The ABC’s Nate Byrne has revealed the brutal letter he received from a viewer after making a change to his appearance. It seems as though this viewer really disliked the ABC News Breakfast weather presenter’s haircut… enough to send him a letter in the post.

Nate shared a photo of the letter, which was dated August 13 and read: “Whilst I respect your right to have your hair styled as you wish, I am exercising my right to tell you it looks juvenile and awful. I’ll return to ABC Breakfast once it grows out.”

They even signed off as “Disappointed Viewer,” with Nate choosing to hide the person’s name.

Nate jokingly captioned the snap, “Mail’s in! Proof that the art of letter-writing isn’t dead! Anyone have suggestions for my next do?”

MasterChef judge and former contestant Poh Ling Yeow commented on the post, saying, “Can u please make it extra ‘juvenile’? Nate, I used to get hate mail about my ‘fake’ laugh… ABC viewers.”

ABC News presenter Jeremy Fernandez joked, “Never change, ya legend! Or – actually – keep changing. Give ‘em hell.”

“Nate could wear a pumpkin helmet to work every day and still be the most beautiful spirit on morning television till the end of days!” one viewer wrote. “We adore you and your hair!”

“Time for a daily fun wig rotation,” another joked.

“OMFG! They have WAY too much time on their hands and no taste when it comes to the latest trends,” someone else laughed. “Your hair looks fab!”

“Omg how ridiculous,” one person added. “Nate, you are AMAZING, a beautiful human, who is enthusiastic, knowledgeable, clearly love your job, your passion lights up the screen. We LOVE YOU. Do not change, you are a very rare treasure.”

“With everything happening in the world this is where this person decided to channel their energy,” yet another said.

Funnily, Nate shared a selfie on August 10 while away for work, debuting his new haircut, with several followers writing at the time that they loved the new look.

“Love the new hairdo, Nate,” one person wrote, while another added, “Love the new hair.”

“Loving the new hair – so fresh and sexy!” a third added.
