WHYALLA-born Sunrise weather gal Edwina “Eddy” Bartholomew has more fans than ever after filling in for the show’s hostess Samantha Armytage alongside Andrew O’Keefe for Kochie.

While Sam is back onboard today, 31-year-old Eddy has been a big hit with viewers, including singer Ricki-Lee Coulter.

Eddy, who was dressed by Adelaide couture house Paolo Sebastian for last year’s Logies, had a huge 2014 – her hectic schedule had her travelling the country in her weather presenting duties and co-hosting Dancing With The Stars with Daniel MacPherson.

The vivacious TV personality has become a much-loved character after joining the network 10 years ago, working her way up the ranks from news reporter to Sunrise Sydney correspondent, and replaced Grant Denyer as weather presenter in July 2013.

In an online Q&A, she outlines her hidden talent as having double-jointed toes: “It’s pretty gross but it means I can write with them and peel a banana if I really concentrate.”
