Andy Lee’s argument with girlfriend Rebecca Harding plays out on-air

Andy Lee may be considered one of the funniest blokes on Aussie TV, but the joke’s been turned on him in an excruciatingly awkward prank call which has played out on radio.

Airing on the Kyle and Jackie O Show Monday morning, the 41-year-old Australian comedian is heard during a phone chat with his long-term girlfriend Rebecca Harding, 31, who tells him she’s signed him up to speak at a charity gig at the last minute.

Things goes south quickly when Lee, who said he left an intense meeting to take Harding’s call, flat-out declines to help.

Here’s how it went down:

Rebecca: i’ve got [bleep] begging me, they’ve had someone pull out [of an event] and they need a celebrity for this thing in the office they’re doing tomorrow night and I said you can do it. It’ll be 15 minutes.

Andy: No. It’s an absolute no. I don’t care how long it is.

A: You’ve just got to auction yourself off for a lunch you’ll go to with one of the girls …

A: (Laughs) No, god no.

A: I’ve told her that you’re doing it and they’ve posted it and told the whole office you’re going.

A: Tell her that I’m undoing it. I’m not doing it.

A: It’ll be good promotion for The 100 [Lee’s show].

A: (Laughs) 80 people … I may as well walk down the street and hand out flyers. I know she can be a persistent friend, but no.

A: I’ve told her you can do it, so you’re doing it. It’ll be 15 minutes tomorrow night.

A: You’ve explained to me the scheduled appointment I’m just not making it.

A: It’s for charity … You’re going to come off as such ad**k if you don’t do it.

A: I’m not af***ing d**k. I never said I’d do it.

A: I said that you can do it; it’s a last minute thing for a friend.

A: Well ring someone else. Get a contestant from MAFS. You can attend with a cardboard cut-out of me.

A: Well then would you do the date?

A: No … What’s the charity?

A: I’m not sure – I didn’t ask.

A: That’s another thing as well, the answer’s no. And we don’t even know what the charity is.

A: It’ll be 15 minutes of your time

A: It’s your problem not mine. Enjoy your problem.

Harding then reveals she was “only lying” and it was all a prank for the Kyle and Jackie O Showto which a dumbfounded Lee responded, “Oh f***ing hell, I cannot believe I’ve failed for this.”

Lee previously pranked Harding in a similar fashion on the show, in which he was heard telling his girlfriend he “regretted” getting their new puppy and that he wanted to get rid of it.

She said she was left “shaking in anger” after the exchange.

AFL 2022: Kangaroos legends Wayne Carey and Anthony Stevens ‘separated’ after verbal spat, cheating scandal, North Melbourne

Former North Melbourne teammates Wayne Carey and Anthony Stevens reportedly had to be “separated” at a premiership reunion on the weekend.

More than 20 years after Carey’s cheating scandal with Stevens’ then-wife forced him out of the Kangaroos, SEN reports the pair clashed at a gathering of former North players on Saturday night.

According to SEN’s Sam Edmund, there was an “ugly altercation” between Carey and Stevens at North Melbourne’s 1996 premiership gathering at the Railway Hotel in Yarraville.

“It’s a pretty sad sequel,” Edmund said on SEN’s Dwayne’s World.

Witnesses said, Dwayne, that Carey went at Stevens, accusing him of talking behind his back, telling people not to bother trying to catch up with him but then being fine in-person.

“Witnesses said Carey went at Stevens, accusing him of talking behind his back and telling people he couldn’t be contacted and to not bother trying to catch up with him, but then being fine in-person.”

The Herald Sun reports the “verbal stoush” centered around Stevens’ mental health, with Carey discussing how he dealt with his own issues following the affair scandal.

Edmund said witnesses had told him the pair were “separated”, with fellow ex-Kangaroos left “stunned” by the verbal attack.

The Herald Sun reported there was no potential of violence and that the pair “moved on and shared a beer together” afterwards.

Stevens then did not take part in the club’s 1996 reunion parade at Marvel Stadium on Sunday — where 17 players took part in a motorcade before North Melbourne’s clash with Sydney — as he was left “shattered by the heated exchange”.

The Kangaroos told the Herald Sun Stevens, who is a club director, didn’t attend Sunday’s parade because he was ill.

While Stevens was absent, Carey was in a car with his young son, along with former teammate Wayne Schwass and premiership coach Denis Pagan.

The gathering was to celebrate the club’s 25-year anniversary, as Covid restrictions in 2021 forced the meeting to pushed back to last weekend.

Carey was caught cheating with Stevens’ former wife Kelli in 2002. He left the club in disgrace and played out the rest of his career at the Adelaide Crows.

The scandal returned to the public eye earlier this year when Carey spoke about it on SAS Australia on Channel 7.

The 51-year-old called the affair “biggest regret of his adult life.”

“One of the biggest stories was when I slept with a teammate’s wife,” he said.

“It’s haunted me for over 20 years. I was in self destruction mode and I guess my life started to unravel.”
