A bizarre rumour about Ben Fordham has been confirmed by the 2GB host after his radio rival Wippa made the shock claim on his Nova show Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie on Wednesday.

Co-host Wippa, 45, revealed that Ben, 48, has a ‘fold-down bed’ made of mahogany in his office. 

‘I think I’m allowed to say this…’ the radio host began, before diving into a description of Ben’s workspace. 

‘You walk into the office, there’s a boardroom table, a pretty serious mahogany desk and then there’s huge cabinetry – like mahogany cabinetry that’s made at the end of the room – with a fold-down bed! 

‘Is that public knowledge, Tom (Ivey)?’ he asked the executive producer. 

‘Well it is now,’ Tom quipped back, describing the segment as an ‘Architectural Digest’ room tour.

Co-host Wippa, 45, revealed that Ben, 48, has a ‘fold-down bed’ made of mahogany in his office 

‘Get Fordo to do a tour of the fold-down bed,’ Wippa joked.  

Ben confirmed the claim to Daily Mail Australia, joking that he’s concerned of a ‘security breach’ if Wippa is running around the halls of 2GB.

Ben said he inherited the office from former Breakfast presenter Alan Jones.

He added that ‘any mahogany furniture or crystal glassware’ was there before he arrived. 

However, Ben said that he had never slept in the much-talked-about bed.

In response to Wippa’s request for a tour, Ben said he was more than happy to show the bed to Wippa and the Nova crew so that Wippa can ‘jump in and have a snooze’.

‘If they’re happy to promote my radio show, I’m more than happy to give them a tour,’ he joked.

‘I reckon Wippa may need the bed at some stage because once his wife Lisa realises that she can do better, Wippa may find himself homeless and in need of somewhere to sleep. 

Ben confirmed the claim to Daily Mail Australia, joking that he’s concerned of a ‘security breach’ if Wippa is running around the halls of 2GB 

‘So please let him know that there’ll always be a bed for him at 2GB,’ he said. 

According to Ben, the kitted-out office also has a bathroom and a kitchen.

‘If it wasn’t for my wife and children, I would just move into the Allan Jones office and stay there,’ he said.

‘But no, I’m needed at home.’
