Former Sunrise presenter and podcast host Samantha Armytage has taken everyone by surprise with her latest career announcement.
After two years of covering lifestyle and entertainment news and interview guests on her Something to Talk About podcast, the TV personality has announced that she’s ending the show in the search of 'other challenges and side hustles'.
Sam made the announcement on her Instagram profile, writing, 'A little “news” from me for 2023: I’ve made a decision to farewell the Something to Talk About podcast this year. I’ve chatted and interviewed my way through the past two years... and loved every minute.'
Fans of the podcast took to the comments section, expressing their sadness at the news.
'Oh no! I love your podcast. You’ll be sorely missed in my ears. Looking forward to following your next awaiting adventure,' one fan wrote.
'Have absolutely LOVED your podcast. Funny, interesting & so engaging. Thank you for all your time & effort, it’s so appreciated,' another added.
Samantha accompanied the news with a tongue-out, microphone and dance emojis, suggesting that whatever the former TV star is planning next is sure to be a treat.
Sam also gave a special thank-you to Sarrah Le Marquand, who created and co-hosts the podcast.
'Enormous thanks to @sarrahlemarquand for the opportunity and now I wish her all the best as she continues the fabulous chat on #STTA,' Sam wrote.
Sam has certainly been living the dream, after finding love with her husband Richard Lavender, a farmer.
The private couple made a rare appearance on Channel Seven’s Farmer Wants a Wife.
'The moment I first saw Sammy I thought “there’s my girl”,' Richard said on the show.
The couple said that they were 'very lucky' to have found each other, and Sam has been only too happy to pass on her advice to the show’s hopefuls.
'In my experience, it’s really nice when you move to the country, which I did last year, for love,' Sam said.
'You’ve really got to be a team with a farmer. It’s more than just the average job in the city. It’s a lifestyle.'
As for the decision to step down from Something to Talk About, Sam said that she 'did not miss city life' since moving to the Southern Highlands with her husband following [her] departure from Sunrise in March 2021.
We wish Samantha all the best in whatever she works on next. Best of luck, Sam!
