‘We’ve missed you!’ Nat cried out as the beloved cow character arrived, having last been seen in 2022. 

‘Kochie left me in a paddock – I’m back, but I can’t reveal everything right now!’ the cow held a sign reading. 

‘I have money and I can’t wait to give away. Stay tuned this week,’ the cow added.

‘Geez, you must have a wad of money, after being out in the paddock for that long,’ Matt said.

‘That’s fantastic… so you’ve got lots of money to give out,’ Natalie chimed in. 

‘The cash cow is back, yahoo — happy days,’ Matt added. 

‘Do you know how many people have written in and wanted the Cash Cow to come back? It was thousands,’ Natalie said.

Cash Cow previously offered giveaways to viewers, with a chance to win as much as $10,000.

This was normally done by viewers finding a code word and entering the competition via SMS. 

It comes after former host David ‘Kochie’ Koch announced a new career move.  

He retired as host of Sunrise to spend more time with family and pursue other interests last year.

In May, Koch was announced as the new chair of the South Australian Tourism Commission (SATC).

The Adelaide-born TV presenter will succeed chair of the commission Andrew Bullock, who has held the position since 2019.

The 68-year-old will hold the role for three years, effective from July 2, and will commute to SA from his home in Sydney. 

 He signed off from Sunrise for the very last time on June 9, 2023, after 21 years.
