Insiders said Amber Sherlock was reduced to tears following the dramatic leak of two minutes of video Thursday evening
Footage has re-emerged of Channel Nine's own embarrassing hot mic leak in the wake of Rebecca Maddern's Novak Djokovic scandal.
The Network Seven anchor was caught calling the Serbian tennis champion an 'a**hole' while preparing for the nightly news on Tuesday, before co-anchor Mike Amor said he 'fell over his own f***ing lies'.
Video has since re-surfaced of Amber Sherlock's infamous 'jacket-gate' meltdown in 2017 when she raged at colleague Julie Snook - demanding she put on a coat after appearing on the segment wearing white.
Ms Sherlock was hosting a a lighter segment on Channel Nine's news alongside guest psychologist Sandy Rea and Ms Snook.
The footage shows Ms Sherlock exploding with rage after spotting Ms Snook and psychologist Sandy Rea sporting similar dresses to her moments before going live.
The presenters' embarrassing hot mic mishap was released on social media late on Tuesday night, quickly drawing traction from viewers - some supporting their comments and some slamming the pair
Directing her anger at her colleague, Ms Sherlock demanded Ms Snook put on a different coloured jacket, creating an extremely awkward situation for their guest.
'I need Julie to put a jacket on because we're all in white. I asked her before we came on… Julie you need to put a jacket on,' the presenter says to her producer.
Ms Snook defended herself, insisting she had not had time to change out of her outfit.
But Ms Sherlock refused to back down, replying: 'Come on, I told you two hours ago.'
Her fellow 9 News reporter apologised and said she had been 'flat out' and had not had time to switch into a different colour.
But a furious Ms Sherlock had no time for her apology and continued to demand she get changed before going live.
Psychologist Ms Rea, who by this point looked very uncomfortable, offered to find a jacket herself, as she was wearing white.
Ms Snook tried to claim her dress was actually blue, but she then agreed to put on a black jacket that was lying around in the newsroom
But Ms Sherlock told her to calm down and pointedly remarked that she was fine as she had made sure to mention in advance that she would be wearing white.
'There can't be three of us,' the newscaster flatly said.
'If it's an issue I can get on out of here,' Ms Snook said.
'It is an issue. Go and grab a jacket,' Ms Sherlock coldly replied, adding: 'I wasn't saying it for no reason. The wardrobe girls will be furious.'
Ms Snook tried to claim her dress was actually blue, but she then agreed to put on a black jacket that was lying around in the newsroom.
'If there's an issue I can just head on out and get back to work. I'm flat chat. I genuinely forgot,' the reporter said as she left her chair to find other clothes.
Despite their incredibly diva-esque row, the pair were all-smiles when they went on air, with Ms Sherlock (centre) grinning as she introduced her colleague
But Ms Sherlock was not finished.
'Fine, jump on out if that's what you'd like to do. Come on, wearing a jacket. I asked you two-and-a-half hours ago. It's not the hardest request.
'I know it's not your issue. But we did talk about it two-and-a-half hours ago.'
Despite their incredible row, the pair were all-smiles when they went on air, with Ms Sherlock grinning as she introduced her colleague - who was wearing the black jacket.
Ms Sherlock and Ms Snook released an awkward statement hours after the footage was leaked.
The presenters claimed they had moved on following Ms Sherlock's meltdown.

In the press release, Ms Sherlock admitted she had 'probably overreacted' in the video, which has gone around the world.
Meanwhile viewers heaped praise on Ms Snook's professionalism and called for Ms Sherlock to be sacked and replaced by her colleague.
'Live TV can be a pretty stressful beast, at times,' Ms Sherlock said in a statement on Thursday night.
'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
