Fans praised Wright this week after he shared his hilarious trick to keep kids entertained over Christmas.

‘Mon preparing his children’s gifts for Christmas. I hope you have yours ready! the caption said.

The clip showed Monique placing the paper on the floor as if preparing to wrap presents.

But instead of wrapping the presents, the mother-of-three jumped on the paper and wrapped herself up as Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You played.

Viewers loved the sweet clip.

The 49-year-old TV presenter was featured in a clip posted on Sunrise’s Instagram page of herself wrapping herself in a roll of Christmas wrapping paper.

“I just love this girl, I wish Mon would host every day,” wrote one viewer.

“Mon needs a tiktok page, I love it,” another commented.

‘I love Mon very much,’ said one.

You are too damn fabulous! Thanks for the lols’ wrote a third.

‘You’re a good sport Mon, I love it!’ said another.

‘Mon – you are as always hilarious!!! I bet the kids would be thrilled with you as their main pressie!?!?!?’ joked a fan.

It comes after Monique was branded a ‘Grinch’ after revealing that she ‘hates Christmas’.

The 49-year-old mother-of-three was speaking to David Koch on the Channel Seven show in November when the panel discussed Cliff Richard’s upcoming Christmas album, which he was quick to dismiss as “garbage”.

When a puzzled Kochie asked her if she had any feelings for the 81-year-old British singer’s festive song, she quickly replied: “Yes, I am very sorry.” I hate Christmas’.

Her co-host was quick to question how she can hate the holidays when she has ‘eight kids in her house’, to which she replied: ‘I enjoy that you enjoy it, but it’s just work!’

The Sunrise team seemed to find his reaction amusing, tweeting the edited clip with moments from the 2000 film How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

“Monique ‘Grinch’ Wright didn’t hold back and told us what she REALLY thinks about Christmas,” they added in the caption.

The notoriously private Monique shares three children with her ex-husband Tim Scanlan.
