Sunrise weatherman Sam Mac paid a sweet tribute to his co-star David ‘Kochie’ Koch on Monday after his shock resignation from the hit breakfast show.
Sam shared a screenshot to Instagram of the supportive words Kochie texted him in 2016, congratulating him on doing well on his first day on the job.
‘Mate, that was weather at its best. It was real, it connected with our heartland, it had charm,’ Kochie’s text began.
‘That street is the face of Australia and we don’t see it enough. Great morning, cheers, Kochie.’
He also shared a photo of his mum Loretta posing up a storm with Kochie at the 2019 Logies, where Sam was nominated for a Gold Logie.

Sam explained in the caption that receiving those supportive words from Kochie meant the world to him.
‘This was my first day! I didn’t even have the job yet. I had no idea if I fitted in or if I’d bombed spectacularly,’ he began.
‘The only piece of feedback I got that day was from the star of the show, Kochie! It may seem like a simple gesture, but in the cutthroat biz of TV, this level of support & kindness is surprisingly rare.

‘That message meant so much to me and tells you everything about Kochie’s character.’
Sam’s celebrity pals were quick to agree.
‘It is very rare… and speaks volumes’ wrote The Bachelor’s Brittany Hockley, while her co-star Matty ‘J’ Johnson posted an applause emoji.

Kochie stunned his colleagues on Monday when he announced his resignation from the hit breakfast show after 21 years.
Behind the scenes photos show his co-hosts Natalie Barr, Edwina Bartholomew and Mark Beretta overcome with emotion in between breaks in filming.
During his on air announcement, Natalie looked heartbroken when Kochie said he had spent more time with her over the past few years than with members of his own family.
He said he was leaving the hit show to focus on his own businesses and to enjoy more flexible work hours to spend time with his growing family.
