'The conversation did not continue, there was a lot of silence. But then we got to the end of the show...,' Joe told Nova FM's Fitzy & Wippa during an interview on February 5.
'[A producer said], "Alright everybody, so I just want to let you know, I know it's an important issue for a lot of people and people are really passionate about it but we're all good friends on the show."

“KAK is not happy with Ten,” spills our well-placed insider. “She couldn’t believe they had Yumi on to get a headline, as she is famous for it. After the stoush, she told friends ‘if the network doesn’t apologise, I am walking’,” a source revealed.
“She also wasn’t happy she had to organise her own publicity to help sort out the situation. She had to call on pals Ben Fordham and Kyle and Jackie O so the public could hear her side of the story."
