Everyone knows the smiling face of Melissa Downes, one of our favourite Channel Nine presenters, but do you know where she grew up?

Melissa is a born and bred Morningside girl!

She has many fond memories of her childhood at her inner-east family home, where she still regularly visits with her own children now.  

We caught up with Melissa at the Channel Nine studios - this TV sensation not only gave us the grand tour, but also shared what she enjoyed about her growing up in the suburb of Morningside.
