Former AFL star Brendan Fevola is taking a break from radio to compete in The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity Edition with his 18-year-old daughter, Leni. This marks the first officially confirmed team for the upcoming season.
Here’s the Lowdown: The announcement was made during The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick breakfast show, where Fevola revealed his temporary departure. Fevola, who previously won I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2016, described the race as a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity to travel with Leni.
What This Means Now: While Fevola is away, Jules Lund will step in as a guest co-host on The Fox Breakfast Show, reuniting with Fifi Box. This brings back a familiar duo for listeners who remember the former Fifi & Jules drive show.
The Bigger Picture: Channel 10 revived The Amazing Race Australia in 2019, and the celebrity edition, introduced in 2023, is returning for its third season. Hosted by Beau Ryan, the show is a proven success for the network, and adding a well-known personality like Fevola, along with his daughter, is likely to draw viewers. The new season will air on Channel 10 and 10 Play later this year.
