On Sunday, Daily Mail Australia published a story about the Sunrise host going "make-up free", sporting a "loose-fitting dress", under which she "dared to bare" her "giant granny undies".

"Sunrise host Samantha Armytage was flying solo as she stepped into a vehicle in Sydney on Sunday," the article stated.

"The TV personality's oversized granny panties showed through the garment with a clearly visible line," the story read, before noting that other gossip publications had romantically linked her to several colleagues during the previous week.

BuzzFeed News contacted Armytage about the online fallout to the Daily Mail story.

"I'm not making any comment as it's with the lawyers," Armytage said.

"I've been in love with; a gay colleague, a straight colleague, a bloke I stood next to at the races three months ago, a gladiator, a British boy-band member and 17 other people I've never met."

Her t-shirt read: "No I'm not dating anyone. No, I don't know what I'm doing with my life. Yes, I do what another slice of pie."
