Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli lashes out at the editing on The Celebrity Apprentice

Radio star Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli has claimed he’s the victim of bad editing this time on The Celebrity Apprentice, after his co-stars The Veronicas whinged about their portrayal. 

Speaking on his Nova radio show on Wednesday, the 41-year-old said that on Tuesday’s episode, he was made to look like he said he had gastro on air, when really he didn’t.  

Wippa played some sounds bites from the reality TV show that he claims is proof producers mashed his words together to change the context.   

‘I never said that!’ On his radio show on Wednesday, Nova star Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli lashed out at the editing on The Celebrity Apprentice – after The Veronicas slammed the show for their ‘villainous’ portrayal

‘When people go on reality TV shows and complain about the edit and everyone goes, “edit edit edit” and they say “but you said it” and it was taken out of context,’ he began. 

‘Last night there was an edit that was done on me where it made me sound like I said I had gastro, I never ever said I had gastro, in fact I said, “they said it could be gastro, I don’t have gastro.”

He went on, playing a sound bite from the show that aired that made him say, ‘I’m pretty sure I have gastro,’ which were mashed together from different audio segments. 

Of all things! Speaking on his Nova radio show on Wednesday, the 41-year-old said that on Tuesday's episode, he was made to look like he said he had gastro on air, when really he didn't

‘Have a listen to the edit here where they take the part where I said “I don’t have gastro” and they just took the gastro line and put it on the end of another sentence,’ Wippa said, as his co-host Fitzy laughed.  

It comes after The Veronicas duo Jess and Lisa Origliasso have vented their frustrations over the editing on The Celebrity Apprentice. 

They have publicly criticised Nine on several occasions for what they perceive to be sensationalist editing techniques. 

Last week, they posted an open letter to social media in which they accused producers of hiring them under false pretences. 

‘You signed us up for your show under the guise of charity and heart,’ they wrote.

‘Our genuine intentions and passion reduced to an edit – portraying us strong-arming other team members and outwardly using our mother’s condition for sympathy is disgusting’ they added.

Lisa and Jessica’s mother, Colleen, has Lewy body dementia and a rare neurological condition called progressive supranuclear palsy. 

The sisters, who are carers for their mum, are appearing on Celebrity Apprentice to raise money for The Brain Foundation.

Their open letter continued: ‘It was you who constantly asked us to reiterate our charity and why we were there and you turn around and weaponise our words and our mummy’s name – turning them into a knife used to stab us in the heart.

‘Shame on you.’ 

‘What you have done to us is gut wrenching, soul destroying and the lowest thing you could ever do to us as women, daughters and carers,’ they added.

‘You have used us at the most fragile time in our lives. This was never a game to us, this is our reality we were fighting for.’

After a fight with co-star Camilla Franks was aired on the show last week, they lashed out on Twitter at the show for depicting them as ‘entitled brats.’ 

They wrote: ‘The fact you edited out all the facts, so we become entitled brats – expecting favours and using our mum’s condition for benefit is truly the lowest you could have gone. I hope you pay your editors well for the souls they sell.

‘The fact they have edited this to seem like emotional manipulation and blackmailing people for sympathy is awful. Being gaslit on an edit over something so close to our hearts is beyond comprehension.

‘We are grateful there was money made for all the charities involved.’ 

They wrote: 'The fact you edited out all the facts, so we become entitled brats - expecting favours and using our mum's condition for benefit is truly the lowest you could have gone. I hope you pay your editors well for the souls they sell'
