has revealed that his Today rival hasn't yet gotten in touch.

'I haven't heard from Karl yet,' the 44-year-old admitted to this week. 
Matt went on to say that his predecessor, Kochie, had however offered him some advice. 
'The biggest thing that he has said to me by far is that I'm the perfect fit for the role,' Matt told the magazine. 
Matt Shirvington (right) has revealed that his Today rival Karl Stefanovic hasn't yet gotten in touch.

The television host started his run on Sunrise this week after taking over from David 'Kochie' Koch 
'That for me is a green light. To have a predecessor of his integrity and reputation turn around and say that, it's like, "wow"'.
Matt is celebrating a ratings win after his first day on the Sunrise couch.
Continuing its reign as Australia's number one breakfast program, Sunrise drew in an impressive 235,000 metro viewers on Monday, beating Nine's Today show by a 32 per cent market share.
Meanwhile, Today earned 188,000 metro viewers while ABC News Breakfast drew just 104,000. 
As Shirvington and co-host celebrate their big win, Today continues to operate without its leading man , who is away from the desk on a two-week holiday. 
'I haven't heard from Karl yet,' the 44-year-old admitted to Woman's Day this week.

Stefanovic was previously slated to go head-to-head with 's replacement, but is MC'ing at chicken heiress Tamie Ingham's wedding to Guillaume Brahimi in Paris instead.
Instead, the program is being fronted by Karl's co-host Sarah Abo and fill-in, Nine's chief political editor Charles Croucher.
'The timing is absolutely horrible. It's never been more important for Karl and Sarah to put on a united front,' a source told  
'It's crucial Karl be there to prove what Today is made of while Shirvo and Nat [Barr] try to step up without Kochie [David Koch].'

However Nine Network's director of morning television Steven Burling has defended Karl's break and said it is 'pure coincidence'.
'[Karl] booked in these two weeks' leave some months ago. The fact his holiday coincides with Shirvo's first day is pure coincidence.

Nothing more,' he said.
'Karl hasn't had any time off since hitting the ground running during the Australian Open in January.'
It comes after Stefanovic delivered a cheeky blow to his long-time professional rival Kochie, following the Sunrise host's shock resignation.
Speaking to guests at a lavish media event at 's Crown last week, Stefanovic said of Kochie: penipu 'To be honest, I'm glad he's gone.'
