Sunrise host Natalie Barr showed off her incredible figure as she plunged into an ice bath live during Tuesday’s breakfast program.

The presenter, 57, and her co-host Matt Shirvington were chatting to Australian boxer Harry Garside about using the bath for muscle recovery.

Natalie then stripped into a black swimsuit as she agreed to jump into an ice bath with the sports star.

Before getting into the water, Harry explained: ‘Ice baths are obviously exceptional for athletes. But I also think breath work in general is good to calm yourself in chaos.

‘Boxing is so chaotic. It’s so full on. You get into an ice bath and something similar and you can control yourself with a breath.’

Matt then said: ‘Well jump in guys when you’re ready. Good luck.’

After getting into the ice bath, Natalie joked that the feeling was so uncomfortable she felt like she was going into childbirth.

She continued to breath loudly before admitting: ‘I hate this.’

After getting out of the bath, Natalie explained ‘it was really cold on the legs and really hurts the legs’ before asking Harry how he felt.

‘I feel it in my feet and calves the most. I think because it’s the furthest thing from the heart so the blood circulation isn’t getting there,’ he said.

‘But honestly I feel amazing right now. I feel like I’ve had a double shot of coffee.’ 

It comes after Natalie slammed those who booed Welcome to Country at Melbourne’s Anzac Day Dawn Service last week.

Thousands of people had turned out in the city’s quiet, pre-dawn darkness on Friday to commemorate those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

But it was a group of between six and ten people whose heckles and boos during Bunurong elder Mark Brown’s Welcome to Country who cast a shadow over what was supposed to be a touching commemoration.

Natalie strongly condemned the behaviour, calling it ‘disgusting’ and saying she didn’t care if people were tired of ‘Welcome to Country’ ceremonies.

‘Save your protests.

‘We do not care what you are sick of. Today is not the day to share it.’

The small group’s voices were picked up by microphones and loudspeakers during the Welcome to Country, clearly audible to the hushed crowd and broadcast media.

‘It’s our country!’ one yelled. ‘We don’t have to be welcomed,’ screamed another.

The boos and shouts lasted the entire three minutes of the address, with Mr Brown never seeming to waver.

Victorian Governor Margaret Gardner delivered the official Anzac Day address after, which acknowledged Aboriginal Australians – prompting further boos.

‘How many more? This is s***,’ one man reportedly shouted.

A woman then shouted ‘always was, always will be’ – before the crowd erupted with applause and helped drown out the disquiet.
