Since then, Edwina has done every role at the network from making coffee to producing to hosting Sunrise, The Morning Show and the Olympic Opening Ceremony.

In 2024, Edwina revealed her diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukaemia on Sunrise live. "Literally I can take a daily tablet. My life expectancy doesn't change. I just do need to take care of myself and rest," she shared.

"So, we are unbelievably lucky to, firstly, have access to that in this country. And also I have reacted really well to the medication so far, which is fantastic. I have had no side effects."

She speaks more about her experience on 7news.
