In July he won the coveted Gold Logie, breaking down in tears when he accepted the award.
And on Wednesday night at the Ten Upfronts event in Sydney, former Family Feud host Grant Denyer remembered his big win, in a rather cringeworthy way.
The pint-sized 41-year-old wore a suit jacket that was emblazoned with a huge Gold Logie on the back, and was even slammed for the gaffe by Bachelor host, Osher Gunsberg.

In a clip shared to Grant’s Instagram page, Osher appears to film the clip and can be heard laughing at him, before Grant says: ‘Not my choice!’
Grant added: ‘Although I’m as proud as anything.’
Osher continues to laugh and assures him: ‘You look so good!’

Grant won the Gold Logie in July, breaking down in tears as he accepted the award.
In his speech, he alluded to his stint in a Thai health facility in 2013 as he admitted he had been ‘very unwell’ and ‘in a hole’ before Family Feud came along – and credited the recently-axed Channel 10 show with ‘saving him.’

The emotional host then dedicated the gong to his sobbing wife of eight years, Cheryl, and their two daughters, Sailor and Scout, and thanked Cheryl for sticking with him through the ‘best and worst times.’
Grant went to Thai health clinic for chronic exhaustion in 2013 and Cheryl, who had been dealing with PTSD and anxiety issues resulting from Grant’s condition, accompanied him.
Referring to the tough time, he said: ‘Family Feud is important, it came along for me in my life at a time where I really wasn’t quite sure if I would ever work again or if I wanted to.’

Struggling to hold in the tears, he continued hesitantly: ‘I wasn’t very well. I was pretty sad and a bit lost and I was in a bit of a hole.
‘Family Feud gave me the ladder to crawl out of that hole. It gave me mojo. It gave me courage. It gave me confidence. Family Feud, thank you so much, you saved me.’
He then turned to Cheryl and declared: ‘To my beautiful wife, Chezzi. Oh my God, we did it, darlin’. We did it! We b****y did it. We are an incredible team and I want you to share in this.
‘You’ve been there to hole me up when I wasn’t so great. You believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself and you made the two most beautiful girls, Sailor and Scout.’
He concluded his speech by saying: ‘I’ve said ‘survey says’ 30,000 times in the last four years. But for the very last time. Survey Says, thank you for making this your top answer.’
