"He's upset": Kochie flips off Nat Barr after hilarious insult
A hilariously awkward moment unfolded on Sunrise on Friday morning after Kochie was left feeling "visibly upset" from a seemingly innocent quip from Nat Barr.
In the Sunrise studio, Nat Barr and fill-in co-host Matt Shirvington crossed live to Kochie, who is currently in London covering King Charles III’s coronation.
Appearing on the live cross, Kochie tuned in wearing a newsboy cap, which sparked a nostalgic memory from Nat.
Nat and Matt giggled as they couldn't help but compare Kochie's outfit to Aussie actor Glenn Robbins’ cap-wearing character Uncle Arthur from the classic sketch show, Comedy Company.
“Kochie, looking good,” Shirvington said, to which Barr quipped, “Uncle Arthur.”
Kochie rejected the comparison, saying he was trying to channel David Beckham with his Peaky Blinders-style cap, but Nat stuck to her guns.
Appearing beyond shocked by the resemblance, Kochie told Nat to "Get out", before sticking up his rude finger.
“He’s upset – he’s visibly upset,” Shirvington said as Barr awkwardly laughed off Koch’s gesture.
“It becomes you – it’s beautiful,” she backtracked.
Koch dismissed her compliment and tried to gather his thoughts to report on the events leading up to Saturday’s coronation.
The moment was shared to the official Sunrise Instagram page, as one viewer commented that Kochie's look was more reminiscent of someone else.
"He looks like Dr Harry!" they said, while another was more preoccupied with the gesture he gave Nat on live TV.
"Wow, the finger on breakfast television. Not classy David."
