The Herald Sun reports that Peter Helliar has a new co-host for his upcoming breakfast radio show.

TRIPLE J darling and Spicks and Specks star Myf Warhurst looks set to join Peter Helliar as a co-host on Triple M’s new Melbourne breakfast radio show.

Sources tell Confidential that the deal is all but done, and that Warhurst will vacate her Sydney breakfast slot on the ABC youth network for the gig at Triple M next year. It will be the first commercial venture for Warhurst, who has also developed a cult following for her role on Spicks and Specks.

She has been described as the ABC’s accidental “It girl”, a tag Warhurst finds strange. “People just look at you like they know you, but they don’t know where they know you from,” she told the Herald Sun this year. “I think people have been disappointed when they meet me. It’s like, ‘You don’t look anything like the girl on the telly’ and I’m like, ‘C’mon’.”
