Kate Langbroek and David Hughes were a radio powerhouse for years before Langbroek decided to leave.
She revealed the reason why she left on her new radio show The 3 pm Pick-Up.
The 55-year-old said that the pair’s “divorce” was a long time coming.
‘It was a big thing, but he knew it was coming for a long time because I had pre-empted [a move to Italy],’ she told co-hosts Monty Diamond and Yumi Stynes.
‘He kept saying to me: ”What are you going to do all day”,’ Kate said. ‘I’m like, my dream, my dream is nothingness.’
Kate went on to call Dave one of the most ‘significant men in her life’.
‘Apart from my husband he was the most significant man in my life. And it has been like a marriage, and now like a divorce,’ she said.
Kate also revealed that the pair wouldn’t be getting back together anytime soon as she didn’t want to uproot her family after returning home from Italy.
‘We had conversations about that but I couldn’t say to the kids, yeah we’re coming back to Australia, guess what we’re moving to Sydney,’ she explained.
Hughesy also tried to get Kate back on the show, but said she’s got “different priorities”.
“Kate is, we were trying to get Kate involved in this show, but she’s got different priorities and that’s fair enough. So, Kate was definitely in the mix…
“There was an offer for Kate, but she [didn’t take it]. We still speak. I’m going to see her tonight. We still talk a lot and text a lot, and yea, nah, she got a sweet gig. To be honest, she got a sweet gig. 3PM Pick Up is a sweet gig….
“She knows that, but yea, I love Kate and she loves me, I believe, so we will continue to be great friends, and who knows what happens in the future,” he told Radio Today ahead of the launch of his Breakfast show.
