Chrissie Swan emotional after mystery gift during recovery
The Nova host got an unexpected gift while recovering from a hospitalisation that kept her off air since September.
Chrissie Swan, who hosts The Chrissie Swan Show, has been recovering from a medical emergency that landed her in hospital in the lead-up to spring. Chrissie Swan stepped away from radio in September and has shared updates on her healing journey with listeners.
A company recently sent her something to cheer her up, and she posted a video of her first reaction. Swan walked into a room, gasped, and covered her face with emotion.
She cried, saying it was beautiful and she could not believe it. She did not reveal what the gift was.
In her caption, she reflected on finding her world full of kind and thoughtful people during the ordeal. She promised fans she would share what it was the next day.
