Footy great turned radio star Corey Oates shocks listeners by revealing a VERY surprising detail about his sex life live on air
Former Brisbane star Corey Oates has blindsided fans of his radio show by revealing the surprising amount of time he and his wife waited to have sex after meeting each other. The 30-year-old ex-Broncos player turned radio star was discussing the topic with his KIIS 97.3 breakfast hosts, Robin and Kip, on Tuesday morning. Oates said he and his wife Tegan waited about a year to have sex after their first meeting. 'Because when we first met, it was a long time from when we first met to actually getting together,' Oates said. 'Honestly, it was like 11 years ago. I've had a lot of head knocks, alright. You're really trying to make me think now. That's still hard for me!' When he asked how long they waited after the first official date, Oates replied: 'Months, yeah. Five or six. I actually couldn't put a number on how many dates it was, to be honest.' Oates says he was to blame in the early days for the relationship not progressing smoothly. 'I always used to just disappear … Because I'm a horrible replier … I just get sick of texting,' he said. 'She pretty much used to like me then hate me because I would just disappear because that was just the way I was!' Oates revealed he had one other big reason for not pushing things. 'I was scared!' he said. 'If your father-in-law is one of the greatest enforcers for the State of Origin team, as in Gene Miles … you've got to be respectful of Gene Miles' daughter.' In 2024, Oates surprised footy fans by giving radio interview where he answered a question about which Broncos player had the largest manhood. He did an interview with KIIS 97.3 where a caller phoned in to ask which of his teammates was 'packing the most heat'. Oates laughed at the question and admitted that he didn't know for sure because not all the players stripped completely nude like he does in the changerooms. 'I walk around starkers,' he laughed. 'I scare the hell out of them all.' But after a few moments to think about it, he nominated teammate Jordan Riki. Some listeners were put off by the segment, but Riki didn't mind one bit. 'I'm truly thankful for big Oatsy, I owe him a few beers,' Riki said. 'It helps me out maybe finding a wife.'

Devastating ratings blow that could forever change Brisbane radio
KIIS FM's Brisbane breakfast team of Robin Bailey, Kip Wightman and former Broncos star Corey Oates have suffered a devastating blow in the latest radio ratings. The figures, released on Tuesday, show the trio in fourth place in the prized morning slot with a 10.6 per cent share of the audience. It's a terrible result for the KIIS FM breakfast crew, which has seen a 1.4-point drop since April's GfK survey. The poor performance has sparked speculation that the team could be facing the axe, and see the Sydney-based Kyle & Jackie O Show filling the slot. Industry sources say that management at KIIS FM is pressuring Robin, Kip and Corey to find a way to boost their audience before the end of the financial year, as reported by The Courier Mail on Wednesday. The poor ratings don't reflect well in the station's new lineup, launched in January, which saw Corey, 30, join Bailey and Wightman after he featured in the popular 'Find Corey a Job' segment last year. Meanwhile, Nova 106.9's Ash, Luttsy & Nikki Osborne triumphed in Brisbane's 'breakfast wars', landing the top spot for the second time running in 2025 with 13.1 per cent of the audience. Not far behind them in second position in this survey, with a 13 per cent share, are Stav, Abby & Matt on the Hit Network's B105 Brisbane. Finishing third were Marto, Margaux & Dan from Triple M's 104.5 with an 11.7 per cent share. In other results, Triple M topped the chart as the most popular station in Brisbane with 12.8 per cent of the available audience, with Nova trailing on 11.3 and B015 in third place with a 12.8 market share. KIIS FM was the fourth most popular station in the survey with 10.3 per cent of the audience. It comes after the station experienced a decline in the Sydney ratings, as management at KIIS FM has spent several months attempting to improve The Kyle & Jackie O Show's standing in Melbourne. The home of shock jocks Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson dropped 0.2 per cent of the market share. However, KIIS FM still finished third in Sydney with a 9.3 overall, with 2GB sitting at 13.6 (up by 0.8) and Smooth sitting at 12.4 (up by 0.6). And the wildly popular Kyle & Jackie O Show was again number one in FM breakfast in Sydney, with a market share of 12.5 (up by 0.2). Though their performance in Melbourne has slightly dipped again and they dropped 0.7 to a 5.1 market share following the gains they made last survey. Sydney juggernauts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson have been embroiled in the battle since their multimillion-dollar expansion into the city saw ex KIIS FM stars Jason 'Jase' Hawkins and Lauren Phillips be axed. On April 29, 2024 Sandilands and Henderson took The Kyle & Jackie O Show to Melbourne in a huge multimillion-dollar expansion deal. The move triggered the axing of Hawkins and Phillips own KIIS FM breakfast show. Sandilands and Henderson have since struggled to capture the Melbourne market. In November, Sandilands vowed to reduce the graphic sexual content on his KIIS FM radio show this year to appeal to the Melbourne audience more broadly. Brisbane listeners, meanwhile, have only embraced the pain tentatively with their syndicated drive-time slot, 'Hour of Power' finishing this survey with an 11 per cent share of the audience. The result puts them behind the Nova, B105 and Triple M in the same slot.
