Sunrise weather report crashed by hunk in Speedos

WHEN Nuala Hafner attempted to pick up a buff Speedo-wearing man live on air, it wasn’t all her doing.

The 38-year-old weather woman, who was standing in for Network Seven’s Edwina Bartholomew, spotted a beachgoer exercising and decided to introduce herself.

But there is one little thing which Hafner wants you to know.

“The host was feeding me the lines in my ear.

“I thought everyone could hear that,” Hafner said.

“They were the ones who said to say, ‘do you come here often’, ‘are you single’, I was just repeating what they were asking me to say, but you can’t hear that, so it looks like it is all me.

“I am actually really shy, I would never have the guts to do that on my own accord,” she said.

Hafner said Sunrise’s David Koch and Natalie Barr were aware of Hafner’s single status and used the segment to play matchmaker.

“I don’t have a partner and the host’s know that,” she said.
“It could have ended up brilliantly.

“This could have been our wedding video.

“We could have shown the kids in ten year’s time this is how mummy and daddy met.

“But he was engaged, happily engaged.”

The weather presenter said she exited a flight to be bombarded with texts and e-mails from friends and family who had viewed the segment.

“I have never received so much flack from my friends following something I did on camera,” she said.

“They have found it highly entertaining.”

As for the negative feedback she received for treating the bloke like, “a piece of meat” Hafner said she never would have proceeded with the segment if he seemed uncomfortable.

“He played along and was really friendly.

“He was clearly happy with it, he was down at the beach working out in a very visible way,” she said.

“He was so friendly. I don’t think he took offence. I didn’t ask him to give me a lap dance.”

Hafner is enjoying a small stint back on TV in between studying a clinical masters in psychology.

“I am on Seven while Eddy is away,” she said.

See ya! Nuala Hafner discovers the hottie is “happily engaged.”

“I am on uni holidays which is great.

“I am a full-time student at the moment.

“I have enrolled in a clinical masters in psychology, which is a two-year full-time course. It is pretty full on so there is not really time for work unfortunately.”
