Emotional departure! Osher Gunsberg announced he would be leaving his breakfast radio post due to his TV commitments on Friday.
‘I’m leaving Brisbane, I got too busy making TV,’ Osher sang while strumming a guitar.
‘I tried to make it, my schedule couldn’t take it, plus they offered me some more money.’
The Bachelorette host confirmed he will host the new Australian version of Bachelor in Paradise earlier this week, and claimed that filming the show would clash with his radio commitments.
While his co-hosts looked shocked at Osher’s decision, he also outlined that leaving the show meant he could finally spend some much needed time with his young family.
