Morning Show host Larry Emdur has reignited an old ‘feud’ with TV veteran Rove McManus.
The 50-year-old favourite for the Gold Logie admitted he “didn’t like” Rove during an appearance on 2Day’s Hughesy, Ed and Erin show on Wednesday.
Larry made the admission when he was challenged to take a lie detector test.
Host Dave “Hughesy” Hughes began the segment by reminding Larry that he had “famously” had “clashes” with Rove, 50, over the years.
After asking the Channel Seven star if he “disliked” Rove, Larry firmly replied “No.”
But unfortunately for Larry, the lie detector came back with a resounding “Yes.”
After failing the test for the second time, Larry insisted, “I love Rove.”
Later in the segment, Larry suggested that he failed the lie detector because there was something wrong with the machine.

“I guess the machine was broken,” he joked. “Did they buy it second-hand on Gumtree?”
“No, look, I love Rove. I love all of his Instagram posts. That’s love,” she continued.
He later explained that the gaffe may have been the result of Larry footing Rove’s bill after the couple recently enjoyed a night out together.

‘You know what I think happened? Rove and I had dinner about a month ago, and you know those QR codes (used to pay the bill)?’
“There was no opportunity to split the bill and I think there was some resentment about that,” he joked.
Dave admitted that he had tried to get Rove to appear on the segment to get his reaction.
But the media veteran declined the offer after returning to the country from abroad the previous night.
“That’s not a good excuse,” Larry replied, adding, “I think there’s a problem now.”
‘He (Rove) loves the Irwin family and of course young Robert (Irwin) is a Logie contender in the same category as me.
‘So I think Rove has some problems now.’
Larry and Rove, who have been friends for more than a decade, often play pranks on each other.

In 2016, Rove challenged the Channel Seven personality to spar with him on his 2Day FM breakfast show, facing off over three rounds on the station’s rooftop.
The fight, which Larry won, had been proposed as the only way to end the long ironic feud between the two.
Rove rose to fame in 1999 with his eponymous talk show on Channel 9. His company Roving Enterprises currently produces Channel 10’s The Project.
