MINI: Alex's Last Day May 31, 2026

Show notes

This morning on Christian O'Connell show, after a year of juggling two jobs and raising three young children, Alex has made the difficult decision to leave the show to focus on his family.

It's clear that Alex will be deeply missed, but the decision to prioritize family is completely understood and respected. The team has been grateful for the time they've had with Alex, who has been a kind and loving presence.

"I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time on the Christian O’Connell show and the last year juggling three young children and two jobs has been chaotic, exhausting and a lot of fun.
Working with Christian and the team has been a joy and a privilege, but the grind of holding down two jobs at both ends of the day was proving too much and something had to give. So, I’ve decided the time is right to put the early morning alarm clock away for a while, and concentrate my efforts on my TV roles and very energetic young family.
Thank you to Christian and the team for the laughs and thank you to our wonderful audience who tune in every day. It’s been an honour.
I wish Christian, Rio, Pats and the team all the very best in their continued success, and will listen on with the fondest of memories."
