In an emotional moment, TV presenter Angela Bishop has broken down while speaking about her late husband on Friday morning.
During a segment on Studio 10, the veteran entertainment journalist was brought to tears while talking about Blanche dโAlpuget and Bob Hawkeโs final days together as she referenced her late partner Peter Baikie.
โWhen she spoke about that privilege of being with him as a carer, thatโs true. I canโt quite put it into words yet,โ she said, choking on her words.
โBut um, itโs a very special time, thereโs a lot of honesty there. I kind of get what sheโs saying, its a pure kind of love.โ
In an interview with Leigh Sales on the ABC, Blanche spoke about her late husbandโs legacy, which clearly struck a chord with Bishop.
After a showbiz segment, Angelaโs co-host, Denise Drysdale, was seen wiping tears away from her colleagueโs face.
โWeโre just helping out a dear friend here,โ Sarah Harris said.

โYouโve got to quickly have a dash to the loo and have a cry then reapply the mascara and come back again,โ Angela, 51, says of attempting to keep a brave face on in public.
โI donโt try to keep the grief in when it hits, otherwise Iโll do myself an injury. Youโve got to go and find somewhere to have a little cry. I do it a lot in the traffic in the car, or in the car park at work. You just have to let it out,โ she told The Australian Womenโs Weekly
โSome days I think Iโm resilient, others I think Iโm cactus. I havenโt got enough distance to be able to look at it objectively. I donโt know if I ever will. But you have to get up and put one foot in front of the other and keep going. And, of course, Iโve got the best reason to do that.โ

Angela and her daughter, Amelia.
(Source: Australian Womenโs Weekly)The coupleโs daughter, Amelia, has been Angelaโs strength over the last few years and in an interview with Australian Womenโs Weekly, she described her as โincredibleโ.
Mother and daughter are clearly close, with Amelia excitedly sharing stories of their many road trips and adventures, and dropping spontaneous kisses on Angelaโs cheek while declaring her โthe best mum everโ.
โWe kind of instinctively know when the other needs cheering up,โ says Angela of the dynamic the pair shares.
โI know Peter would be very proud of Amelia and what she has been achieving. Sheโs been working so hard on her school work this year and sheโs a big help. We are a good team.โ
