Robin is one of the main anchors on ABC's morning news show, alongside Amy Robach, Michael Strahan, George Stephanopoulos, Lara Spencer and Ginger Zee.

The star has a beautiful apartment close to the studios in Manhattan, and spends her weekdays there so she's close to work.

During the weekends, meanwhile, Robin stays at her country home in Connecticut with her partner Amber Laign and their rescue dog Lukas.

The presenter revealed the downside to living in her house, telling her co-stars, including weatherman Sam Champion: "I spent several days – a few days – in Connecticut, got back to New York, walked into my apartment last night, and a blast of cold air – wind had blown up one of the windows in the living room."
