Hughes Tackles Meth Teeth and Marriage Spark

has revealed his surprisingly simple secret to keeping the spark alive in his two-decade marriage to wife Holly Ife.

The Australian comedian, 55, told Daily Mail he has managed to keep their romance as strong as ever by never taking things for granted.

'Be present, that is the main thing, and to have gratitude. If you live in the present, then every day is like your first day... you are not bored that you have been together for 23 years! You are just happy that you are together today,' Hughes began.

He added that another key to their enduring relationship was letting go of the little things to ensure that minor disagreements never spiralled into lasting resentment. 

'It's about not holding grudges, not having a scorecard of resentment that you hold onto,' he said.

'I'm all about never holding grudges, whether it is with a mortal enemy... or my wife.' 

He added which he is hesitant to fix.

'I'd never say never to fixing [my teeth]. The jury appears to be out on it, some people say to fix them, others say they love them, so I'm not sure what the best thing to do is,' he said. 

'There's something full-on about getting full veneers... I'm not saying I won't do it, but it hasn't happened yet.' 

Elsewhere in the interview, Hughes delivered a blunt verdict on ARN's eye-watering $200million deal with axed radio stars  and –'.

He said he was not surprised The Kyle and Jackie O Show was scrapped earlier this month, pointing to a rapidly changing media landscape.

'I don't wish anyone badly, but it is a tough time for the industry... and that is a massive contract to try to pay for,' he began.

The Warrnambool-born comic argued the deal was fundamentally unsustainable, insisting the money simply isn't there in modern radio, something Hughes would be all too aware of,

'It is a tough one, I don't think the money is in the industry. It is a tricky one when the world is changing so much,' he added.

While Hughes acknowledged the duo's popularity, he questioned whether any talent could justify such a staggering salary in the current climate.
