Ben Fordham’s wife leaks texts from children’s entertainer who failed to show up to daughter’s party

Channel Seven newsreader Jodie Speers has leaked text messages from a children’s entertainer who failed to show up to her daughter Pearl’s sixth birthday party.

Speers, 39, who is married to 2GB radio presenter Ben Fordham, hired the woman to host a Frozen-themed party for Pearl and her friends in character as Princess Anna.

But the entertainer failed to arrive at the 2:30pm start time, later explaining her car had broken down that morning.

What Speers found frustrating, however, was that she didn’t even bother to send a text explaining she wouldn’t be coming.

The journalist texted the Frozen impersonator at 2:50pm asking where she was, and received a frantic but vague reply several minutes later.

‘Hi, just wondering where you are! Pearl’s party started at 2:30,’ Speers wrote.

The entertainer responded: ‘Hi I am super sorry. I’ve broken dows [sic] with my car this morning and had a really bad time.’

Speers texted back: ‘Why didn’t you message us to let us know you weren’t coming?’

‘I’m sorry I didn’t think about it even,’ the woman wrote.

The mother of three posted a screenshot of the texts on Instagram on Sunday night, and said she would never hire a children’s entertainer again.

‘Last time I rely on a party entertainer! This [happened] as 14 little girls waited excitedly for Anna from Frozen to turn up,’ she captioned it.

Speers and Fordham, who is also a presenter for Channel Nine, married in 2011 and are parents to three children, Freddy, Pearl and Marigold.

She has hosted the Early News bulletin for Channel Seven since January 2016.
