Sunrise host Edwina Bartholomew complains about hosting sports segment

Sunrise’s Edwina Bartholomew was left none too pleased about being assigned a sports story on Monday’s episode of the breakfast show.

Hosts David Koch and Natalie Barr announced a heartwarming segment which explored senior Australian citizens taking on the likes of boxing, ballet and pole-dancing to stay active and healthy.

However, when the camera cut to Edwina, she couldn’t help but think out loud, saying: ‘I’m not sure why I was assigned this story!’

Despite airing out her confusion over the segment, the news and entertainment journalist ploughed on like a true professional. 

Sports reporter Mark Beretta usually anchors Sunrise’s sports segments.

According to the pictures uploaded to his Instagram account, Mark, 54, is currently enjoying a trip to Kosciuszko National Park.

This comes after Edwina shared a heartfelt tribute to the former Sunrise host Melissa Doyle on Instagram.

Channel Seven recently announced that veteran broadcaster Melissa, 50, was leaving the network after 25 years of service. 

Edwina explained that she met Melissa when she was just an intern and thanked her for her ‘guidance’ and ‘support’ over the years.

 ‘I met Mel on my very first day at @channel7 way, way back in 2004. It was before I actually had a job and was merely an intern at @sunriseon7,’ Edwina wrote.

‘She has always been so supportive and ready with advice and guidance. From making her coffee and producing her segments to eventually sharing a screen for Presidential visits, Royal weddings and some ridiculous Sunrise adventures, Mel was always calm and collected, generous on air and off.’
