Tommy Little made a bold admission about his sex life on Tuesday night following rumours he once dated his radio co-star Carrie Bickmore.
The 39-year-old comedian appeared on Channel Ten‘s The Project and revealed he once tried fire-breathing to impress a woman – but got knocked back.
‘A woman had a [fire stick] and a bottle [with flammable liquid] and I asked to have a go and she handed it to me. I put some in my mouth and blew fire,’ Tommy began.
The veteran presenter said he thought his stunt would make the woman agree to sleep with him and was shocked when she rejected him.
‘I thought it would get me laid, but it didn’t! How hard are women to impress if you can breathe fire and that is not enough? What are we meant to do?’ he quipped.
Tommy then joked it was co-host Waleed Aly, 46, who successfully hit it off with lots of women and asked him for pointers, despite the fact the TV star is happily married to wife Susan Carland.
‘Waleed, what do you do? You get so much action! You guys don’t know this, but he is like the king of p**s! He gets so much action, what’s your secret, do I need to be smarter?’ Tommy joked.
‘The answer is yes… but that is just a general yes,’ Waleed cheekily responded.
Tommy’s confession follows persistent rumours he once dated his Carrie and Tommy co-star Carrie Bickmore.
The pair have been the subject of romance rumours ever since they hosted their HIT FM radio show from Paris, France in 2023.
In November, they were spotted cuddling up for a photo behind-the-scenes at the ACRAs after skipping the red carpet altogether.
Carrie split from her partner of 11 years, Chris Walker, in 2022, while Tommy has reportedly been single since his split from girlfriend Natalie Kyriacou in 2021.
Tommy rushed to Carrie’s side when she confirmed her break-up, leading insiders to speculate their friendship could evolve into something more.
Carrie announced her split from Chris in an Instagram post in January 2022, saying the pair would co-parent their three children, Ollie, 16, Evie, eight, and Adelaide, five.
‘It’s with immense sadness that Chris and I have decided to separate,’ she wrote.
‘While this is a tough time, our focus is on parenting, loving and supporting our three children Ollie, Evie and Addie with everything we’ve got.’
The radio co-hosts also had a hugely successful year in 2024 with their drive-time show.
In August, Carrie and Tommy was once again named as the number one national drive show in Australia.
The Hit Network show nabbed an 11.1 per cent share in Australia, securing the top spot for the fourth time in a row.
They said of the results: ‘We are so lucky to have such a hard-working team and incredible listeners who continue to drive us to unbelievable results.
‘Thank you, Australia, for making us #1 for the fourth time in a row.
‘We’re having an absolute blast every afternoon. We love sharing in the fun with listeners around the country.’
Hitting the number one spot made it the pair’s fourth consecutive win in the ratings and the best result the Hit Network has received for its drive slot since 2018.
