A C-BOMBING Sam Newman has unleashed an explosive rant, threatening to punch a man that he later called a “piece of s---” while on-air during the premiere of
The Footy Show last night.
A foul-mouthed Newman didn’t mince his words when he left a vulgar voice message with
15 Minutes of Fame website creator Tony Sheahan, calling him a “24 carat c---”, adding the next time he sees him he will “punch his f---ing head in”.
Our TV celebrities on-air jokey personas can be quite different to their off-air personalities, with Newman no exception, although he does have a penchant for a word describing the female anatomy.
All’s fair in love and breaking stories, but not so for the so-called
Footy Show scallywag who was frothing with rage.
He took umbrage at Sheahan after his
15 Minute of Fame footage of
Newman’s interview Mick Gatto yesterday was published by the Herald Sun, beating
The Footy Show to the punch.
But it was Newman who was still ready to box on when he left a c-bombing message with Sheahan just before the show went to air last night.
The
15 Minutes of Fame video shows underworld figure Gatto confirming to Newman he had been approached by Essendon to help sort out the supplements saga in 2014 first broken by
The Herald Sun.
Newman name-checked Sheahan on-air last night after Newman’s “exclusive” interview ran, calling him a “piece of sh — t”, with new host Craig Hutchison then stepping in to intervene.
