This is the extraordinary moment an Australian newsreader flew into a rage because the reporter and guest are both wearing the same colour she is.

The awkward footage was taken in a 9 News studio as newsreader Amber Sherlock realised all three of them were wearing white moments before going live.

She ordered her colleague Julie Snook to put on a jacket as she grew angry about their matching outfits.

The presenter said: “I need Julie to put a jacket on because we're all in white. I asked her before we came on… Julie you need to put a jacket on.”

But Ms Snook defended herself, claiming she had been too busy to change outfits.

“Come on I told you two hours ago,” responded Ms Sherlock, who continued to insist she find a change of outfit.

Their guest, psychologist Sandy Rea, can be seen growing awkward as she tentatively offered to put a jacket on herself.

But Ms Sherlock told her not to worry as she had mentioned in advance she would be wearing white.

She added: “There can't be three of us.

“If it's an issue I can get on out of here,” replied Ms Snook.

“It is an issue. Go and grab a jacket," Ms Sherlock snapped. “I wasn't saying it for no reason. The wardrobe girls will be furious.

She added: “Come on. Wearing a jacket isn’t the hardest thing, I asked you two-and-a-half hours ago.”

The heated back-and-forth continued until Ms Snook was given a black jacket, with all three then assuming gleaming smiles as they went on air.

It is not clear who leaked the footage.
