Sunrise star's unexpected jab at Matt Doran sends co-host into a spin
- Replies 7
Looking for some television entertainment and news? If so, buckle up, because on one of Australia’s most beloved morning shows, Sunrise, there was a cheeky moment that left viewers raising their eyebrows.
Sunrise viewers witnessed one host taking a sly dig over the weekend at another host. It was this very comment that left some viewers laughing, but others offended and disappointed. Now, we all know it wouldn’t be Aussie telly without a bit of light-hearted banter among the co-hosts, but this unexpected jab had more than a pinch of spice.
It all began when Weekend Sunrise presenter Monique Wright made a ‘cheeky’ remark about her co-host, Matt Doran, during the live broadcast of the show early in the morning—a comment that had her fellow presenter in stitches.
Monique and Matt have shared quite a few laughs in their time on the show, which is all part of that sunny Aussie spirit we all know and love. But this time, Monique's zing took a surprising shot at Matt’s absence during a crucial job assignment he had previously undertaken earlier in June.
Bringing up Matt’s rather notorious stint covering the tragic bus crash in the Hunter Valley, that took the lives of 10 wedding guests over the June long weekend, she playfully queried, 'I wonder if Matt's going to come back for the last 20 minutes of the program.'
Monique's spontaneous quip immediately evoked laughter from the others on set, especially co-host Sally Bowery who responded with an equally cheeky comment, 'I'm always wondering if Matt's going to come back.'
For those of you who might have missed this news earlier in June, let's rewind a bit. Matt Doran had been dispatched to the Hunter Valley to report on the heart-wrenching bus crash involving a wedding party. The incident had captured the nation's attention, with the accident taking ten lives.
However, Matt’s subsequent unexplained absence from work sparked quite the frenzy, including a frantic police search. He failed to show up for his scheduled reporting slot on Sunrise, which triggered a manhunt when the knocks on his hotel room door were met with an eerie silence. Matt was last seen at a local football ground engaging with the Singleton community, and his unexpected disappearance sparked concerns among his colleagues and viewers.
Following his failure to answer calls, texts, or emails, Sunrise management alerted the local police, resulting in a missing persons alert for the 40-year-old reporter. Matt was later discovered at a nearby café.
After the incident, Matt took a brief hiatus from work and spent time at home prioritising his health and well-being. The well-regarded presenter had also seen support from his wife, Kendall Bora, who had rushed to the area to search for him after his disappearance.
The Sunrise star’s disappearance was a chilling reminder of the importance of mental health in high-pressure roles, especially when dealing with tragic events like the Hunter Valley bus accident.
