Trevor Marmalade eagerly waiting by the phone

Following reports of Eddie McGuire sensationally returning as host of The Footy Show, former barman and comedian Trevor Marmalade has high hopes of a return too.

Marmalade is said to have not left the side of his phone since news about McGuire filtered through this afternoon.

He has reportedly stocked up on supplies and ‘is in for the long hall’, refusing to move until that phone call from Channel Nine execs comes through.

“I went over to his crib and he is deadset on not moving,” a friend of Marmalade’s told the GFP.

“He’s sat next to one of those shitty wind-around house phones, cause just like his jokes, his home technology is stuck in the 1990’s.

“This whole scenario would probably be a lot easier if he had a mobile.

“Either way, that phone call ‘aint coming.”

Marmalade had a high-profile falling out with new/old/new Footy Show host McGuire, suggesting the media heavyweight was the reason behind his axing from the show.

If the move does happen, it could see the return of the bar to The Footy Show set, a concept that has been banished since Billy Brownless drank it dry in the early 2000s.
