McGUIRE: ‘IT’S GREAT HERE’

EDDIE McGuire arced up on the Logies red carpet when questioned about his reluctance to come to the Gold Coast.

The Who Wants to be a Millionaire turned Hot Seat veteran made very clear he didn’t mean to disparage the Glitter Strip.

“That isn’t what I said,” he said vehemently.

“The point I was making from the Melbourne point of view is it’s important for Melbourne to maintain its position in Australian television, just as it is for Gold Coast.

“But I live in Melbourne, so I’d prefer it to be in Melbourne.

“But it’s great to be here tonight, it’s wonderful and I think the Queensland government should be congratulated for being able to do it.”
