Tony Armstrong reveals exact moment he had to quit his presenter role at the ABC: ‘Killing me’

Tony Armstrong has reflected on his departure from ABC News Breakfast last year after three years on the job.

Speaking candidly on the Inherited podcast, Armstrong detailed the moment he knew he had to quit, with his body ultimately making the decision for him.

“I decided about halfway through last year that that was going to be it for breakfast because it was killing me,” he told host Ruby Hall in this week’s podcast.

“Like literally, I ended up staying in bed for like a month because I just couldn’t get up.”

The 35-year-old former AFL star said he would be rostered to go on-air, but his body just wouldn’t co-operate. Eventually, his partner Rona Glynn-McDonald – the CEO of First Nations not-for-profit Common Ground – told him he needed to put his health first.

It’s not that good. It compares the show to a “nutritious and lovingly- prepared’ breakfast. I think this metaphor is even more cheesy than Sunrise’s family lines. They then go on to list what the show has, ‘news, sport, culture, interviews’. How about show clips of what you do?
