After a brief hiatus Scotty McDonald’s former Nite Alive co-host, Sally Platell, has come back to co-host the Drive show with him from 3-6pm.
The new mother of seven-month-old, Penelope, was keen to return so she could get back to keeping Scotty in line.
“We’re very competitive with each other. Often times we both think we’re right…some would say we’re like an old married couple,” she said.
There is a sense of warmness and friendship between the two though. Their relationship spans four years on and off air and began in 2008 driving 96five’s Street Machines together, then co-hosting Nite Alive from 2010 to September 2011.
Scotty’s welcomed having some company in the studio again.
“I have someone who can laugh at my jokes again, not just the crickets,” he said.
It’s not just fun and games for the duo though. They’re looking forward to broadcasting a program that gives back to the community and families in particular.
“Come 3pm each day, Monday to Friday, you can expect a show that uplifts Brisbanefamilies; a show that encourages but also entertains,” Scotty said.
Part of that entertainment factor is Sally’s mission to be an example of a good, responsible mum that still lives on the edge.
“Think Scotty’s planning on throwing me in one of those Ekka Toyota Hilux stunt cars in August,” she said.
Word on the street is it’s not just for the entertainment factor.
“Since she came back all I ever hear about is Penelope’s bodily functions. She even shows me photos of her used nappies. It’s not great for someone with a weak stomach,” Scotty said.
