Ray Hadley has been announced as Australia’s Hottest Radio Hunk 2019… and no, we’re not joking!

After launching a Tom Gleeson-style campaign, tearing down his opponents one by one, Ray was pitted against the Hit Network’s Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes for the title.

Dave Hughes spoke to Ben Fordham after the announcement and doesn’t seem to have taken the news well.

“It’s a disgrace!

“Competitions are ridiculous unless you win… and my wife didn’t vote for me which is really disappointing.

“Don’t get me wrong I love Ray but really, come on!”

Ray tells Ben he will withdraw from the competition in future years.

“I think it’s a sympathy vote, it’s basically my last chance at one of these types of things.”

He thinks Ben did well placing in the top 20.

“I think that you should just be really happy that you beat Steve Price!”
