Australian morning show host Natalie Barr called Meghan Markle a “tosser” live on air following the duchesses’ recent tell-all interview.
“I couldn't even stomach getting through the whole article,” Barr, who is reportedly known for her candour, told her cohost David Koch.
“I think in Australia we’d say she’s just full of it. She’s a tosser. She’s a total tosser,” she continued.
“That’s how we would describe her. I just can’t… the way she speaks.”
Another host on the show, Edwina Bartholomew, suggested more sympathetically: “I think she has a very different narrative, perhaps, in the US to what is being accepted in the UK.”
Barr responded: “Or just everywhere in the world!” as Koch interjected: “That’s Eddie’s code for tosser!”

From the advertising dollars to the ratings rivalry – television’s earliest timeslot is big business. Brooke Hemphill sets her alarm and goes on set to find out the perfect recipe for making breakfast TV.
It’s after midnight on a Thursday evening in Sydney’s Cbd. The streets are largely deserted as the final day of the working week looms. While the nine to five set are safely tucked up in bed, in the heart of the city, Seven’s Martin Place studio is quiet, although never sleeping. Several journalists staff the newsroom on the first level and one flight of stairs above, two producers work the overnight shift for Seven’s market-leading breakfast program, Sunrise. Soon they will be joined by line producer David ‘Dougie’ Walters who is about to begin his day.
At a time when hospitality workers and university students contemplate calling it a night, Walters is at his desk.

Kelsey Grammer has tried to justify his recent angry "outburst" on Australian television. The former Frasier actor, who is currently travelling around Australia with new wife Kayte, reportedly flew into a race at Seven Network producer Mark Beirne after breakfast show Sunrise showed footage of him kissing his ex-wife Camille while Kayte watched in the studio. Grammer described his interview with hosts David Koch and Natalie Barr as an "unfortunate incident", adding: "I won't be doing them again, my outburst was deserved." Seven bosses have allegedly now banned Grammer from appearing on their channel in the future after the (more)...
