Talk about a hairy situation. Zac Efron (probably) went where no movie star has gone before when he succeeded in giving Australian rugby star Beau Ryan a full body wax.

The Australian former sports star, who quit the television series when he was involved in a sex scandal three years ago, was reportedly offered more than $$500,000 (£338,635) per season to rejoin the panel.

Johns said on his radio show: "They said, 'We're going to reinvent the show', but for me, it's not going to be reinvented. I don't want to go back to the past. I [enjoyed] my time on that show... but it's going to be the same show and I've been there and done that." His friend and manager John Singleton said that The Footy Show would not succeed (more)...
