Seven Sharp host Hilary Barry finds mould growing in coffee cup after return to work

  • January 13, 2026

One person said: “Bit of mouldy coffee never hurt anyone. Kind of looks like things I find in the back of the fridge a month after Christmas usually the gravy.”

Another person said: “Is this the adult version of the forgotten lunch box?”

Another person suggested: “Just pop it in the microwave and it’ll be good to go again.”

One person asked: “Isn’t that how penicillin is made?” and another said: “Pretty sure that’s how you make kombucha”.

After being asked online if the cup was one of her co-host Jeremy Wells’, Barry replied, “actually it is!”

Barry has fronted Seven Sharp since 2018 and co-hosts the 7pm broadcast with Wells.
