Sunrise host Kochie has addressed why his co-host Nat Barr failed to show up for work on Monday morning.
Nat was scheduled to return to the Sunrise desk on Monday after a week off to visit family in Perth.
However, Kochie shared that Nat had unfortunately tested positive for Covid-19 upon her return to Sydney.
“Well, everyone’s been asking, ‘Where’s Nat?’ Well, you may have noticed she’s been missing over the past week or so,” Koch began.
“She’s at home in isolation after testing positive for Covid.”
Where’s Nat???

Monique Wright, who was filling in for Barr on Monday morning, said, “During her time off, Nat’s been very busy: she’s been trying new recipes, she has also been working her way through her new wardrobe, doing some early spring cleaning and organising, due to being stuck in her bedroom.”
Kochie joked that Barr was so bored in isolation she even “cleaned out the bathroom cabinets” and reorganised her sock drawer.
He also assured the audience that Nat’s symptoms have been mild.
“She’s fully vaccinated of course – all the four doses, her cough is virtually gone,” he said.
“We wish her a speedy recovery.”
Nat is expected to return to Brekky Central on Wednesday.
On her Instagram stories on Sunday night, Barr said, “I know I’m bored when I’m cleaning out the bathroom drawers #covid”.
She then shared footage of her sharpening her lip liners, writing “Peak COVID excitement”.
