Sunrise: Sam Armytage doesn't follow David Koch or Natalie Barr on Instagram

Relations between the Sunrise panel were rumoured to be strained in the months before Sam Armytage resigned as co-anchor in March.

And it seems there may have been some truth to the speculation, as it appears Sam is no longer following current hosts David Koch and Natalie Barr on Instagram.

This is despite the fact that both David and Natalie follow her on the social media platform.

Sam, 44, still follows many of her former Channel Seven colleagues, including Kylie Gillies, Sam Mac and Edwina Bartholomew. 

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Seven for comment. 

It comes after Kochie 65, and Natalie, 53, revealed they weren’t invited to Sam’s farewell party, which took place after her last day on Sunrise on March 11. 

Gone: Sam’s still follows many of her former Seven co-workers, including Kylie Gillies and Sam Mac. However, a search for David Koch on her ‘following’ list yields no results

Not on the list: She is also not following Natalie, as shown here 

The pair were grilled about Sam’s departure on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, and they admitted weren’t even told about the shindig at Catalina in Rose Bay. 

‘We didn’t know about it and we had a postponed Christmas party the next day,’ said Koch. 

The Sydney Morning Herald reported on March 8 that Sam and Kochie’s professional relationship had hit an ‘all-time low’ in the months before her resignation.

New outlook on social media: Armytage revealed why she has unfollowed people who ‘annoy or irritate’ her on social media

Network sources claimed they barely spoke off camera, and the dynamic between them had become ‘untenable’ by early 2021.

Sam has previously said in her column for Stellar magazine she is quite selective with the people she follows on social media. 

It’s possible she isn’t following the current Sunrise hosts because she wants to move on from that chapter in her life.  

Finding the good: The former Sunrise host explained that despite all negativity on the internet, which is proliferated by social media, there is are plenty of good, kind and nice things online. For Sam, the act of unfollowing such accounts allowed her to find meaningful content
