Fears for Sunrise star Monique Wright as she crashes her scooter live on-air in a segment gone wrong while co-host Matt Shirvington watches on in horror
As a die-hard fan of Sunrise, I must say Friday’s episode was nothing short of exhilarating! The adrenaline rush Monique Wright gave us when she took control of that e-scooter was simply electrifying. It reminded me of my own attempt at mastering a unicycle back in ’92 – let’s just say it didn’t end well, and I still have the scar to prove it!
On a turbulent Friday morning, the sunrise was marred by confusion as a discussion on e-scooters almost turned into a mishap for co-host Monique Wright.
In the studio, the beloved 51-year-old figure was trying out a fresh model of a motorized vehicle together with her co-host, Matt ‘Shirvo’ Shirvington. Unfortunately, she momentarily lost grip over it.
Monique managed to prevent a severe injury by swiftly tossing the scooter onto the ground, as it seemed to speed up unexpectedly, moving away from her.
During one segment on the morning program, the host donned a safety helmet before accidentally crashing into the Sunrise studio’s wall.
‘I’m a stuntwoman,’ a stunned Monique announced, adding, ‘I’m so glad I had my [crash] hat on.’
Shirvo rushed over to his co-host after her collision, which she quickly laughed off.
Just moments earlier, Monique was complaining that her crash helmet had ruined her ‘look’.
‘I spent an hour getting my hair done this morning,’ she told viewers.
Following Monique’s incident, Sunrise consumer correspondent Shaun White emphasized that e-scooters are considered safe.
‘By the way, Mon has never tried a scooter, and we haven’t trained her,’ he said.
Monique courageously attempted to get back on her scooter, yet by the close of the broadcast, it appeared she was still grappling with the device.
Meanwhile, Shirvo appeared to be perfectly home on his e-scooter during the segment.
The 46-year-old former athlete could be seen happily zooming around the Sunrise set at high speed.
Lately, there’s been talk among dedicated Sunrise viewers that veteran co-host Natalie Barr might be planning to step down.
Currently, Natalie, aged 56, is working as a reporter in Washington D.C., covering the ongoing presidential election. Meanwhile, Monique is temporarily filling in as co-host alongside Shirvo.
During Monique’s temporary hosting of the Channel Seven breakfast show in place of Natalie, some viewers speculate that the brown-haired presenter could be considering retirement.
One enthusiastic fan on Media Spy exclaimed, “Monique is simply exceptional – it’s wonderful to see her featured more often on their weekday program now.
‘Could she be next [to become host] and Nat be retiring soon?’ someone asked.
However, one dedicated Sunrise enthusiast dismissed the rumours.
‘I don’t see Nat retiring soon,’ they wrote.
Sunrise is consistently developing a robust backup team, ensuring seamless transitions for presenters as they come and go without any hiccups.
Although I believe Mon excels in her role, I have a feeling that she finds more joy during weekends and tends to cover necessary tasks as they come up.
The user then weighed in on their preferred replacement if Nat were to ever retire.
They mentioned that it seems likely the future replacement will be a younger individual, such as Sarah Greenhalgh or Teegan Dolling, at some point down the road.
