“We’re owed a refund”: Carrie Bickmore’s huge birthday blunder

<p><span>David “Hughesy” Hughes turned 50 on Thursday and as a wonderful gift, Carrie Bickmore and her radio co-host Tommy Little hired a skywriter.</span><br /><br /><span>The plan was to write ‘HB Hughesy” with a love heart over Sydney, as a way to honour the comedian who has just moved to the city for his new breakfast radio gig.</span><br /><br /><span>However, the skywriter made a huge blunder and forgot the second ‘H’ in his name, calling him ‘Hugesy’ instead.</span></p> <p><img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7838944/hughsey-2.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/c0202c2c3e99426ea6a80476a97fe9ca" /><br /><br /><span>“It’s all about you right now … it’s live. This is live. Live above the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge,” Carrie and Tommy told him as he looked out the window.</span><br /><br /><span>“This is incredible, I’ve never had anything like this before,” Hughesy gushed.</span><br /><br /><span>However it wasn’t before long that they realised the blunder.</span><br /><br /><span>“Is there a spelling mistake?” Tommy pointed out.</span><br /><br /><span>“You spelled my name wrong guys,” laughed Hughesy. “Did you mean that or not?” he asked.</span><br /><br /><span>“Oh no!” Carrie cried.</span></p> <p><img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7838945/hughsey-1.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/998f2a6d13e745aa871dbabc5b3d5e2c" /><br /><br /><span>“Look that is disappointing, but I’m flattered by that,” Hughesy admitted.</span><br /><br /><span>“Well we’re owed a refund from a skywriting company,” Tommy Little laughed.</span><br /><br /><span>Carrie addressed the hilarious mistake on Instagram.</span><br /><br /><span>“Oh crap. Tommy and I got @dhughesy a 50TH birthday present and it was written wrong in the sky!!! Happy birthday HUGESY,” the caption read.</span><br /><br /><span>Hughsey received the unfortunate mistake well however, laughing as he said: “You know what? It’s close enough.”</span></p>
