As they wrapped up the in memoriam, Edwina mentioned a loss that was 'close to home': Sunrise reporter Nathan Templeton, who died in April aged 44 after suffering a medical episode while walking his dog. 'Nathan Templeton spent the last 12 years with us at Channel Seven, bringing humour and heart to every single story he covered,' she said in a voiceover while a montage of clips played of the Seven star.

The father of two leaves behind his wife Kate and their two young sons Jack and James. 'Our hearts are broken for an adoring father and a wonderful friend, who'll be missed by many,' his family said in a statement at the time. Just a few days earlier, Templeton had shared photos to Instagram of himself and his two young sons eating chocolate eggs on Easter morning.
