AFL champion Ben Cousins will dip his toe into the world of radio as he continues to turn his life around following years of controversy. The 7NEWS Perth sports presenter has signed a deal to appear each Wednesday on Mix94.5’s breakfast radio show with Pete and Kymba. Cousins, who is also set to be a marquee contestant on Channel 7’s Dancing with the Stars later this year, will join the Perth radio pair for ‘Bensday Wednesday’, where the three will discuss footy, his TV show, and life.
5, we can say that he’s an official friend of the show,” Pete and Kymba said in a statement. “Now that’s a whole new level of friendship.” Cousins played 270 games at AFL level and won the 2005 Brownlow Medal, but was sacked from the Eagles and given a 12-month AFL ban after being arrested for drug possession and refusing to submit a blood test. When his ban lifted a year later, he was given a lifeline by Richmond, who took a punt on the then 29-year-old.
