Ed Sheeran sends Fitzy and Wippa X-rated gift

Nova’s Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald and Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli can now say they have one thing in common with Elton John; a giant marble penis from Ed Sheeran.

The radio stars were delighted to receive a surprise gift from the British megastar on Wednesday morning, unboxing the mysterious package on air to reveal a pair of matching marble penises painted green and gold.

Sheeran, 31, had made good on a promise from a recent interview in which he spoke about the similar phallic statuette he gave Elton John for his 74th birthday, offering to send one to the Nova hosts, too.

It turns out he wasn’t bluffing, with the two now taking home their very own Aussie-themed versions.

“It’s a giant d**k in a box!” Wippa gleefully exclaimed as his co-host removed the stone appendage from its box, teasing, “It looks a bit like you!” as Fitzy struggled with its size.

Posing for photos afterwards, the pair were all smiles as they cradled their gifts.

“How do we thank Ed Sheeran? Do we send him back a giant vagina?” Wippa added to groans from his colleagues.

“It’s huge!” he added.

Taking to Instagram to express their gratitude, Fitzy and Wippa wrote: “We can’t thank you enough Ed,” tagging the popstar.

Meanwhile, fellow breakfast announcer Sarah McGilvray didn’t seem so impressed, calling the sculpture “disgusting” and “pretty horrid” amid the flurry of enthusiasm.

Elton John spoke to the Carrie & Tommy show about the unusual gift from Sheeran last year.

“I don’t know if that’s because I’ve always been a p***k or what. It’s really big, it’s beautifully made,” he said at the time.

The music legend said the statue was “hidden’” away at home from his children with husband David Furnish.

From the looks of it, Fitzy and Wippa will opt to display theirs in pride of place.
