'I'm loving the JOB SO FAR'

THINGS ARE GOING SWIMMINGLY FOR WEEKEND SUNRISE'S NEW CO-HOST

- 

For most, the thought of waking up to go to work on a Sunday while it's still dark outside has us reaching for the snooze button. But David Woiwod is not like most people.

Weekend Sunrise's handsome new co-host practically leaps out of bed pre-dawn to head into 'Brekky Central', thanks to years of 5.30am swim squad training "conditioning" him.

"I come from a long line of early risers, so I love mornings," David tells New Idea exclusively. "It also means I come from a long line of people who go to bed early. Nothing makes me happier than in when dinner plans are cancelled and I can be in bed by 9pm."

It's almost one month since David, 40, joined Monique Wright on the Weekend Sunrise couch. He took over from Matt Doran in early December. It meant relocating to Sydney from America, where he's spent the last five years as 7NEWS' US bureau chief.
