According to media reports Sam Armytage is set to fill in on the Today show for a stint as anchors Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo take leave.
The Sunday Telegraph suggests Armytage, who will host The Golden Bachelor for Nine in 2025, has been asked to fill-in with Clint Stanaway for a week and a half in December.
It is yet to be confirmed.
Armytage, who is known to be mates with Stefanovic, hosted Sunrise from 2013 – 2021 but was happy to leave morning television’s hours -and all its inherent press scrutiny- behind her.
She departed Seven this year after several seasons on Farmer Wants a Wife.

I really loved Sam’s recent guest appearance on Today. If she was to fill in I hope it is with Karl because as a team they would absolutely sizzle and their chemistry is off the charts. If Nine are really serious about breaky TV they would open up their wallet for Sam.
Queue for the women’s magazines to create headlines about sam wanting Sarah’s job
Not like we didn’t see Jess Rowe and Sharyn Ghidella on the Sunrise desk after their Today show years, nothing to see here. Can’t see Sam doing wonders for Today for a few days.
No idea whether this rumour pans out but if it is true, and Sam rates really well (currently Today is around 100k fewer viewers nationally), where does that leave the current (and presumably well paid) Today hosts? Sunrise have transitioned from Koch’s departure seemingly seamlessly and even during the olympics sunrise held up well.
