Sunrise's Nat Barr returns and reveals she's still sick: 'Head spins'
Natalie Barr made her big return to Sunrise on Wednesday morning, after disappearing for a week due to coming down with Covid.
The host is still feeling under the weather, and joked that the lingering illness made her feel like sheâs âhad a couple of winesâ.
Although she wasnât back to her usual self, she did let her colleagues know that she wasnât contagious and had the all-clear from her doctor to return.
âNat is back,â David âKochieâ Koch told viewers, before asking her how she was feeling.
âIâm good, except Iâve got a sinus infection and Iâm a bit light-headed. Apart from that, Iâm great,â she laughed.
âI did a telehealth with the doctor yesterday, he said donât worry youâre not contagious,â she assured her co-stars.
