Sunrise’s new co-host Matt “Shirvo” Shirvington squirmed in his chair Monday during an extremely crude interview with The Kyle And Jackie O Show.
The 44-year-old spoke to Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson shortly after being announced as David ‘Kochie’ Koch’s replacement live on Sunrise, but the conversation quickly moved from a family-friendly discussion about his career to a bawdy chat about his sex life.
Sandilands left Shirvo embarrassed when he cheekily asked the father of three how many sexual partners he has had.
“Oh my god, really?” replied Shirvo, who has been in a relationship with wife Jessica Shirvington since they were 17 years old.
“Well, I’ve been out of the game for 22 years, so it can’t be that many,” he added awkwardly.

Sandilands refused to let go of the subject, then asked if Shirvo had ever enjoyed a “slash and kill, rip and tear” phase, or if he was a “gentleman” with women.
“You know, some things you have to leave to the imagination, don’t you think?” Shirvo replied laughing.
Sandilands then brought up the infamous photo of Shirvo competing in the 1988 Commonwealth Games, which showed his big manhood in tight lycra.

“How big is your penis exactly in centimeters?” he asked bluntly.
‘Stop!’ Henderson scolded him, before telling Shirvo that Sandilands had a strange obsession with the former athlete’s genitals.
Again Shirvo did his best to dodge the question and replied, “Where do these questions come from?” I feel like they came from your audience, and then the third from you.’
Sandilands also brought up the infamous photo of Shirvo competing in the 1988 Commonwealth Games, which showed his great manliness in tight lycra. (Pictured during the 200m heat)
Undeterred, Sandilands again investigated, this time asking Shirvo to reveal his go-to sexual position.
Shirvo laughed and refused to answer.
Sandilands later joked that he would settle Australia’s breakfast TV wars by inviting Today presenter Karl Stefanovic to join Shrvo in a ‘dick’, in which the men would compare the size of their penises.

Karl just started laughing and said, ‘No, bro. Judging by that, I’ve already lost,” Kyle revealed

“It’s nice to have good colleagues from the industry, isn’t it?” Shirvo laughed.
Sandilands concluded the interview with his most intimate question yet: whether Shirvo had been circumcised.
Sandilands concluded the interview with his most intimate question yet: whether Shirvo had been circumcised. Shirvo, classy as ever, replied simply, “There are some things you need to do again. Leave it to the imagination, mate.’ (Image: Shirvington competing in the 200m semi-final at the 1998 Commonwealth Games)
‘A final question. Cut or uncut, mate?’ he asked.
‘Just get it [your penis] out, just do it. Tear off the plaster. There’s nothing wrong with saying “cut,” brother. If you have the hoodie, or if you have a belly, that’s fine,” he later added.
Shirvo, classy as ever, replied simply, “There are some things you need to do again. Leave it to the imagination, mate.’
Shirvo was confirmed to replace Kochie at Sunrise on Monday, following a three-year plan to prepare him for the top job
It was confirmed that Shirvo would replace Kochie at Sunrise on Monday, following a three-year plan to prepare him for the top job.
Shirvo said he had “mixed feelings” about the new gig as he sat on the couch with Barr and Kochie for the announcement.
‘Just fantastic. Discouraged. So excited. Cheerful. I cannot tell you what honor and privilege this is, especially Kochie. A huge job. A huge job. And an exciting job,” he said.
Both Kochie and Barr said they were delighted with the choice.
Shirvo will organize his first edition of Sunrise next Monday, June 12, together with Natalie.
