Ross, speaking at the Mumbrella Entertainment Marketing Summit, said: “I did years of breakfast radio where you have to throw everyone under the bus in your life, whether it was neighbours or whatever shit you talk about, suddenly you just need to find all this content. You put everything on the line and now I don’t have to do that, it’s not part of my life.”

Ross, who now works as a standup comedian and pursues his passion for modernist architecture, said: “I don’t feel I have to but I like people who do,” he said. “I share in different ways.”
