Ian 'Dicko' Dickson, as we came to know him, landed in Australia with long hair, an English accent and more than a few opinions. However, with a fabulous sense of humour and oodles of charisma his positives outweighed any negatives.

He was the so-called 'nasty judge' on Australian Idol but very quickly resonated so deeply with his audience and he quickly became one of the most sort after television personalities over the last 20 years.

It is probably a good point to mention my admiration for this man, as I certainly appreciate his raw, unfiltered points of view. Especially in a world where people don’t often tell you their truth.

Today we will talk about Holey Moley and why he said yes to dressing as a pirate for the newest show on Channel Seven. We also have an honest conversation about television. Plus I will find out if Channel Seven has actually asked him to return to the upcoming reboot of Australian Idol in 2022!
