Kate Langbroek has teased a potential radio reunion with her longtime drive show co-host Dave Hughes.
The comedian, 58, told the Herald Sun on Wednesday that she and Hughes, 52, had incredible chemistry together and she would be open to working with him again.
‘We’re full of love for each other and nothing is off the table for us,’ she began.
‘I love Hughesy. I’m not doing radio at the moment but I will always love radio because it’s such a natural medium for me.’
The pair co-hosted the long-running Hughesy and Kate show, which ran from 2001 until 2019, on the Hit network.

Dave remains on the air as co-host of 2Day FM’s Hughesy, Ed and Erin breakfast show, while Langbroek has been off the radio since October, when her The 3pm Pick Up drive show was axed from KIIS FM.
Back in March, Langbroek issued a lengthy apology after publicly exposing a gender pay gay dispute between herself and Hughes on The Project.
She claimed she earned 40 per cent less than Hughesy during their time hosting Hughesy & Kate on the Hit Network for almost two decades.
Clarifying her shock admission on Instagram, Langbroek said she hadn’t explained the full context of the situation due to the ‘time constraints’ of the Channel 10 show.
‘Nor did I explain that when he found out, Hughesy was mortified – properly shocked – and immediately sought to rectify the situation,’ she admitted.
‘I had already procured parity for myself, by the way, but his instincts were so honourable he offered instantly to take a pay cut,’ she added.
‘We’re full of love for each other and nothing is off the table for us. I love Hughesy. I’m not doing radio at the moment but I will always love radio because it’s such a natural medium for me,’ Kate said
‘He also vowed that from that point on, we would always negotiate together on the show we had built together, and we did, the following year, when we moved to SCA. Knowing that we could speak freely about our negotiations, and that we were treated as true equals at our new radio network was the best.’
Kate confessed that Hughes had been ‘hurt’ by her comments on The Project, which is why she felt the need to clarify them.
She also said that she and Hughes weren’t ‘estranged’ and that she was ‘mortified’ she had led people to believe that.
