Mortifying moment Sunrise host Edwina Bartholomew realises she named her son after one of her ex-boyfriends
Sunrise newsreader Edwina Bartholomew was left visibly embarrassed on Thursday when a story she was reporting on hit a little too close to home.
The TV presenter, 39, was discussing with her co-hosts a recent viral story about a father-to-be who wanted to name his daughter after one of his ex-girlfriends.
Edwina looked shocked when it dawned on her live on air that her youngest son Tom coincidentally shares the name of one of her exes.
‘I have just realised I have an ex-boyfriend called Tom, and my son is called Tom. That’s awkward,’ she told co-anchor Natalie Barr.
‘No!’ Natalie gasped, shocked Edwina would do something like that.

Later in the show, Sunrise host David ‘Kochie’ Koch asked Edwina whether her husband Neil Varcoe knew she ‘had an ex called Tom’.
Edwina clarified it was all just a coincidence as their son, who just turned one, was in fact named after her husband’s best friend.
It wasn’t until the segment on Thursday that she made the connection with her ex.Â
‘Honestly when you said it this morning, I was like, “Oh, my God.” And even worse, it was the person I dated before Neil!’ she blurted out.
‘So what a shocker that it didn’t even cross my mind until today.’

‘You don’t regret your eventual choice?’ asked Kochie, to which Edwina replied with a laugh: ‘It’s a bit late to change it!
‘Tom, beautiful Tom, just turned one yesterday, so I feel like that ship has sailed.’
