It’s not the first time Shane has been mercilessly mocked by his peers, with actor Hugh Jackman recently outing the spin king for smoking in the bathrooms at the 2013 Cricket Show.
Appearing on Triple M with Gus Worland, Hugh explained: ‘So were getting changed, it was just Warnie and I and the shower goes on, and I’m like, ‘Warnie, what are you doing, having a shower?’
‘Anyway he starts chatting to me and I realised the shower was still on and I realised he was having a cigarette,’ Hugh laughed.

‘I’m like, ‘Warnie, we’re not in high school mate, they’re not going to kick you out. It’s OK’. And he’s covering it up with the shower,’ he continued.
The Greatest Showman star added: ‘I said, ‘Warnie, you can do whatever you want, mate.’
