Kochie was excited to catch up with his former co-host, and the pair had a touching reunion.
“How’s your life, bring us up to date! Cause Nick’s all grown up, and he’s at college in the US?” he asked Melissa.
“He is, he’s 21, he’s actually just heading over…to Italy to cox the woman’s four for the under-23 world championships for Australia,” she started.
“Tully’s 18, and she’s at first year Uni, she towers over me, I’m the little one in the family,” she joked.
Kochie reminded viewers that both of Melissa’s children were born while she was co-hosting Sunrise.
“Everyone knows them, they’ve known them since they were tiny little babies.
“It’s nice to come and see you guys,” she gushed.
Melissa also touched on the This Is Your Life reboot, saying that people need a “feel good, warm, nostalgic” show, before adding that it will feel like a “warm hug”.
The first guest to appear on the show will be Olympic swimmer Ian Thorpe, with episode one airing Sunday at 7pm on Channel 7 and 7plus.
Fans were stunned to see Melissa back on Sunrise, and were quick to make their feelings clear.
“Bring her back,” one wrote, while another added: “Can’t wait till Sunday.”
“Don’t watch Sunrise since you left, but I [watched] this morning to see you,” another person commented.
“Congratulations, Melissa. I’m so excited that you will be returning to the Seven Network. You will be fabulous on This Is Your Life,” a fan chimed in.
