‘I walked past [my partner] Alex and I had no top and I was going to the shower and I said, ‘jeez I’m on!’ and she said, ‘have a look at yourself mate! I think you’re not.”
‘And I looked in the mirror and I looked like I was pregnant,’ he chuckled.
Brendan also admitted that early-morning starts working as a breakfast radio host had caused him to pack on the weight as he struggled to resist the temptation of catered meals.
