Unrecognizable Aussie TV Veteran Revealed in Adorable Throwback Photo

Chezzi Denyer has taken to social media to share an adorable throwback photo of her husband Grant Denyer to commemorate his 48th birthday.

The former Sunrise producer, who wed Grant in 2010 and has since welcomed three kids, posted an adorable picture to Instagram on Friday showing the veteran TV star as a child.

In the snap from the early ’80s, the Deal or No Deal host could be seen posing behind the wheel of a car, rocking blonde locks, bright blue eyes and vintage-looking clothes.  

‘Happy Birthday to our main man @grantdenyer,’ Chezzi captioned the post.

‘Doing what you’ve always loved – even if it’s on the other side of the world today.’

She added: ‘You are our world. Counting down the days until we can celebrate you properly back home!’

Chezzi recently opened up about her four-year health battle after a post-pregnancy hernia saw her struggle with nerve damage, unimaginable back pain and a lack of core strength.

The media personality took to Instagram in May to inform fans she had undergone a lengthy seven-and-a-half-hour surgery after struggling with the hernia’s effects for years.

In the post, Chezzi shared pictures of her hospital stay, along with a caption detailing her turbulent health battle.

‘Four years ago, after the arrival of my beautiful little Sunday, I didn’t rest as I should have after my caesarean,’ she started the post.

‘Pushing myself too soon caused a hernia in my abdominal wall and left me with a 2cm abdominal separation from top to bottom,’ an injury which stripped away her core strength and pelvic floor control. 

The result was layers of scar tissue around her third C-section scar and nerve damage that seemed impossible to fix. 

But despite the pain, the mum of three carried on, maxing herself out with family duties and not taking time to rest.

‘When Sunday was in her full body cast, I carried her 20+ kilo little body around for hours on end, rocking her day in and day out for months. 

Grant and Chezzi married in 2010 and have one of the strongest relationships in showbusiness 

‘My instinct to mother her overrode my own physical pain, and I did more damage. The hernia opened up again and a new one formed lower down.’

Years of pain led Chezzi to take the needed steps to fix the problem, which would include a demanding and lengthy surgery, as well as a six-week recovery process.

‘Last Friday, I underwent a 7.5-hour operation to rebuild me. I woke up feeling like I’d been hit by a Mack truck,’ she said.

‘I’ve had physio just to deep breathe again, and I’m rocking some gnarly-looking drains. But I am home.’

She then went on to thank her husband for ‘holding it together’ through the surgery’s aftermath, saying she was in ‘awe’ of him.
