Nova host Joel Creasey has stumbled into unexpected viral territory; not from a radio snippet, but from a supportive comment on a mum influencer’s TikTok.

Creasey has been following a US-based content creator who documents cooking three meals a day from scratch for her family of eight.

When the creator shared a rare McDonald’s run for her son’s birthday and copped criticism from commenters calling her a ‘terrible mum,’ Creasey jumped in to defend her.

His comment has since racked up over 8,000 likes, which prompted him to joke it’s “the most viral I’ve ever gone” in 20 years of broadcasting.

The Joel Creasey Show can be heard from 1pm to 2pm on the Nova Network nationally. Listeners can stream the show live or catch up with the daily podcast by downloading the Nova Player.
