It comes after Dave revealed he had ‘bit off more than he can chew’ when he signed up to host 2Day FM’s new Sydney breakfast show.
He fronts the program alongside Ed Kavalee and Erin Molan.
‘Absolutely I bit off more than I can chew, but I love radio,’ he told The Sydney Morning Herald on Saturday.
‘HUGHESY’S BACK… and this time he’s taking problem-solving to a whole new level!’ the show’s official Instagram account captioned a video spruiking the Hughesy, We Have A Problem show
‘I really want to live in Sydney. When the network has gone, “We’ve got long-term faith in you” … you’re crazy not to do it,’ he added.
Since Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson famously quit 2Day FM seven years ago, 13 breakfast hosts have come and gone.
It remains to be seen how Dave, Ed and Erin will perform.
