Oh dear: Samantha Armytage has confessed to stealing, smoking weed and gossiping about her colleagues in an explosive lie-detector test
‘Oh my god. Yes, I have, not much though. Maybe a bit a uni – I didn’t like it. I can’t stop confessing!’ she said, laughing nervously.
She was then asked, ‘Is there any member of the Sunrise team that you don’t like?’ to which she answered ‘No’ – but the test saw her answer to be ‘false’.
Erupting into nervous giggles, things went from bad to worse when Armytage confessed to stealing.
‘I feel like I’m going to cry,’ she laughed. ‘Once when I was maybe eight I stole a packet of fake fingernails long red ones that stick on.

‘Mum looked into the back seat of the car, and saw them and turned the car around and made me take them back and apologise. And that is the only thing I’ve ever stolen in my life.’

The next question was ‘Have you ever gossiped about your colleagues?’ to which Samantha reluctantly answered: ‘Yes… but have they gossiped about me?’

She stumbled again when asked if she thought she was ‘the biggest star on the show’.
‘No. The Cash Cow is,’ she replied firmly – but was caught out by the test which stated that she was lying.
Her co-hosts David and Natalie also denied thinking they were the ‘biggest stars – but were found to be lying.

Koch protested, laughing: ‘Nah, I’ve been there for the longest, but not the biggest, the longest,’ while Natalie yelled: ‘That is inaccurate!’
The duo also both confessed to smoking pot, said they had never cheated on their partners and didn’t have a favourite child – with their answers coming up truthful.
They admitted they had gossiped about their colleagues and confessed they ‘spent their time talking crap’.
Eek! The test determined that Koch and Barr thought they were the ‘biggest stars’ on the show, prompting David to protest: ‘Nah, I’ve been there for the longest, but not the biggest, the longest,’ while Natalie yelled: ‘That is inaccurate!’
