'I overreacted': Amber responds to TV fight
The TV presenters at the centre of a catfight caught on camera have responded to the footage going viral, saying it was all in fun.
"Live TV can be a pretty stressful beast, at times," weather and news presenter Amber said in a statement.
"And as anyone knows, it’s never much fun rocking up to work or to a party in the same outfit as one of your colleagues or friends.
"I probably overreacted with the pressure of presenting a live news bulletin."
The presenter's response aside, you can always count on the people of Twitter to make light of any situation - and they haven't failed this time.
When the video was leaked of Nine News reporters Amber Sherlock and Julie Snook having a squabble before going to air, Twitter blew up accordingly.

Presenter Amber Sherlock had a major fashion dilemma when fellow reporter Julie Snook appeared on her TV segment wearing the same colour.
Psychologist Sandy Rea was also wearing a ruffled white top for the segment but Sherlock only seemed to be unimpressed with Snook’s choice of attire.
And now the Twittersphere has erupted with hundreds of people jumping to Julie’s defense.

Julie copped a stream of demands from Sherlock, who told her in the footage obtained my Mumbrella to go and find something else to wear.
"I need Julie to put a jacket on, because we're all in white," Amber says at the start of the video, which shows the women all wearing the same colour while sitting in different studios.
While fellow commentator psychologist Sandy Rae laughs, presumably thinking Amber must be joking, the reporter carries on in a disgruntled fashion.
"You're [al]right," she tells Sandy about her choice of dress for the show.
"It's fine, Sandy – but there can't be three of us."
Ironically, Julie eventually pipes up to say she wasn't actually wearing white.
"I'm wearing blue, for one, Amber," she says.
But that isn't good enough. Even when Julie offers to leave the studio and go back to work, she gets rejected.
At one point, Amber reaches for her phone to try and arrange a jacket to be delivered for Julie to wear.
The footage eventually fades to black, however the audio feed goes on with the women continuing to squabble.
