His career started as a phone-in to radio hosts
Merrick and Rosso in 2000 while on a bricklaying job in Manly. Many years on and he's become a major TV star fronting numerous lifestyle programs and has done a stint on
Dancing With The Stars ( a measure of sure success in Oz).
He is of course the impossibly handsome
Tom Williams who was such a success on his call to the comedy duo that he was given he's own slot on their show.
