Ray Hadley, 64, has been voted Australia’s sexiest radio star and was presented with his trophy live on The Today Show by Take 5 editor Paul Merrill.
The 2GB morning host beat out Hit Network’s Dave Hughes in the nationwide contest with over 11,500 listeners voting in a poll organised by Take 5 magazine with reigning champ Brendan Jones in sixth spot.
Hadley said: “This is the greatest accolade of my career. I’m a very worthy winner, and at 64 it was probably my last chance. Hughesy’s got plenty of time left to win.”
Take 5 editor Paul Merrill said: “The top 25 definitely shows that being ‘hot’ isn’t just about physical appearance – it includes voice, sense of humour and personality too. To his listeners, Ray is a guilty crush and every bit as sexy as hunky stars 40 years his junior.”
