Gossip Queen: Scales tip against Triple M’s Mick Molloy in weighty battle

THE big shape-up and make-over plans announced by Triple M’s Mick Molloy in March have become no laughing matter for the TV and radio funny guy.

RRADIO funny guy Mick Molloy’s body makeover has become more of a
make-under.

After being savaged for questioning the shape of model Simone Holtznagel, the Triple M Drive host announced in March he had been “fat shamed” into taking action.

With his co-host Jane Kennedy offering support, an eating plan and gym sessions were devised. There was even an on-air weigh-in — he tipped the scales at 105.7kg.

“In two weeks I’ll be 105kg,” he promised his listeners.

But shaping up is not easy (Mick, I share your pain!) and 10 weeks later that 0.7kg is proving difficult to budge.

“He is taking it very slowly,” Kennedy said. “He’s just woofed a Cherry Ripe and three tacos if that gives you any indication.”

Molloy has form for saying things he’ll later try to forget. Last year he vowed to “get a premiership tattoo on my chest and walk around topless for a year” if his beloved Richmond won.
