Fitzy & Wippa ‘Celebrity Screeners’ nabs Larry Emdur

The breakfast duo are back with a new segment.

‘There’s nothing more awkward if you’re ringing somebody and they’re two tables away when you’re sitting in a restaurant or bar and they pick up the phone screen it and put it down,’ says Wippa. 

The new segment sees the morning co-hosts call a celeb, and see if they take the call or screen it. Larry Emdur was first cab off the rank. 

‘We’ve spotted Larry at a cafe,‘ said Wippa. ‘If he doesn’t answer, which he will, when he sees my name on his screen, it’ll be “Wippa, how are ya mate?”‘

The phone begins ringing, while Wippa begins to yell ‘answer the phone Larry! Answer the phone, mate!’ and the call goes through to voicemail. 

A phone is handed to Larry in the cafe just as his coffee arrives. 

‘I’ve just told everyone we’re mates!’ said Wippa with faux outrage.

“We are, but you only ever call when you want me to do stupid stuff!’
