Mum rings me up… she was just bawling: Fitzy’s Mick Fanning stuff up

Oops… Nova’s Fitzy stuffed up.

Fitzy and Wippa had pre-booked Aussie surfer Mick Fanning for an interview this morning.

Being pre-arranged, the pair knew that Fanning was intending to announce his retirement today, but nobody else knew… until Fitzy let the cat out of the bag:

“Mick Fanning, he’s hanging up the surfboard”, Fitzy told listeners yesterday.

“Far out… do they know that yet?” asked Wippa, trying to save the situation.

When Fanning was interviewed this morning, he revealed the fallout from Fitzy’s mistake:

“I was on the phone all day yesterday… Mum rings me up, I hadn’t told my mum. She was just bawling, so heavy Fitzy.”

After a shocked pause Fitzy sheepishly asked: “Was she really? Don’t do this to me.”

“Nah, just kidding,” responded Mick.

He went on to talk about the ‘shark moment’ and the events that led up to his decision to retire.
