Network Ten has confirmed that Natasha Exelby will leave Wake Up just 16 days after the program launched.
Exelby will stay with Channel 10 but work within their news division rather than the breakfast show.
The show will continue to be hosted by Natarsha Belling and James Mathison, with Nuala Hafner presenting the local news bulletins.
Network Ten Director of Morning Television, Adam Boland, said a lack of chemistry was the reason for her departure.
The full statement:
The new Danish family portrait is the creepiest thing you’ll see today.
The new portrait of the Danish Royal Family is a little well, creepy. The painting was unveiled over the weekend as part of an exhibition of royal portraits.
It took four years to complete and made to reference a famous painting of the Danish royal family in 1880s. Except, you know, it didn’t have one of the youngest members standing front and centre and looking like Damien from the Omen.
The explanation on the Danish Royal Collection’s webpage:
“In Kluge’s painting the royal couple is depicted in a gilt rococo settee surrounded by their sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren, all in everyday clothing. The present and future monarchs, H.M. The Queen, T.R.H. The Crown Prince and Prince Christian, all make eye contact with us, while their family members are portrayed in their own universe, unprovoked by the gaze of the spectator. The children are at play with the exception of the upright and severe Prince Christian who seems aware of his future responsibilities.”

This show is on to early for me but what I can see is Natasha Belling is a news presenter end of
I'm not sure why there is so must hate regarding this program. Just give them a go - and it has created jobs for people that I'm sure have worked hard to put it together - from cameramen to the make up artists. Seriously relax people!!
