Radio host Lauren Phillips has revealed she has ‘gone off’ fiancée Paul O’Brien after he decided to do some home decorating while she was away.
Lauren, 41, said on her Nova 100 Jase & Lauren Show on Thursday that while she was on a recent work trip to Fiji her entrepreneur partner took his chance to remove a couch he ‘hated’ and replace it with another model.
‘He has this hatred for this beautiful sofa I bought for our new home, Lauren explained to co-stars Jase Hawkins and Clint Stanaway.
‘Upstairs, beautiful sofa, white linen, stunning, in the living room. I love it,’ she gushed.
‘It’s linen so you near melt into it.’
Lauren said Paul did not like the couch and thought that it belonged in a teenager’s bedroom.
So when Lauren jetted off, Paul seized his chance.
‘He’s gone all Darren Palmer on you,’ Jase exclaimed as Lauren replied: “He’s gone all Shayna Blaze on me. It (the new couch) looks like it belongs in a dentist’s reception area.’

After pulling up a photo of what he assumed was a similar couch, Jase said it reminded him of the iconic couch on which contestants faced elimination on the Channel 10 reality series Big Brother.
‘Is it a big corner one like that? You know what it looks like, the Big Brother couch! You know when Gretel calls them all!’ he exclaimed.
Lauren added that their other co-host Clint had the exact same opinion when he visited her house the night before.

‘Stop, stop, stop,’ Lauren exclaimed. ‘Because last night Clint came over, And what was the first thing that came out of your mouth?’
‘This is the Big Brother couch,’ Clint replied. I said the same thing!’
Jase punctuated the story by uttering an iconic line from the reality series.
‘It’s time to go, Paul,’ he said.
The duo’s radio show topped the Melbourne ratings last month.
Their breakfast show was axed last year to make way for Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson’s big expansion into the city from Sydney.
Amid the competition, the Jase and Lauren Show, which now airs on rival network Nova FM, has been crowned Melbourne’s most listened to breakfast program.
The comedic chat show has taken home the coveted number one spot in the newly-released 5th radio ratings survey results for 2024 from GFK.
Jase and Lauren’s popular program gained 0.3 points and rose to 9.9 per cent in audience share, giving it a clear lead over rivals The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
