Dicko Set To Make An Appearance In The Idyllic Fatty Boombah-Free World Of Ramsay Street

Australian Idol judge Dicko is going to be making many of his British friends jealous with news he’s making a cameo on Neighbours shortly. His role? A “hard-nosed, tough-talking music executive”. But of course.

“I don’t know why they cast me in that role,” the Australian Idol judge joked. His character is involved with the budding music careers of the roles played by Dean Geyer and Caitlin Stasey.

Good god. Does that mean we can expect more actual singles from the fictional characters appearing in the shops?

Dicko goes on to reveal his secret weapon when it comes to remembering his lines.

Dickson said he had always wanted a cameo on the Channel 10 soap and had voiced his thoughts a few months ago. To his surprise, the writers came through with the goods.

Dickson’s in three scenes and has been learning his 30 lines while working out on the treadmill.

That’s how Katherine Hepburn learned her lines, too. FACT.

Oh, and isn’t this a nice thing for a grown man to say about a teenage girl?

He reckons Mark Spano or Wes Carr will take this year’s title, though Chrislyn Hamilton, whom he called “fatty boombah”, was still an outside chance

It is a messed up world when Kyle Sandilands has become my favourite judge on Idol.
