'Today' show host, Sarah Abo, has stepped away from Australia's Nine Network breakfast program earlier than planned after developing high blood pressure during her pregnancy. At 39 years old, she is expecting her first child with husband Cyrus Moran, and revealed she's been in and out of hospital since the complication emerged, sharing two photos from her hospital bed on Instagram. "Copped a bit of a curveball last week with high blood pressure and have been in and out of hospital since," she wrote, adding that she and her baby are both doing well.
She had hoped to return to Today for an on-air farewell before formally beginning her leave, but doctors have advised her to rest, meaning viewers won't see her back behind the desk before she welcomes her baby. Stand-in hosts Sylvia Jeffreys and Charles Croucher broke the news to viewers, with Croucher explaining, "We were looking forward to saying goodbye to her, but doctors' orders mean that that's not possible right now," while Jeffreys reassured fans Abo was reading their messages of support.
