Dave 'Hughesy' Hughes braves the cold as he goes for a swim with his wife Holly and their children in Melbourne

On Father's Day, Dave 'Hughesy' Hughes took his family to the beach in Melbourne, despite the chilly temperatures. The comedian, aged 53, donned a pair of shorts and joined his wife Holly and their three children—Rafferty, 15, Sadie, 13, and Tess, 11—for a swim. The windy weather did not deter the family, who enjoyed quality time together in the water. After swimming, Hughesy wrapped himself in a quirky blue towel adorned with Dachshunds and sported fashionable bone-coloured Crocs with charms. This family outing came on the heels of Hughesy's recent frustrations regarding an apparent snub from the Logies, where he expressed his disappointment over not receiving an invitation despite having hosted the event multiple times. His on-air rant highlighted his feelings of being overlooked, as he had presented for twenty years and hosted the event four times in a row. Additionally, Hughesy faced a challenging year as his breakfast show on 2DayFM came to an end due to declining ratings and commitment issues among the team members. The decision to step back was made with a heavy heart, as the team acknowledged the support they received from their listeners and the growth in audience numbers over the years. Overall, the beach outing served as a moment of joy for Hughesy and his family amidst the professional challenges he has faced recently, showcasing the importance of family time in balancing personal and public life.
