Rawdon Christie has opened up about being axed from Breakfast, saying he's glad TVNZ made the call and he doesn't miss it at all.
Christie and his co-host Nadine Chalmers-Ross got the chop during TVNZ's shake up earlier this year, which paved the way for Hilary Barry and Jack Tame to take over.

In his first interview since leaving the show in September, Christie told the Woman's Day that not only was being let go "exactly what I needed", but he was planning on leaving anyway.
The 4am starts, early nights and extreme stress of the job was becoming too much for Christie.
