Richard Reid's regret over Karl Stefanovic bombshell

Keeping true to his entertainment roots, Richard Reid wasn’t afraid to spill some tea on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! this year.

Whilst in the jungle, Richard claimed that former Today show host Karl Stefanovic used to have “spray-on hair” a few years ago, and that he’s since “got hair plugs”.

However, now that the reality series has wrapped up and he’s out of the jungle, it seems Richard is having a few regrets about spilling Karl’s secret.

During an appearance on KIIS FM’s Kyle and Jackie O Show, Richard was probed by Kyle Sandilands about his revelation.

“And you told everyone about Karl Stefanovic’s hair issues – oh, Richard,” the radio shock jock said jokingly.

“Oh God, that was a big mistake,” Richard admitted. “Apparently, people have thought it but no one has said it!

“And hey, he rocked a comb-over like nobody’s business, with a little bit of spray in his hair – dark spray.”

While Richard explained the 44-year-old presenter is “the first person to laugh at himself”, he wasn’t too sure if he’d be able to joke about the hair situation.

“So, I guess he wasn’t planning on laughing at that, but he’ll cry all the way to the bank, won’t he?” he said.

It isn’t the first time Karl’s hair has been the centre of discussion.

In 2017, the Sydney Morning Herald reported Karl “underwent a subtle hair transplant”.

Neither Richard or Karl are a part of the Today line up anymore – Richard left in 2015, and Karl was axed from the breakfast show at the end of last year.
