Hamish Blake revealed on The Mitch Churi Chat Show that he sleeps in the spare room of his house. He said the arrangement is due to noise management issues.

Why it matters

The disclosure offers a candid glimpse into the private domestic arrangements of a well-known Australian entertainer. It also reflects a practical approach some couples take to sleep and household routines.

The disclosure was made in a self-reported interview rather than through any formal record. The Hamish and Andy radio show, which the stub places as ending in 2017, is the only dated reference point in the account.

The players

Hamish Blake

Australian radio and television presenter best known as one half of the comedy duo Hamish and Andy.

The Mitch Churi Chat Show

Australian interview program on which Blake made the disclosure while promoting his work.

The details

Timeline

  1. 2017: The Hamish and Andy radio show ended.

  2. 12 November 2026: Blake revealed the bedroom arrangement on The Mitch Churi Chat Show.

Career Context

The comments come after the end of the Hamish and Andy radio show in 2017, a period in which Blake has pursued solo television work such as Unskilled Adult. The interview also referenced a radio executive's earlier suggestion to add a female co-host to the show.

Couples who share a home but have different sleep needs may find separate rooms a practical option for managing noise. The disclosure shows that such arrangements are a workable choice rather than a sign of trouble in a relationship.

The takeaway

Separate sleeping spaces can be a practical solution to noise and sleep disruption without signalling a problem in a relationship. Couples can discuss sleep needs openly to find an arrangement that suits both partners.
