Nova hosts Ben and Liam pretend to be HR in a hilarious prank call

Radio stitch-up! Nova hosts Ben and Liam pretend to be HR in a hilarious prank call to their female producer after she joked about Liam’s ‘big bottom’

Nova Adelaide breakfast duo Ben Harvey and Liam Stapleton hilariously prank called their female producer, Belle Jackson, after she commented on Liam’s buttocks.

During a segment earlier this week, the producer joked that Liam had a ‘big bottom’, so the hosts decided to get some friendly revenge the next day.

Liam explained on the Ben & Liam show that he was going to pose as a member of HR and convince Belle she was being investigated for ‘harassing’ him. 

Revenge: On Thursday, Liam Stapleton (pictured) explained on the Ben & Liam show that he was going to pose as a member of HR in a prank call to a female producer after she said that he had a ‘big bottom’. 

‘I figured what we would do this morning is call her and pose as someone from the HR department and maybe educate her on some of the things you should or should not say in the workplace,’ he said. 

An unsuspecting Belle answered the phone, and Liam immediately began grilling her about the comment and what her intentions were. 

But it didn’t take long before Belle worked out what was really going on.

At the start of the call, she’d tried to pass her comments off as a joke, then apologised to Liam for calling his buttocks ‘big’.

‘I am sorry it came out wrong and I did not mean for it to affect you this much,’ she said.

The hilarious prank comes after their program became the most popular commercial radio show in South Australia last month.
