The message that left Dave Hughes in tears
Dave Hughes might have built up a thick skin after years of dealing with hecklers around the country, but the star of the new Channel 10 Show, Hughesy, We Have A Problem, has proven that he still has a soft spot, breaking down in tears on radio.
During the program, Hughes and his fellow panellists covered the topic of fathers who found it difficult to communicate their emotions to their children.
“Me and my father never really said I love you to each other and now he’s no longer with us,” Hughesy said on the show.
Following the show, Hughesy revealed on the Hit Network program that he co-hosts with Kate Langbroek, that he received a private message on Instagram form a stranger.
“I had a direct message on Instagram that made me cry,” Hughesy said on air yesterday.
“And made my mother cry.”
Langbroek encouraged Hughesy to read it, despite the difficulty he was having.
“Hey Dave, watching the show. I nursed your dad at Mercy and he loved his family so much. He would often speak of you as kids. You definitely have his humour. A real gentleman who was proud of his kids. Love the show and yes, I live in Warrny.”
What a lovely story. What are your thoughts?
