Former Weekend Sunrise host Basil Zempilas was convinced he was next in line to take over from David 'Kochie' Koch as Sunrise co-anchor.
But his hopes were dashed when network bosses made it clear they were sticking with Kochie, who signed a new two-year deal in July.
Basil, 49, who quit Weekend Sunrise in 2019 for family reasons, assumed Seven had big plans for him because of the travel required for his job.
