Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli has revealed that his snoring almost caused a fight with another man while he was in hospital after his daughter was rushed to the ER.
Speak with Nine honey On Friday, the Nova FM radio star explained that his daughter Francesca, three, recently suffered complications from having a tonsil removed and had to go to the emergency room.
Wippa said he ended up annoying other families who shared the same room as him after he fell asleep and started snoring loudly.
“(A man said) ‘Oh mate, we got so angry that night until we realized it was you,’” Wippa said.
“We listen to the show, we’re from Wollongong and all the stories are true. You’re a terrible snorer. It was like a train was driving through the hospital.’

Wippa and wife Lisa rushed Francesca to hospital after Lisa noticed she was swallowing a lot.
“Lisa had read in the information that if they are in bed and start swallowing a lot, there is a good chance that they will bleed from the back,” Wippa said.
“So Lisa says, ‘I think she might be bleeding,’ so I go upstairs and we turn on the light, and there’s blood everywhere!” So Lisa has a panic attack and I say, ‘I’ll take care of this.’
The couple called an ambulance and Francesca was immediately sent to hospital.
Speaking to Nine Honey on Friday, the Nova FM radio star explained that his daughter Francesca, three, (pictured) recently suffered complications from having a tonsil removed and had to go to the emergency room.
The youngster is now on the mend after a short stay in hospital.
Wippa previously spoke about his suspected sleep apnea during an interview with Body+Soul in April.
Lisa explained that the couple started sleeping in separate bedrooms even though their children were smaller as a result.
“Now I love it so much I can’t go back,” she told the publication.
Wippa is currently undergoing tests for sleep apnea, which he is also currently undergoing, with Lisa saying he will “probably end up (sleeping) in a Darth Vader mask.”

“I would much rather have him be a healthy version of himself than have him have a brain aneurysm from the lack of oxygen,” she said.
Sleep apnea occurs when a person’s throat becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep.
It is treated using a continuous positive airway pressure pump (CPAP), which delivers pressurized air into a face mask to keep the person’s throat open while they sleep.
In November, Lisa and Wippa talked about their sleeping problems.
The mother-of-three revealed she was left exhausted when their daughter Francesca struggled to sleep.
“She didn’t know how to settle down. We would have to lie on the floor and hold her hand until she fell asleep,” Lisa said.
‘I did that four or five times a night. It’s constantly living as half a version of yourself. I looked in the mirror and thought: I am a shell of myself.’
Wippa has been married to Lisa for nine years. Together they share three children, sons Theodore, eight, and Jack, six, and daughter Francesca, three.
