Dave Hughes shocks with Grant Hackett joke

Dave Hughes’ opening Logies speech was peppered with awkward ‘ooo’s from the audience after he bridged some rather controversial topics.

One that truly divided the crowd was his handling of Grant Hackett.

Addressing the embattled swimming star’s recent troubles, Hughes said, “Grant Hackett, ‘Oh I’m going to rehab again’, well listen this time, right!”

“I love Grant Hackett, he’s a great Australian but he’s being a bit whingey.

“Did you see on Instagram he put a selfie of himself with a black eye and said, ‘look what my brother did’. That’s what brothers do Grant, you bloody be a d**k and they give you a clip!”
