Her job on the top-rating breakfast program has taken her all over the world, and seen her cover natural disasters, terror attacks and everything royal family-related.

“When I’m at work I concentrate on doing a good job. When I travel for work, I go wholeheartedly and don’t dwell on leaving them,” the 51-year-old explained.
