SEVEN STARS IN CHAOS!

Fresh faces have threatened to steal Nat and Kochie's crown

It's that time of year again when things really start to heat up in the brutal brekkie TV wars. But it seems the usual cutthroat rivalry between Today and Sunrise is not the only headache network heavyweights are facing.

According to one well-placed insider, the real battle is just beginning for Seven after loyal Sunrise fans called for regular hosts David "Kochie" Koch and Natalie Barr be sent packing, and replaced with the fun-loving summer line-up of Monique Wright, Mark "Beretts" Beretta and Eddy Bartholomew. "There's a golden rule in TV to never disappear off the small screen for too long for fear whoever is minding your spot might just get a little bit too comfortable!" our insider dishes.

"There's clearly something special about the winning combination of Beretts, Mon and Eddy that appeals to the viewers. They seem to have the ability to not take themselves too seriously, yet still deliver the hard-hitting news of the day - they're a breath of fresh air!"
