Larry Emdur has created a stir on live TV after revealing the real reason behind his absence on The Morning Show on Tuesday.
The star was a no-show on the Channel 7 show just 24 hours after the Logies, leaving co-host Kylie Gillies to say she “seriously” had no idea where he was.

But Larry cleared the mystery up with a bizarre explanation that left the Sunrise panel and Kylie in stitches.
In a cross to Sunrise stars Nat Barr, Matt Shirvington, Edwina Bartholomew and Mark Beretta, Larry claimed that he’d been “kidnapped” by Dr Chris Brown after the Logies.
“Well, truth be known – Dr Chris Brown kidnapped me and kept me locked in a cage in his garage,” he said.
“He was testing various moisturisers and alike. It was a weird experiment.”
A panicked Nat responded: “I don’t know if you can say that!”
However Larry doubled down, saying: “He’s not the nice guy we all think he is, that’s all I’m saying.”
Kylie then stepped in to say that she had in fact rescued Larry.
“Lucky I just happened to be swinging by Chris’s place and found him,” Kylie said.
“That’s the surprise!” Larry laughed. “Kylie’s got the security codes! What a coincidence!”
Nat then cast doubt on Larry’s comments, saying: “We sat next to Chris Brown at the Logies, he was so nice until you made him seem weird.”
However Larry responded: “I just don’t want everyone thinking he’s a nice guy. There he is living with Kylie in a nurse’s outfit with locked cages.
“50 Shades of Brown is the name of the movie.”
Nat then told Larry to “stop now”, before adding: “He did seem nice, though.”
Larry added: “They always do, Nat!”
The host’s final words prompted the Sunrise crew to break out into fits of laughter.
On Tuesday, Matt Doran filled in for Larry on The Morning Show after his surprise no-show.
While discussing his whereabouts, Shirvo said he was “very curious to find out where Larry was”.
Nat responded: “Yes, so is the boss!”
