Dave Hughes names Avril Lavigne as worst celebrity to interview

Dave Hughes has gone into detail about the worst celebrity interview of his career, saying the famous singer refused to look at him.

Dave Hughes is the latest media personality to open up about the worst celebrity interview of his career.

The 2Day FM breakfast host named and shamed the star during an episode of news.com.au’s Shock Jocks, where radio hosts are given the choice of answering tough questions or being ‘electrocuted’.

“Avril Lavigne was a shocker,” Hughesy said in the episode which you can watch in the video player above. “She had a bad attitude.

“It was back around Sk8er Boi when she was at the height of her fame,” he recalled.

“She wouldn’t look at any of us. I’m not saying I’m the most attractive person in the world, but you can just look at me once.”

Hughesy’s confession comes after fellow radio presenter, Chrissie Swan, revealed on air that Sam Newman was the worst interview of her career.

“It was terrible,” Swan said on Nova last week about her 2018 interview with the former AFL legend. “It was a terrible, terrible situation and so unusual in my career to feel so attacked.”

Swan was so offended during the prerecorded interview that she stormed out of the studio.

The interview never made it to air.

Sam Newman came out swinging in response to Swan’s comments, telling news.com.au last week: “What a coward to ask someone to come in, then walk out of the studio about an opinion over a topic we were talking about.

“I just gave my opinion and she walked out, how unprofessional. What a coward,” he said.

Fifi was not a fan of Ashton Kutcher.

Another radio presenter, Fifi Box, also spoke about her worst celebrity interview recently.

The Fox FM breakfast host said it was with Ashton Kutcher when he was in Australia to promote his 2010 film, The Killers.

“He cut me off, blocked me, deferred to the director the whole interview,” Box recalled. “It was horrible, it was an awful experience.”

Box also had a rather disturbing experience when interviewing Russell Brand for the film Get Him to the Greek.

“By the end of the interview he was straddling me, grinding me inappropriately and trying to kiss me,” she told news.com.au. “So that was a very strange encounter.”
