During a segment on Studio 10, the veteran entertainment journalist was brought to tears while talking about Blanche dโ€™Alpuget and Bob Hawkeโ€™s final days together as she referenced her late partner Peter Baikie.

โ€œWhen she spoke about that privilege of being with him as a carer, thatโ€™s true. I canโ€™t quite put it into words yet,โ€ she said, choking on her words.

โ€œBut um, itโ€™s a very special time, thereโ€™s a lot of honesty there. I kind of get what sheโ€™s saying, its a pure kind of love.โ€

In an interview with Leigh Sales on the ABC, Blanche spoke about her late husbandโ€™s legacy, which clearly struck a chord with Bishop.

โ€œHis courage in fighting this disease left all that shared his journey full of immense admiration. He found his tower of strength in his wife Angela and the love of his daughter Amelia,โ€ the statement continued.

โ€œHe fought courageously till the end and passed away on Wednesday 22nd November 2017 peacefully, surrounded by his family and friends.โ€

โ€œPeter was a car fanatic, a motorbike lover and a gifted mechanic. He embraced life with all it had to offer him โ€“ but without doubt his family and friends were the highlights in his world.โ€

โ€œThe love shown to Angela and family during his final days by Peterโ€™s circle of friends is testament to the man he was. He will be dearly missed but forever loved.โ€

Just last month, the 51-year-old Studio 10 host opened up about life after Peterโ€™s death.

โ€œYouโ€™ve 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.

โ€œI donโ€™t try to keep the grief in when it hits, otherwise Iโ€™ll do myself an injury. Youโ€™ve 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 Womenโ€™s Weekly

โ€œSome days I think Iโ€™m resilient, others I think Iโ€™m cactus. I havenโ€™t got enough distance to be able to look at it objectively. I donโ€™t 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, Iโ€™ve got the best reason to do that.โ€

The coupleโ€™s daughter, Amelia, has been Angelaโ€™s strength over the last few years and in an interview with Australian Womenโ€™s Weekly, she described her as โ€œincredibleโ€.

Mother and daughter are clearly close, with Amelia excitedly sharing stories of their many road trips and adventures, and dropping spontaneous kisses on Angelaโ€™s cheek while declaring her โ€œthe best mum everโ€.

โ€œWe kind of instinctively know when the other needs cheering up,โ€ says Angela of the dynamic the pair shares.

โ€œI know Peter would be very proud of Amelia and what she has been achieving. Sheโ€™s been working so hard on her school work this year and sheโ€™s a big help. We are a good team.โ€
