Attention Cupid! Todd McKenney Would Like To Meet Someone Special

Fellas who love fellas who love partying without trousers should get very excited, because Dancing With The Stars host Todd McKenney has told the papers he’s looking for love.

Here’s an excerpt from a Q&A in the Herald Sun.

As far as unfulfilled ambitions go, what are the most immediate things on your agenda?

I want to be in a relationship. I’ve been single for three years. I’m ready to find a partner. I don’t know how.

How is it difficult?

For someone like me . . . I don’t pick people up. And people don’t pick me up. I think because people know who you are it makes it a little difficult sometimes. They think they can’t come up and talk to you. And I’m quite shy. I know that sounds ridiculous. Also, the hours I work are impossible. Another (ambition) . . . is I’d love to have a go at a Graham Norton-style television show, a free-form TV show using the public. I’d also love to do another straight play.

The business about having a baby (with Sonia): she hasn’t given you an answer?

I’m not expecting one. I don’t think she knew if I was serious or not.

Now listen, lads/ladies who think they’re charming enough to convince Todd McKenney to subscribe to Vagina Hunters Monthly – I’m about to give you some insider goss. I actually met Todd and Sonia last month when they were down in Melbourne because they pre-recorded an interview with me for their MIX 106.5FM breakfast show. I have a feeling my brief chat with them was eventually scrapped in favour of a talk back topic regarding same sex attracted pets (I can now add Gay Alaskan Malamute to the ever-growing and emotionally crushing list of Things I Cannot Compete With) but I’ll never actually know because I am in Melbourne and the show is in Sydney, and I cannot expect my beloved mother to spend three hours a day with her ear pressed against the wireless on the off chance she gets to hear her daughter call Todd McKenney a “pants off party king” to his face.

ANYWAY. What was I saying? Ah yes. I met Sonia and Todd (STATION) and can I just say… Todd is smoking hot, boys. Seriously. I don’t think television or print does him justice. He dresses wonderfully, he’s funny and charming, and did I mention he’s a great big dirty spunk? Honestly. I walked away slightly troubled by how truly star-crossed our love would be.

So if you are a single dude who likes your men fiercely handsome, capable of foxtrotting, and occasionally crucified in the press for being a cartoonish villain who likes nothing more than picking on the disabled, then Todd needs you to come up and talk to him if you see him out and about. Don’t be shy!

Now that I’ve given you the heads up about Todd’s spunkiness (for realsies, readers – he’s swoon material), I should probably also mention Sonia is also freakishly stunning in the flesh. The other day I read she was 43 and fainted from shock. If she hadn’t been a thousand different kinds of friendly and charming during our brief time together, I would probably hate her, or at least publicly accuse her of bathing in the blood of virgins, Elizabeth Báthory style, in a fiendish plan to stay eternally youthful.
