Fans have taken to social media to slam Dave Hughes after his foul-mouthed appearance at Sunday’s Logie Awards.
Taking the stage alongside fellow comedian and Logie winner Guy Montgomery to present the award for Best Telemovie or Miniseries, Hughes joked about how he had never won the coveted TV gong.
He also made an off-colour joke about having to eat a boar’s penis while filming the latest season of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here.
‘How does it feel to win a Logie?’ he asked Guy, before adding, ‘I’ve been to 25 [Logie Awards] and I haven’t won a Logie!
‘I haven’t even accepted one on someone else’s behalf.’

Hughes continued his ‘I’ve never won a Logie’ theme with a crack about his role on the last season I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here.
‘…That show has been nominated every year since its inception – except for this year.’
He then told a yarn about how he was left with a moral dilemma while filming the survival series.
Hughes, a vegan, said he was asked to compromise his principles by producers while filming the show during an eating challenge.
‘I said ”what am I eating?” And they said a ”boar’s penis” – that’s jumping into the deep end when you haven’t eaten meat for 15 years,’ Hughes joked.
He continued, ‘I had a moral dilemma. I love animals and I love being on TV. I had a think about it and I said ”give me the c***”.’
Fans took to X to criticise the funnyman’s performance and attacked everything from his humour to his familiar ‘shouty’ style of delivery.
‘Jeez Dave Hughes is so embarrassing these days. Never won a Logie for a reason,’ one user said on the thread.

Another fan added, ‘Dave Hughes is not funny, [he is] annoying & self-important.
‘His schtick with his stuttered robotic voice (on top of the pitch) is just grating & ick. Go away.
‘PS. Admitting he loves being on TV (ie. attention) is the realest thing he’s said in years.’
A third Logie viewer also took Hughes to task for his style: ‘Screeching at 11:30 pm. Shoot. Me. Now.’
Another viewer was equally harsh.
‘[He’s] another cancer with an annoying, loud, nasally voice. If he comes back to present the Logies — social media would crash,’ they wrote.
Still, it appears that Dave Hughes fan was prepared to a good word for radio and TV veteran.
‘So good to see Dave Hughes grace the Logies once again,’ someone said.
