Sunrise host David Koch takes a brutal swipe at co-host Natalie Barr

Sunrise presenter David Koch lashes out at co-presenter Natalie Barr as he says ‘people in jobs like this are annoying’

Sunrise presenter David ‘Kochie’ Koch couldn’t resist taking a swing at his co-host Natalie Barr on Monday.

The 67-year-old called Natalie “annoying” when they discussed Phillip Schofield’s shock departure from This Morning with British correspondent Steve Hargrave.

Steve explained that Philip had left the show following the breakdown of his friendship with his co-presenter Holly Willoughby, which is said to have started when Phil’s brother was on trial for sexual offenses against a teenager.

Kochie then said, “In that kind of job you can supposedly annoy each other from time to time. Can not you?’

“Do you want to talk about this?” Steve said as Natalie burst into laughter.

Kochie asked Natalie, “Have you been keeping secrets from me?”

“No big ones, just the little ones. Obviously, people would annoy each other for years,” she replied.

It comes almost a week after Kochie got emotional while talking to Bride and Prejudice star Dannii Erskine about her brutal death hoax hell on Tuesday’s episode of the show.

Dannii, who was falsely reported dead last month — only to reveal she was alive a week later — went on the breakfast show to speak about the “terrible” ordeal.

She explained to Koch and his co-host Natalie Barr that her Instagram account was hacked by a stalker who posted that she had died on April 29, leaving her family traumatized.

“My poor family was inundated with so many calls. This whole experience was just awful,” she told hosts Kochie and Natalie Barr.

Kochie, 67, became emotional after hearing about Dannii’s ordeal.

“That’s scary, poor thing, thanks for clearing that up. It’s just appalling to put families in this situation,” Kochie said.

“It’s a great warning to everyone and a terrible thing to put families in this situation.”
