It’s been two decades since Shannon Noll became the runner-up to Guy Sebastian on Australian Idol.
And now the 48-year-old has revealed he still talks to his fellow finalist all these years later.
Speaking to 9Honey, the What About Me hitmaker claimed he and Sebastian, 41, are both still busy but find time to text each other.
‘I just messaged him just now. We do keep in contact, we haven’t had much chances to catch up over the past few years with travel schedules,’ he said.
‘You’re never in the same spot, but we catch up whenever we can when scheduling finishes and it’s great.’
