Blake describes himself on Instagram as a Royal family enthusiast and pet lover.

He was tellingly ‘tagged’ as the Cash Cow by health transformation coach Samantha Jackson in recent social media post.

‘Okay so I may have taken a bit of a shine to the Sunrise #CashCow a couple of weeks ago, but who could resist a big hug like this?’ she wrote.

In perhaps the biggest clue to date, another photo shared by Blake to Instagram shows him posing alongside the Cash Cow’s mask.

Last month, Sunrise hosts David Koch and Sam Armytage were left in hysterics after the character’s mask fell off during a live broadcast.

The mascot pretended to be a ski jumper using two umbrellas as poles, and as he threw his body back to simulate a leap off the ramp, his head flew into the air.

The man wearing the costume immediately dropped the umbrellas and covered his face with his hands, then rushed off camera.

Back in the studio, Sam and her colleagues burst into fits of laughter as Kochie yelled out: ‘Sorry, kiddies! Oh, no.’

‘Something terrible has happened,’ added sports reporter Mark Beretta. 

Sam, 44, reassured viewers that the Cash Cow was ‘alright’ as the mascot fell to its knees outside and begged for forgiveness.

The clumsy cow then rolled around on the pavement in distress.
