Melbourne-based radio star shocks fans as he quits leading breakfast show after seven years: 'I'm at the end of what I can give'
A Melbourne radio star is stepping away from his top-rating breakfast show after seven years behind the microphone. Jack Post, 37, who has made a name for himself on The Christian O'Connell Show on Gold FM, quit the program on Monday morning in an emotional Instagram post. Jack shared a slew of snaps from his time on the show, including one of him playing a guitar in the studio with Christian O'Connell and another with his wife Bianca and son Gordon. Telling fans that it was one of the 'hardest decisions' he had ever had to make, the radio host revealed the reason why he was calling his time on the popular breakfast program. 'I love this show deeply, and it has given me so much. But there is something in my gut telling me it's time to close this chapter and write the next one,' he wrote in the caption. 'When I left radio with Hamish & Andy in 2017, I honestly didn't know what was next for me then — but I had an excitement and giddiness for the thrill of what it could be. He added: 'I'm so happy it turned out to be The Christian O'Connell Show. 'It's time to step away again, make space, and see what's next,' he shared. Jack said that he was grateful for the listeners who tuned in for the morning show over the years. 'Thank you to each and every listener who chooses this as their breakfast show. 'I love talking to you in the mornings, I love meeting you on the street — don't stop saying hello,' he wrote. The radio star then went on to thank his colleagues at the station, particularly Christian, who he said had been on of the 'most profound relationships of my life'. 'It is the defining friendship of my 30s, and his impact on me will last forever. 'I've so much more to say about him, but for now I will simply say: I love you, mate. Thank you for everything.' The Christian O'Connell Show also posted a clip of the host talking about his exit from Gold FM. 'Jack Post leaving the show this Friday,' Christian announced in the segment. 'I don't know what to say,' Jack replied with tears in his eyes. He added: 'It's been an amazing period of my life and in some ways surreal to say goodbye to it, but I can't tell you how much it means that you guys have been supportive, accepting, understanding of this decision and I'm going to miss you so much.' 'It scares me, it terrifies me but it also excites me and fills me with joy,' he added with a shaky voice. He went on to say that many people in his life, including his parents, couldn't understand why he was walking away from the radio gig, but said that he felt 'comfortable' and 'calm' waiting for 'whatever is next'. 'Sometimes it does feel like running a marathon and I'm just at the end of what I can give and run for this show, even though I love it so much.' Jack made headlines in 2022 after opening up about his debilitating struggle with post-natal depression that left him 'crying uncontrollably' on the floor every night. The Australian radio producer shared his story with his co-host Christian on his daily radio show for RUOK Day sharing the 'shame and guilt' he felt after he and his wife Bianca welcomed their son Gordon six months prior. He said he was 'embarrassed' about being a dad with post-natal depression but has improved his mental state in just a few short months after being open and honest about his feelings with himself and family and friends. 'It started when my son was born in March, and you remember how giddy I was during the pregnancy. I was so excited for him. I couldn't wait. I felt like I was across everything,' Jack told his co-host. 'I felt like I did 10/10 job of being a husband right up to the birth and then something changed after he was born, and it was really strange.' While Jack was excited Gordon has arrived safe and healthy and Bianca was well, the 'crazy amount of love' everyone was telling him he would feel for his new baby didn't come. 'I felt guilt and shame of bringing this little guy into the world who I am meant to love so much, and I can't feel that for I love him so much but that didn't come for three months,' he said fighting back tears. 'I went through what is called a post-natal depression, something I didn't even know new fathers could get. I thought it was something we had to be worried for Bianca as I know there is a high rate of post-natal depression in new mums, and I was the one feeling it.' Jack said some nights he would sit alone on the floor of Gordon's nursery with his head between his knees 'crying uncontrollably'. 'I felt Bianca was the one who did all the work, she brought him into the world, she went through the pregnancy, and I am the one who has depression and is crying on the floor. I felt so much guilt and shame and embarrassment about that,' he said.

Radio star quits top-rated breakfast show
A beloved radio star has quit Melbourne's number one FM breakfast show. Jack Post, who co-hosts Gold FM's The Christian O'Connell Show, broke the news to listeners on Monday morning. 'It has been one of the hardest decisions I've had to make in my life,' Post wrote on Instagram. 'I love this show deeply, and it has given me so much. But there is something in my gut telling me it's time to close this chapter and write the next one. 'It's time to step away again, make space, and see what's next,' he wrote. Discussing his decision on air, Post said he has no idea what he'll do for work when he co-hosts the radio show for the final time this Friday. 'There is no plan … and it scares me, terrifies me, but it also excites me and fills me with joy,' he said on Gold FM. 'I think I have to say goodbye, breathe some space into my life away from this radio show and see what comes next and what creative energy returns to me.' Post said the brutal hours of breakfast radio contributed to his decision. 'Sometimes when you pull back, the whole thing does feel like an endurance challenge, day after day, week after week, year after year, doing these hours,' he said. 'Sometimes it does feel like running a marathon, and I'm just at the end of what I can give and run for this show, even though I love it so much.' O'Connell praised Post for his brave decision. 'To actually have the real courage to listen to your own life and what it's asking of you, most of us at various times don't listen to that calling, we've denied it for a bit, but you actually did slow down and really did listen to that calling and you've taken a huge decision for you.' Post, who was previously heard on Hamish and Andy's radio show, has been a part of The Christian O'Connell Show since it began seven years ago. 'Knowing Christian has been one of the most profound relationships of my life,' Post wrote on Instagram. 'It is the defining friendship of my 30s, and his impact on me will last forever. I've so much more to say about him, but for now I will simply say: I love you, mate. Thank you for everything.'

Emotional Georgia Love opens up about split from husband Lee Elliott for the first time
An emotional Georgia Love has opened up for the first time about her split from husband Lee Elliott, admitting she's been 'really sad, feeling like I've let people down.' The reality TV star and journalist first met Elliott during the 2016 season of The Bachelorette and tied the knot five years later. They announced their separation in February this year, following months of speculation. Love, 35, opened up about the decision to part ways in an interview with Kate Langbroek on Mamamia's No Filter podcast this week. 'I don't want to feel like I've let anyone down, which is so silly because it's not about anyone else, it's about us,' she said tearfully. 'People have been so wonderful following our story since the start and so many say they look at our relationship and it gives them hope. I've been really sad feeling like I've let people down.' Love added that the scrutiny prior to their announcement had compounded her distress. 'It was very hard at the end of last year with all the speculation about whether we had split. It was hard while I was trying to come to terms with what was happening,' she explained. 'Lee and I made the decision together but it doesn't mean it makes me happy. It doesn't, I'm really sad about it.' The GoldFM newsreader, who lost her mother to pancreatic cancer shortly after her season of The Bachelorette aired, also explained to Langbroek that the breakdown of her marriage had plunged her into 'a period of loss and grief again'. However, Love insisted that after going through 'big things' in their almost-decade together, the pair had 'a deep love and respect for each other'. 'I hope we always will. I never expected to be here,' she said. The former couple released a joint statement in February, confirming news of their split to fans. 'After nine wonderful years together, including four as husband and wife, [we] have made the incredibly difficult decision to lovingly part ways,' it read. 'Our relationship has been so special and we will always cherish the memories, love, and laughter we've shared. 'There is no drama, no bad blood. Just two people who have grown in different directions while still holding deep respect and care for each other. 'We remain friends and we'd really appreciate our privacy as we navigate this next stage. Thank you.'
