Meet the ABC’s glamorous business host Elysse Morgan: Fans go wild over the journalist

Elysse Morgan is the glamorous ABC host who is known for being able to hold her own in hard hitting interviews. 

And it seems that the journalist has quite a loyal fan base, thanks to her perfect mixture of beauty and brains.

Elysse has now been working at the ABC for a decade, and currently hosts The Business on ABC TV and ABC News. 

On her official Facebook page, fans gush over the blonde and have said that she’s both beautiful and intelligent. 

‘No doubt I am drawn by her beauty… but her intelligence is what stands out most as I love the way she can construct interviews with some heavy handed businessman and leaves them searching for answers,’ one fan wrote in a review, adding that she has ‘a load of class.’

Others called her a ‘gorgeous newsreader’ and a ‘first class journalist.’

One fan cheekily said: ‘Apart from the fact she is great at her job, she makes glasses look way sexier than they should!’ 

According to her ABC News profile, Elysse has worked her way up the ranks at the ABC, after moving there from Sky News. 

She started working as a rural reporter and now hosts ABC’s The Business. 

Elysse, who is in her thirties, is notoriously private when it comes to her personal life, but is happily married and has an adorable pet pooch named Ernie. 

Back in March, Elysse penned a piece for the ABC and detailed her experience of flying back to Australia with her husband after a ski trip in Colorado, in the US, at the height of the coronavirus pandemic.

Elysse said she first realised that the pandemic had become ‘serious’ after the mountain they were skiing at in Steamboat Springs, in Colorado, suddenly was forced to shut down. 

She then detailed their lengthy journey home to Sydney, saying they had to drive to Denver for three hours to get to the airport, before jetting back to LA and then Australia. 

But she said she was shocked at how packed their plane was and by the bio security measures at the airports. 

Talking about their experience at LAX, she said: ‘We walked from one end to the other of the enormous Tom Bradley terminal, which can process 4,500 passengers per hour, and found one public hand sanitiser and few passengers or staff wearing gloves or masks.’

She said she was concerned that crew on board her flight from LA to Sydney had no idea if they themselves were meant to isolate after travelling. 

‘Worryingly, airline staff didn’t know whether they were required to self-isolate. I asked crew as I was disembarking and got different answers ranging from “no” to “not sure” and “I don’t know,” she said. 

Elysse said that she was forced to endure the strict 14-day quarantine after jetting into Australia.
