Fitzy & Wippa speak to a caller whose husband is on Ashley Madison

NOVA radio hosts Fitzy and Wippa were genuinely remorseful after revealing to a woman live on air that her husband had an Ashley Madison account.

The regretful incident occurred when the radio duo solicited for women to call into the show if they’re suspicious that their partner might be cheating on them.

“We’ve found a website that all you need to do is put in an email address or a username and it will tell you if your name has popped up on Ashley Madison,” said Fitzy.

The first caller, Sally from Glebe, admitted that as a single lady she uses the dating site to meet single men.

“It’s not just for cheating, even though that’s how it’s marketed,” she said.

But then the segment went horribly wrong when Jo (not her real name) from Blacktown called into the show.

“When that little thing came on the news about the Ashley Madison hack he sort of went a bit funny and I looked at him (her husband) and said, ‘What’s up?’ and he said, ‘Nothing’,” said Jo.

“I asked him straight out and he said, ‘Don’t be stupid, we’re married, we’ve got two kids’.”

Jo then explained to the radio hosts why she’s so suspicious of her husband.

“His hours have changed, his phone’s very close to him now, bits of money, where have they gone? ... He’s very snippy.”

“I feel like we’re on Jerry Springer,” said Fitzy.

“We’re putting him into this website right now and his details have revealed that he’s actually on the website Jo.”

After a few seconds of awkward silence, Jo said, “Are you serious?”

“Yeah I’m sorry,” said Fitzy.

“Are you freaking kidding me? These websites are disgusting and that girl that called before, she should be ashamed of herself,” said a distressed Jo, before hanging up.

It was clear straight away that the radio duo regretted what had just taken place on air.

“I don’t know if we should have done that,” said Wippa.

“That hasn’t left me with a good feeling. What a horrible situation to be in.”

Wippa then urged Jo, who was hopefully still listening, not to jump to conclusions about her husband.

“He may have signed up, he may have regretted it,” said Wippa.

“Jo obviously needs to have a conversation with him and find out how far it’s gone.”

The confronting segment was quite out of character for the typically fun filled Fitzy and Wippa show and they ended the break by apologising to the caller.

“I’m sorry that that happened Jo. I feel a bit bad,” said Wippa.
