“To be honest, Tony will be absolutely unbearable if he wins the Gold Logie,” he began.

Rowland added that he was prepared to deal with Tony’s inflated ego because he felt no one was more deserving of Australia’s most coveted television award than him.
“I’m willing to deal with this every morning because I honestly think he deserves the highest honor in television. And this is no joke,” he continued.
Rowland then shared a link to vote for Tony.
Armstrong has very good reason to hope to win the Gold Logie this year.
