A Sunrise segment from 2015 has caused global outrage after resurfacing online amid Black Lives Matter protests, prompted by the unjust death of George Floyd.

Twitter user Wolverine reshared a controversial clip, which showed Samantha Armytage criticised for a comment during an interview with British non-identical twins Lucy and Maria Aylmer.

The post has now been shared more than 32K times, and has even made news in the UK.

“The Aylmer twins come from a mixed race family in the UK,” Sam said to introduce the twins at the time.

“Maria has taken after her half-Jamaican mum with dark skin, brown eyes and curly, dark hair but Lucy got her dad’s fair skin – good on her – along with straight red hair and blue eyes.”

The “good on her” comment immediately prompted a side-eyed glance from co-host David Koch and sparked a furore on social media.

Samantha Armytage did apologise for the comment in April 2015, saying she would be “mortified if anyone thought I would say or think anything racist”.

“It’s not in my nature. To anyone who I might have offended, I’m sorry,” she said.

However, her apology has not stopped the clip from being met with renewed anger after she copped a lashing from people online who labelled her “racist” and “offensive”.

“What in God’s name did I just hear?!? Sam Armytage are you serious??? Wow,” one person said on Twitter.

“This is disgraceful. you should be ashamed of yourself,” another added.

“Omg. I literally froze like wtf when she said “good on her”. That’s like deep rooted embedded racism,” a third angry comment read.

Another said: “What a tremendously STUPID thing to say! You insulted BOTH these girls (& the entire Black community) with that ridiculous statement!”

Channel Seven and Sam Armytage have been contacted for comment.
