Samantha Armytage addresses Botox claims

It’s no secret the world of television is rife with the pressure to look forever young.

However, Sunrise host Samantha Armytage has revealed she’s refused to succumb to the scruitny and confirmed she has never had Botox during a segment about a bizarre beauty contest in Saudi Arabia.

During the report which details how the animals were given Botox to maintain their youthful visage, the camera kept cutting to Sam’s face.  

The 41-year-old host decided to settle the matter, telling viewers that she has never had the cosmetic enhancement.

"Can you stop zooming in on me for a close-up when you mention Botox? Haven't done it yet," Sam laughed.

To prove her point, Sam furrowed her brown and turned to co-star Nat Barr, saying, "See? Still got a frown line. It's there!"

She previously told the Herald Sun in 2011, “I'm normal. And I'm not a model.”

“I know I work in TV but so do 57,000 other people. I'm a journalist. I find obsession with appearance to be so dull.”
