- Brownless was employed by Nine for 27 years
- Has been concentrating on his radio work
Footy identity Billy Brownless is poised to make a shock TV comeback – but it isn’t with Channel Nine, where he was employed for 27 years.
Brownless, 58, will join the likes of Brian Taylor, Matthew Richardson, Rebecca Maddern, Andy Maher and Robert ‘Dipper’ DiPierdomenico in commentary for the Legends Game for Prostate Cancer at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on August 28.
It comes after Brownless – who left Channel Nine’s Footy Show in 2021 – revealed earlier this month his kids were horrified by his now infamous viral skinny-dipping stunt.
One of his children, Ruby, even went as far as calling him a ‘d***head’ after seeing the confronting image online.
The former Geelong star was celebrating his first anniversary with his girlfriend Crystle Fleur, with the pair heading off on a romantic tour of Western Australia.
While the pair kept their followers updated on the trip, posting some cute pictures of the getaway on social media, Brownless shocked fans after publishing a picture of himself swimming naked in a pool at the Cable Beach Club in Broome.

Brownless, a father-of-four, revealed that it was his girlfriend who instigated the photo opportunity while he was enjoying a casual dip in the pool.
Not surprisingly, the presenter of Triple M’s Rush Hour alongside James Brayshaw attracted plenty of comments for the risqué picture.
One included a message from footy legend Chris Judd’s wife Bec, who had been on holiday with a group of family and friends at the same location.
‘Hahahaha. Nice seeing you. Glad you had some clothes on (this time),’ she joked.
Collingwood premiership winner Dale Thomas, who now works on Channel 7’s footy coverage, joked: ‘Reverse angle is a Nirvana album cover,’ in reference to the band’s breakthrough album cover Nevermind.
Meanwhile, the highly anticipated State of Origin clash between Victoria and the All Stars is named in honour of football legend E.J Whitten, who passed away from prostate cancer in 1995.
The event aims to raise awareness and funds through the Australian Prostate Centre.
Hawthorn great Luke Hodge will captain Victoria, with Tim Watson as coach, while St Kilda legend Nick Riewoldt is tipped to skipper the All Stars, who will be overseen by Shane Crawford.
Former Hawthorn star Cyril Rioli will lace up his footy boots for the upcoming rebooted Legends Game, with Gary Ablett Jr also expected to feature.
