She also revealed her father had passed away last Friday, calling it the “hardest day of my life.”
One of Sandra's Channel Ten colleagues offered their thoughts, commenting, “Oh Sandra. I’m so sorry for the loss of your precious Dad. Sending all my love.”
In an interview with New Idea last year, Sully admitted that her father had been battling a series of health issues.
“I am extremely private but my parents (Sydney and Carol Sully) are getting older and my dad has had some health issues,” she told the outlet, explaining her decision to appear on the SBS genealogy program Who Do you Think You Are?
“There came a point where I had to stop thinking about myself and realise this was about them ‒ and what a wonderful gift this was to give them."
