The former Sunrise host also opened up about what she would say to her 10-year-old self and her biggest fears in a candid interview with the daily telegraph.

Speaking about the last time he cried, he revealed: “We had to put down one of our most promising and sweet-natured racehorses last week, after he broke his leg in an accident.” I sobbed in the paddock.

In the revealing chat, Sam also added that she is afraid of ‘pets’ because they ‘scare’ her and that she has a recurring dream where she jumps. from a diving board to a swimming pool pool and mid-dive he looks down and the pool is empty.

Revealing what advice she would give her 10-year-old self, she added: “People who are mean to you throughout life are usually jealous of who you are and what you have.”

No one saw this coming, least of all Nat. She didn’t know the full extent of the role changes until recently, it was a bolt from the blue! a source told New Idea.

“Sam has sold herself as the better choice because she maintains that she’s married to a farmer, grew up on a farm, and is therefore more relatable.”

The source added that while Gruzlewski remains committed to the show through all of 2023, the host shakeup could mean she may not return next year.

Sam has been living in the country with her husband Richard Lavender for the past few years.

The former Sunrise host admitted in a recent interview that she and her husband preferred a quieter lifestyle these days.

She married Richard, 61, on New Year’s Eve 2020 at their Southern Highlands home.
