Popular Today Show co-host Lisa Wilkinson has opened up about the private struggle that her family has faced in recent years.
Lisa confessed to the assembled guests during a NutraLife vitamins launch in Sydney last week that both her mother and her brother almost lost their lives to heart attacks.
‘Mum had a triple bypass six years ago,’ the television star revealed to the crowd. ‘It allowed us many more years than we thought were going to be possibe.’
