“I hate Christmas”: Sunrise host branded a Grinch
Sunrise host Monique Wright has been dubbed a “Grinch” after revealing that she “hates Christmas”.
The former weather presenter made the revelation during a discussion of Cliff Richard’s upcoming Christmas album with the Sunrise panel, during which she said the album was “rubbish”.
“You don’t feel anything towards that song?” a baffled David Koch asked after a snippet of one of the songs on Richard’s new album was played.
“Yes I feel a lot,” she said.
“Do you like Christmas?” he asked
“I hate Christmas. I hate Christmas,” she replied.
“You’ve got eight kids in your household, how can you hate Christmas?” Kochie asked, to which Wright explained: “I enjoy them enjoying it, but it’s just work!”
Bah HUMBUG!

The Sunrise team seemed to find Wright’s dislike of the festive season quite amusing, sharing a clip of the segment with edited-in clips, including a snippet of the film How The Grinch Stole Christmas and a slow-mo version of Wright’s revelation.
“Bah HUMBUG!” the video caption read.

The mother-of-three has been the breakfast show’s co-host since Samantha Armytage departed Weekend Sunrise in 2014, having joined Channel Seven as a reporter in 1996 and going on to replace Grant Denyer as Sunrise’s weather presenter.
