Dave Hughes jokes his children ‘like most of the nasty comments about him online’

Dave Hughes appeared on The Project on Friday night with his wife Holly Ife and their children. 

The riotous interview quickly descended into chaos when the 50-year-old comedian joked that his kids make fun of him. 

While Holly and Dave’s children Tess, six, Sadie, eight, and Rafferty, 10, giggled, Dave complained:  ‘This is a true story, guys.

‘Recently I told my daughters, when they didn’t want to eat the wraps I made, “Daddy’s a big deal. Google him”. 

‘They did and they liked most of the nasty comments on the internet about him,’ he said. 

Earlier in the interview, which was to promote Dave’s new book How (Not) To Annoy Mum, Dave’s son Rafferty poked fun at his father’s stand up comedy skills at a recent family party. 

‘It was alright. It wasn’t that good. It was young, it was 10-year-old humour,’ the precocious pre-teen said. 

It comes after Dave and Holly celebrated their fourteenth wedding anniversary late last year. 

‘This day 2006. #stillbatting,’ Dave captioned a photo photo of the smiling bride and groom, which he shared to Instagram.  

In May 2020, the radio announcer and his journalist wife celebrated the anniversary of their first date, which was a mere three days after they first laid eyes on each other.

During a segment on Dave’s Hit Network radio show, the duo celebrated 18 years together by reminiscing about the good times they’ve shared.  

‘Luckiest day of my life, no doubt about it,’ Dave said on air. 

‘I was under a lucky star that night,’ Holly, 40, agreed.
