The irony

This is sad for all involved. TBH this show is not my cup of tea, but it’s fun harmless family viewing which is great for kids right now.

Never should have gone ahead in the first place.

COVID19 doesn't recognise or give exemptions to celebraties, unlike govts. 9NewsAUS 7NewsAustralia COVID19AU QLDLabor

They should've asked Peter V'Landys to run it

The karma bus doing its best work.

The karma bus doing it's best work. Dumb. It's all just so dumb.

Good. Its rubbish anyway

Karma for Dannii avoiding the Aus travel ban and dodging hotel quarantine

Thank God 🙏

davehughes just when i was beginning to enjoy your outfits 🍷😅

This is a stupid show.

Absolutely baffles me this show was even allowed to continue during a stage 4 lockdown. Real slap in the face to those who can’t have elective surgery, cannot visit family etc. can’t wait to hear Hughes crap on more about how lockdown is silly and life should be back to normal 🤦🏻‍♀️

Slow news day? This made the front page.

Maybe Melbchief could look into this after denigrating the Premier with his highly defamatory article?

Oh dear...we will never know who is behind the mask! Oh that’s right. Who cares!!

What is deemed essential in some people’s thoughts!!

Anything to do with this perhaps? Dannii Minogue was exempt from mandatory hotel quarantine.

How funny that a show that is reliant on wearing mandatory masks, can't go on because someone didn't wear a mask.

Thought they had masks on

Oh that’s awful hope everyone will be ok..

🥱

Well that was bound to happen 😷

Kick in the face to all victorians !!!! How was this legal How much more is going on ! Call the police to stop this . It is not necessary at all !!!

And Andrews closed markets and no single employees mowing lawns.........Just get rid of the fuckwit. 400 Dead says its time.

The fact this was allowed during Stage 4 is a complete kick in the face to the people of Melbourne who are sacrificing so much.

Production should have been suspended when L4 began. How is this “essential”?

It’s a good thing the singers wear a mask. 😷

This is the best thing

How were they in production?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I hope they enjoy thier house arrest.

We just keep pushing our luck....

Was Dannii Minogue specifically let back into the country during lockdowns for this? What a fucking waste of time. And money. And effort.

yeah. and the stars thought they're above us like dani

Oh the Irony... WearADamnMask

Irony.

Impossible. They were wearing masks.

Hey HYBPA how come UrzilaCarlson doesn’t get a mention in this? Is it payback because she’s never heard of Michael Bevan...

So there is a god

Masks don't work. 2020 is the funniest year on record.

How exactly was this still allowed to be in production? Elective surgery and important allied health are all cancelled but this rubbish is ‘essential’?

And they assured us that masks work...

Where is Danni isolating this time lol

Well I hope they're all OK but maybe Hughesy can stop bitching about Victorian lockdowns while he's in real iso now

DHughesy 👀
