‘It does sound a bit disease-y,’ she told radio hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, who both struggled to say her last name.
‘It’s Kal-if-ah-tee-diz in Greek and then, you know, we just say Kalluf-uh-tee-dus [in Australia].’
Kyle was amused by the Australian pronunciation, saying: ‘Kalifatidis, mate!’
