‘It’s been a weird time’: Edwina Bartholomew reveals the REAL reason she’s excited to return to Sunrise six months after welcoming baby Molly

Sunrise’s Edwina Bartholomew will return to the Channel Seven breakfast show on Monday morning, just six months after welcoming daughter Molly. 

The 36-year-old has revealed she’s excited to be back on television screens so she can ‘contribute to telling breaking news stories’ to Australians every day. 

‘It’s been a weird time being an observer and sitting on the couch,’ the journalist and television presenter told News Corp Australia on Sunday.

Edwina continued: ‘It was particularly hard during the bushfires, to think I couldn’t contribute to telling those stories.’

However, she said that she’s thankful to have been self-isolating at home with baby Molly on maternity leave throughout the coronavirus pandemic. 

‘The timing in that respect has been great,’ added Edwina.

Last week, the Sunrise presenter shared a sweet Instagram post of daughter Molly befriending a picture of another baby on a packet of nappies.

Her baby gazed lovingly at the photo, clearly feeling she had made a new pal.

Edwina captioned the adorable photograph: ‘Makes friends easily’.   

Earlier this year, the journalist reflected on how motherhood had strengthened her marriage to husband Neil Varcoe.  

‘Neil has been so amazing,’ Edwina told The Herald Sun at the time. 

‘They say you fall in love with your husband again after you have a baby. And that was definitely the case for me,’ she cooed.
