Dave Hughes reveals awkward exchange with Irish tour guide: 'He thought I was a sex pest'

Dave Hughes 's UK and Ireland jaunt has been action-packed. The 54-year-old comedian has already nearly come to blows at Wimbledon and even snagged an invite to Spice Girl Mel B 's star-studded London wedding. Now, Hughesy has revealed that he was on a tour bus in Dublin, Ireland when the guide seemingly thought he was harassing his wife, Holly Hughes. The usually jovial radio star revealed his utter disbelief in an Instagram video on Thursday. 'Get on the bus, sitting beside my wife and the tour guide comes up to us and says, "I'll get this guy to move." To my wife, about me!' he exclaimed. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'She said, "That's my husband",' Dave continued. 'What the f**k? He thought I was a sex pest!' Hughesy, clearly still fuming, captioned the video: 'I shoulda headbutted this Irish tour guide. I've never been so offended.' One fan perfectly summed up Hughesy's dramatic tour, commenting, 'Gosh @dhughesy you are really showing all your charms over there.' Dave Hughes and his wife, Holly, have been married for 18 and the couple share three daughters. The couple met in 2002 in a bar in Melbourne when Dave was hosting a radio show. This latest misadventure follows hot on the heels of the couple's surprise appearance at Mel B's nuptials at the historic St. Paul's Cathedral, where they rubbed shoulders with A-listers like Emma Bunton and Cara Delevingne. Hughsey attended the lavish ceremony having formed a friendship with Mel B while filming The Masked Singer Australia. 'Holly and I had a fantastic time at Mel and Rory's wedding at St Paul's Cathedral Saturday,' he captioned the post. 'Got to know both of them on Masked Singer and was stoked to watch them tie the knot. All class day celebrating an all class couple. A great time had by all.' But speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Australia, Hughes revealed there were a few unexpected moments inside the ceremony that didn't make it to social media. 'Mel was half an hour late,' he said. 'I was slightly concerned Rory was gonna be left at the aisle in his kilt - no undies and no bride. But she turned up!' He added, 'Mel's little dog was entrusted to bring the ring down the aisle but she got lost and had to be chased around the chapel. Funny moment!' Guests were then transported to a glamorous reception at The Shard in vintage double-decker buses, where Spice Girl Emma Bunton and comedian Alan Carr mingled with family and close friends. 'There were thousands of people waiting outside the church - heaps of paparazzi. They didn't take any pics of me. Hurtful,' he joked. 'Emma Bunton is a lovely person. Alan Carr was a good laugh and loved Holly.'

Dave Hughes as you have never seen him before! Veteran comedian shocks fans as he flaunts his ample beach body

Dave Hughes is embracing his silver fox era - and he's not shy about it. The 54-year-old comedian surprised fans on Saturday when he uploaded a shirtless beach selfie to Instagram, proudly showing off his lean physique while soaking up the sun on Byron Bay beach, ahead of his evening comedy show. Grinning confidently in aviator sunglasses and beach shorts, Hughesy captioned the post with some amusing words: 'Is it me or the rain that's scared everyone off Byron Main Beach?' - but it was the photo itself that stole the show. He added a cheeky label over the photo, calling himself the 'hottest and only guy on Byron Bay beach' and, in true Hughesy style, threw in the cryptic hashtag #pregnantgreyhound. Hughes looked impressively fit for 54, flaunting a lean torso and toned frame that left fans doing a double take. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Fans and fellow celebs quickly flooded the comments section with praise and banter, with comedian Joe White dropping fire emojis and one follower declaring: 'Looking great! Enjoy'. Hughes married his wife Holly on New Years Eve in 2006 and they share three children together: Rafferty, 15, Sadie, 13, and Tess, 11. The comedian has had a challenging past year, as his long-running breakfast show Hughesy, Ed and Erin was axed from 2DayFM back in August. 2Day FM announced the axing of its trio of hosts on August 8, informing listeners that they opted to pull the plug on the show and replace it with night shift larrikins Jimmy Smith and Nath Roye, who were hosting The Jimmy and Nath Show. The announcement came that evening with the embattled hosts given one more show the following morning to finish up - but they decided against going back on air. 'We've loved our time together on 2DayFM Breakfast, however, due to some of our families living in different cities we are unable to commit to 2025,' Hughsey, Ed and Erin said in a statement. 'So with a heavy heart we are moving aside so 2DayFM can find the team to take them forward in Breakfast.' The program, hosted by Dave, Ed Kavalee and Erin Molan, managed a mere 3.6 market share in the last ratings survey. Millions of dollars were reportedly shelled out to salvage the long-running radio program, but nothing was able to be done to keep the show on the airwaves. According to radio insiders, the departure was a 'long time coming' for the trio and their plummeting ratings was the 'final nail in the coffin'. 'Southern Cross Austereo have spent millions trying to make this show a success, including having Hughesy relocate from Melbourne to try "connect" with Sydney listeners. It's always struggled to find an audience,' an insider told Yahoo Lifestyle. SCA went on to thank the radio hosts for their 'passion and commitment' following the announcement. 'We are incredibly thankful to Hughesy, Ed and Erin for their unwavering dedication in making the 2DayFM Breakfast show a fun way to wake up Sydney each morning since 2020. We wish them the best,' said SCA Chief Content Officer, Dave Cameron.
