KIIS FM radio star Lauren Phillips has been blasted on live on-air by actor Matt Damon for being a ‘bad neighbour’.
Appearing on KIIS 101.1’s Jase and Lauren in the Morning on Thursday, the Hollywood star took aim at the Weekend Today show weather girl after living next door to her and her aviation tycoon boyfriend Paul O’Brien, earlier this year.
The American actor stayed in Byron Bay for six months before heading back to the US in June with his family.

‘Hey this is Matt Damon calling all the way from New York City,’ he said on the line, before branding Lauren a ‘terrible’ neighbour.
‘Here’s how terrible Lauren is as a neighbour, she actually just said she doesn’t even know her neighbours,’ the Good Will Hunting star joked.
An overjoyed Lauren then launched into a bit of friendly banter with The Bourne Identity star, calling him a ‘far worse neighbour’ than her.
‘You used to just walk into our house willy nilly and send your kids over and you’d never leave,’ Lauren said to the Oscar winner.

Matt then revealed Lauren had an annoying habit of singing Whitney Houston songs after enjoying a few glasses of wine.
‘She not afraid of [singing] Whitney,’ he said. ‘volume isn’t the problem. Confidence isn’t the problem either.’

Lauren has become a rising star on KIIS FM following years in Melbourne’s elite social circles.
Lauren bared all while speaking to the Herald Sun this week, calling herself a ‘disaster of a human’.
‘The first thing I learnt in this job is basically your privacy is gone and you talk about your personal life a lot which is different to any job I have had before,’ she said.
