Veteran journalist Natarsha Belling joins Seven Network’s The Morning Show four months after being sacked from Channel Ten

She was sacked from Channel Ten in a brutal round of budget cuts back in August.

But four months on from losing her gig of more than 20 years with the network, veteran journalist Natarsha Belling is returning to TV, but this time for a competitor.

The 45-year-old has started freelancing at the Seven Network, and is filling in for The Morning Show host Kylie Gillies while she is on leave.

The mother-of-two will co-host the breakfast program alongside Larry Emdur, who welcomed her to the team in a hilarious Instagram post on Monday.

‘Demonstrating to @natarshabelling how I function by using my Ron Burgundy doll… Look who’s come to play, we’ve known each other for sooo long but never hosted together,’ the 56-year-old captioned his post.

‘Tarsh is about to discover how much of a massive tv tosser I’ve become .. let’s go @morningshowon7.’

Her start was also celebrated on The Morning Show’s official Instagram account, which uploaded a picture of the duo on set and smiling ear-to-ear.
