Tommy Little’s snobby comments about being unemployed come back to bite him following split from radio show with Carrie Bickmore
Tommy Little’s comments last year about how he would never appear on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! because it was for ‘unemployed’ people have come back to bite him.
Last year, Tommy, 41, appeared on Channel Ten’s The Project and was asked if he would star on the reality TV show, joking he never would because it was for unemployed people.
‘A news article said I am going into the jungle… but I have got a job! It’s a fantastic show… but it is for people who don’t have jobs!’ Tommy quipped.
‘You know what I mean? I have got a very successful national radio show… so why? It’s for celebrities who don’t have jobs!’
Tommy then had some telling words for one of his co-stars, who joked ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is coming for us all.’
‘Don’t get me wrong… I will be there one day!’ Tommy deadpanned to the camera.

Tommy, who is now unemployed following his split from his Hit Network radio show with Carrie Bickmore, shared the footage on social media and captioned it: ‘When jokes come back to bite you!’
The former radio presenter is one of the stars rumoured to be appearing on IAC next year on Channel Seven, after Ten axed the series in May.
In October, Carrie and Tommy sensationally canned their popular Hit Network radio show.
After almost a decade on the air together, the hosts of the Carrie & Tommy show announced they were calling time on the drive-time program.
Carrie is moving to rival station KIIS FM, where she will replace Will McMahon and Woody Whitelaw, who front the Will & Woody drivetime show.
She tearfully announced her departure during an afternoon broadcast.
‘I’ve loved every minute of doing the show,’ the emotional host told listeners.
Tommy called the ending of their partnership ‘really sad’.
Tommy, who is now currently unemployed following his recent split from his Hit Network radio show with Carrie Bickmore, shared the footage on social media and captioned it with some reflective words
‘It’s certainly not how I wanted it to end. I love this job, and I would have kept doing it for a long time,’ he said.
‘But I don’t always get my way, and I feel very grateful. I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity. I think we’ve had an amazing job to do.’
Matthew O’Reilly, SCA’s head of broadcast content, thanked ‘everyone who worked on the show, pouring their energy, creativity, and passion into making it what it is today’ in an internal email obtained by the Daily Telegraph.
