NAT BARR 'I CAN'T DO THIS ANY MORE'

The exhausted host wants the Sunrise team to pick up their game in order to regain their ratings glory

She's one of the most dedicated and hardworking industry, but there's stars in the mounting concern at Seven that Sunrise co-host Natalie Barr has taken on way too much, with friends of the breakfast TV veteran genuinely concerned for their "workaholic" mate.

Nat's only been in the chair for 16 months since Sam [Armytage]'s shock exit last March, yet Nat is on the precipice of burning out after becoming "exhausted from doing much of the heavy lifting, both on and off the camera", a well-placed source shares with Woman's Day.

"She's always been some sort of superwoman, and she's a perfectionist. With the industry now more cutthroat than ever, Nat knows the only way to keep Sunrise ahead of their main rival, Nine's Today, is to lift your game and work even harder," confirms the insider.
