Joins Flan, Emily Jade & Christo. 

Swimming star Brooke Hanson  will join Flan and Christo weekday mornings from 5am, while Emily Jade takes maternity leave.

As a Gold Coaster and no stranger to early alarms after years of swimming training, Hanson is looking forward to taking on the early time-slot. 

“After years of 4am wakeup calls in the quest for Olympic glory, I look forward to the new challenge of early starts for breakfast radio with Flan & Christo while Emily Jade is away, I can’t wait to connect with the Gold Coast each morning on Hot Tomato,” said Hanson.

“I’m thrilled Brooke has agreed to fly the flag for me during my maternity leave,” said Emily Jade O’Keefe.

“She is going to rock being on air, and I can’t thank her enough for setting the 4am alarms, and spending mornings with two of the best people I know, Flan and Christo.”

Graham Miles, 1029 Hot Tomato’s Chief Executive Officer, said: 
“We are delighted that Brooke will be joining the Hot Tomato on-air line-up soon. She is a true champion both in and out of the pool, and a perfect stand-in to keep Flan and Christo afloat in Emily Jade’s absence. I would also like to wish Emily Jade, her husband Gerard all the best for the arrival of their new child and sibling for Millie Valentine.”
