The celebrity siblings are both back on morning TV, with Karl hosting the Today show, and Peter on Sky News First Edition after a two-week break following the birth of his son, Oscar. 

And while they may be competing for viewers, the brothers confess they are very much each other’s biggest fans, and often text each other while they are on air. 

We chat during the shows sometimes,” Peter revealed to The Daily Telegraph.

“We text. Sometimes it is just, ‘what are you having for breakfast?’. If we’ve got a guest on that they don’t have, that is nice. Or if he has got a guest on that is someone we might be interested in like politicians, I will ask him how it went. We chat after the show and talk a lot as you would expect.”

Thankfully, the pair don’t see each other as competition. 

“We are competing for different audiences,” new dad Peter told the publication.

“That is what is great about him being back into that world because it is the same world that I am in; news and politics which is what he does so well, and sport, and we just share our views.”

Peter even used some of his time off to catch up on his brother’s TV antics. 

“I enjoy watching Karl, he looks energised and happy to be back and I know that he is,” he said.

“They [Today] do a good show, Sunrise does a great show as well, it is a tough contest that one because they are both doing well.”

Meanwhile, Karl and his wife Jasmine Yarbrough are expecting their first child together this year. 

The couple were seen in Melbourne earlier this month as they headed out for a birthday dinner at St Kilda’s Stokehouse restaurant.

Karl lashed out recently over his divorce from ex wife Cassandra Thorburn.

Cass and Karl called it quits on their 21-year long marriage in 2018. They share three children together, Jackson, 19, Ava, 13, and River, 12.

The Today show host said he is baffled as to why their separation was “such a big deal”.

“Personally, it was a bit hard because I thought a lot of people do go through relationship difficulties and, unfortunately, for me that was in a very public way, but that’s what happens when you’re a public person,” Karl revealed to Neil Mitchell on 3AW.
