Denyer, who has held the position on and off for the past 10 years, said he was leaving to spend more time with wife Cheryl and young daughter Sailor. "It's the greatest job in the world, but ... now that Sailor is nearly two she probably needs to find out who her dad is," he said. He made the announcement two years after returning to the role he had from 2004 to 2006. He followed up the on-air bombshell with a Tweet. The announcement comes following a spate of absences the 35-year-old has had from the show in recent months, which industry sources say is due to a chronic fatigue-type illness which has left him constantly exhausted and unable to cope with the early mornings and endless travel. Last month the former V8 Supercar driver caused alarm after passing out on-air while crossing from a stunt plane. After his on-air farewell Denyer was interviewed by Nova's Fitzy and Wippa, and said he planned to continue working in TV. "I really like adventure television and doing things on broadcast television that haven't been done before, so taking what I've been doing on Sunrise and taking it to that next level, whatever that level is," he said. A Seven spokesperson would not confirm if the 35-year-old would remain with the network and told news.com.au that he "hasn't announced any future plans." Denyer's manager Titus Day told news.com.au he would announce his next project in the coming weeks and would not be drawn on whether he would remain with Seven or not. He added that his relationship with the network was "fantastic." 2DayFM radio host Kyle Sandilands threw a cat amongst the pigeons this morning when he tweeted "@grantdenyer Can't wait to see you over at Channel 9 mate! K," suggesting the weatherman would be joining the shock jock on Australia's Got Talent. Nine picked up Australia's Got Talent in October last year after it was dropped by Seven due to poor ratings. A 2013 launch date for the series has not yet been announced. But a 2DayFm producer said Sandilands was simply stirring trouble and there was no truth to the rumour. "That was just Kyle having a little bit of fun," the producer said. A Nine spokesperson also confirmed that the network had no plans to acquire Denyer to front the re-booted series. "We're not having Grant on the show and we're not talking to him about it," the spokesperson said. Sunrise weather presenter Grant Denyer passed out live on air as he took to the skies in a stunt plane while pulling 8G. Reaction to his resignation was swift. It's expected Weekend Sunrise weatherman James Tobin, who has been filling in for Denyer on his days off, will take over the role until Seven announces a replacement. Insiders say the news was a long-time coming, with Denyer expressing his desire to quit breakfast TV and spend more time with his wife Cheryl and daughter Sailor more than a year ago. "You get to see some of the great places of the country, (but) it is at breakneck speed and it can't be sustained," he said in November 2011. There has to be some normality pretty soon. I am not going to sacrifice my lifestyle just for a breakfast television show; it's not worth it. Denyer's manager Titus Day and Sunrise executive producer Michael Pell have been called for comment.
