The best part about working on Australian Idol is…
Getting to do some killer live television each week and then pumping iron with Marcia Hines after the show.
My Idols are...
Andre Agassi, Steve Albini, Brendan Cowell, Ollie Brown, Steve Menzies, mum and dad and the guy who started Ogalo’s.
I can’t live without....
My ipod, my family, constant sports updates and Ogalo burgers.
My most embarrassing Idol moment...
Blowing the biggest line of the biggest show of the year in idol 2003 "And the winner of Australian IDON is ….." what a retard. What is an idol anyway?
My greatest inspiration...
Either Millsy or Laura Gissara
The greatest risk I ever took was...
Eating a prawn laksa after I’d left it in the fridge for like a week and a half.
My favourite book is...
I love shantaram by Gregory davdi Roberts.
If I wasn’t doing this job I’d….
Be some sort of doctor or scientist obviously.
My greatest achievement is..
Seizing control of the gaza strip
