Melissa Doyle hosted Sunrise alongside David Koch from 2002 to 2013, a gig that forced her to wake up at precisely 3.10am every weekday morning. Since then, Doyle has gone on to more body clock-friendly television jobs, including stints hosting Seven News Sydney and the current affairs program Sunday Night. Her next TV appearance is a more personal one – she’s exploring her family history as part of the SBS program Who Do You Think You Are?

Here, she tells us why she’ll never part with her machine, and shares the stories of two other important belongings.
