Melissa Doyle beams with pride as she lands at Sydney Airport after her rowing champion son wins gold at the World Championships in Bulgaria

Former Sunrise host Melissa Doyle has returned to Sydney after she watched her son incredibly win gold at the World Rowing Championships in Bulgaria. 

The TV favourite was photographed landing into Sydney International Airport on Tuesday with her ecstatic athlete son Nick Dunlop, 21. 

He represented the Australian Rowing Team as a coxswain at the World Rowing Under 23 Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. 

Melissa was beaming with pride as she returned home with her son after his gold medal win. 

The mother, 53, had a wide smile on her face as she strolled through the airport carrying a large black suitcase and a carry-on. 

She looked chic but comfortable in a pair of black trousers and a black T-Shirt. 

The television presenter showed off a few fashionable accessories, including a Marc Jacobs camera bag, and it appeared she did some luxury shopping in Europe as she carried a bag from French brand Longchamp.

She kept her shoulder-length blonde hair down and straight as she opted for a minimal makeup look for the long-haul flight.

Nick also kept it comfortable for the long flight from Bulgaria to Sydney. 

He donned a pair of black tracksuit bottoms, a black T-Shirt, and a black cap as he wheeled two suitcases. 

Last week, Melissa shared the exciting news on Instagram that her son and his team won gold at the coveted competition.

Sharing a video reel, she wrote: ‘Really trying hard not to be an embarrassing mum, but failing. Bawling like a baby. Gold! World Champions! Back-to-back gold!’

Nick clutched the gold medal around his neck and sported a huge grin as he posed in his green and gold uniform.

Later in the reel, he was seen at the front of his team’s boat during the race, steering  and coordinating his crew, before they all posed for a group photo.

Melissa’s television friends flocked to the comments section to congratulate her son on his big win.

‘So amazing Mel. Huge congratulations Nick for all your hard work,’ wrote Sunrise co-host Natalie Barr.

The former Sunrise host could hardly wipe the smile off her face as she shared a series of happy snaps from the celebratory occasion to Instagram
