Sam Mac gets cheeky during weather broadcast with a woman who ‘shakes her booty’ for a living

Sunrise weatherman Sam Mac is as charismatic as they come.

And on Friday’s episode of the morning show, he showed his extra cheeky side when he shared a flirty exchange with a viewer.

While hosting his regular pop quiz, Sam, 40, turned on the charm when he met a contestant form Canberra who ‘shakes her booty for a living’.

‘After the weather, I want to meet another contestant… Good morning Ashley, what do you do in the act?’ he asked. 

‘By day, I work in marketing, and by night I shake my booty with a bunch of great gals… ‘ Ashley said.

A wide-eyed Sam cheekily replied: ‘More information on that?’

‘I am part of a dance crew,’ she explained, before Sam pressed the blonde beauty, ‘Just that? Just checking. Let’s have a look at some of your dancing…’ 

Following footage of the girl group showing off their dance moves, a thrilled Sam noted, ‘You take this very seriously.’

While it appeared to be a flirty moment, Sam who is very much in love with his girlfriend Rebecca James – was hamming it up for the cameras.

During an April interview with  Stellar Magazine, he divulged sweet details about his flourishing relationship with his stylist girlfriend. 

‘She’s just so calm, down-to-earth, and caring, as well as being absolutely beautiful,’ he told the publication at the time.  

In fact, Sam who has been dating the Melbourne-based creative since last year, is so smitten he admitted Rebecca surpasses any expectations he’s had in the past.

‘She’s a 17 out of 10,’ the smitten Logie Award nominee gushingly told the publication. 

Sam went on to hint he may be thinking marriage already, as he looks towards his future with Rebecca. 

He admitted: ‘Everyone wants to share their life with someone who is super special to them. I want to start thinking about what the next five or 10 years will look like. 

‘I’ve written my first book, I’ve got a great girlfriend, a fantastic family and my job’s going well. Life is really good.’

The Seven star publicly acknowledged their romance on March 27, eight months after his split from his last girlfriend, Elle Whittaker. 

Despite only recently vowing to keep his next relationship out of the public eye, Sam couldn’t help but gush over his latest squeeze. 

‘This is Bec. We were introduced on Instagram last year via our mutual friend,’ he captioned a photo of the pair.

‘Bec lives in Melbourne and I’m in Sydney, so the Victorian border restrictions meant it was illegal for us to meet in person.’

Sam said that despite the restrictions, the duo were able to form a great friendship through ‘Insta chats, phone calls and Friday Zoom drinks’, and that they spoke ‘every single day for almost six months’.

‘So when restrictions eased late last year, we could finally meet in person,’ he added. ‘By this stage I felt like I knew everything about her… except if she was interested in being more than friends.’  

He went on to say that over a ‘few Harry Potter marathons and a glass of two of Zonzo [wine]’ the pair discovered they both felt the same way, but ‘were just so cautious about ruining the friendship’.

He continued: ‘Bec is obviously super driven and taking on the world, but it was her calmness and kindness that I was drawn to.

‘She makes me so happy and I’m absolutely delighted to share her with you guys.’

‘See, 2020 wasn’t all bad,’ he concluded.
