WATCH: Sam Armytage reveals wedding details
And now the 44-year-old morning show staple has delighted fans with the exciting news that she is set to launch her very own podcast in the coming weeks.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Sam confirmed she has partnered with Stellar magazine to produce the podcast Something to Talk About with Samantha Armytage.

“BIG NEWS: I’m starting a podcast. With @stellarmag,” Sam captioned a promo for the podcast.
She continued: “A little weekly chat – similar to my columns. First one drops this Sunday.. pls tune in x #sttawsa #stellarmag more deets to come.”
Enthusiastic fans were quick to congratulate the Sunrise host, with one person writing: “How fabulous Sam, will tune in whilst creating my days away.”
Another person stated: “Love your columns Sam, looking forward to hearing this one air.”

Meanwhile, a third fan added: “Ooh I love this!! How exciting.”
Sam, who frequently pens a column for the Australian newspaper supplement, secretly tied the knot with her beau Richard on New Year’s Eve.
Despite COVID-19 restrictions throwing a spanner in the works with their plans, Sam walked down the aisle in a stunning Carla Zampatti dress in a secret ceremony in the Southern Highlands.
Shortly afterwards, the TV host returned to work on Sunrise and shared the details of her private wedding – revealing it was all a bit of a last-minute scramble.

“Three days before we decided we’d do it for New Year’s Eve,” Sam told her co-hosts.
“We did it, we got it done, it was a little bit stressful for me but Rich was very relaxed.
“It was Dad, my dad, we were all sitting around, at Christmas time as you do, having a few drinks and Dad said because of COVID and everyone’s in lockdown… Dad said ‘just do it!'” she added.
When not on the air, Sam and Richard divide their time between Sydney and the Southern Highlands, where he owns a 40-hectare property.
