ABC News Breakfast: Outgoing co-host Lisa Millar's replacement is revealed


Bridget Brennan will be the new co-host of ABC News Breakfast after Lisa Millar announced, in July, she will be stepping down.

'What a blast the past five years has been, whether it was interviewing prime ministers and global thought leaders or getting karaoke encouragement from my childhood idol Gladys Knight,' Millar said on-air in July. She will remain with the ABC, focusing on her other projects: As narrator of the Logie-nominated series Muster Dogs, as guest presenter of Back Roads and as co-host of the podcast The Newsreader. Her departure from ABC News Breakfast comes after she unleashed on 'disgusting' online trolls who'd criticised her appearance back in March, while also slamming media coverage of the abuse she'd copped.
