “whooshka” and will stop at nothing to spill the beans on her notoriously tough TV industry,’ the source added.
The insider claims the private star might even discuss more details her marriage to millionaire businessman Richard Lavender in the book.
Daily Mail Australia reached out to Sam’s manager Anthony Bell for further comment.
It would certainly be an interesting read from the former Seven host, who has hit headlines multiple times over the past year following a string of stinging comments on her time in the industry.

In a recent interview with Stellar, Sam said the TV industry is ‘a dangerous environment’.
‘TV isn’t a place that’s necessarily very healthy,’ she told the publication. ‘It’s full of sociopaths and narcissists – it can be a dangerous environment, let me tell you.’
She also revealed in May that she has unfollowed people who ‘annoy or irritate her’.
While she follows some of her former Channel Seven colleagues, including Kylie Gillies, Sam Mac and Edwina Bartholomew, she doesn’t follow current hosts Natalie Barr or Kochie.
