The Sunrise sweetheart steals the show in a slinky scarlet frock after a red-hot makeover.
She was rubbing shoulders with the likes of heart-throb Hugh Jackman, but last week, when popular Sunrise co-host Melissa Doyle stepped out to a charity gala in Melbourne, all eyes were on her.Looking more like a movie star than a mum-of-two, the breakfast TV star dazzled in a figure-hugging scarlet frock.
A self-confessed gym phobic, Mel looked anything but at the World Vision Seeds of Hope Gala Dinner, rocking killer curves that would make sitcom bombshell Sofia Vergara green with envy. Clearly, the 42-year-old has stuck to her New Year’s resolution to “do a bit more to look after myself, to prioritise exercise”. She reveals to Good Health magazine that while not naturally athletic, it became increasingly important to her as a mum that she “lead by example”.
“I want my kids [Talia, 8, and Nicholas, 11] to see that I think it’s important to stay healthy,” she told the magazine. “I can’t be saying to them, go to ballet or football or eat your vegies if I’m not doing the right thing.”
It’s not hard to see why Mel has been voted as having the ideal body shape for Aussie women. But unlike so many stars, Mel admits looking terrific doesn’t come easy. “I’m not one of those people who loves to go to the gym. It doesn’t come naturally to me.” Mel credits an impressive slimdown earlier in the year to a good diet and Body Combat classes.
