Two Australian radio show hosts are in a little bit of trouble after they outed a cheating spouse who had signed up for AshleyMadison.com. This all started when a woman called in to see if her husband was on the list that was leaked by hackers. Of course, Fitzy and Wippa wanted to accommodate her questions.

Radio listeners have responded with anger after a Sydney woman was told live on air that her husband was registered with the Ashley Madison website for casual affairs.
Breakfast radio hosts Fitzy and Wippa put a call out on Thursday morning for any female listeners who suspected their partner might be cheating.
The Nova FM hosts offered to find out if the suspected person was registered with Ashley Madison by checking their email address against the data released by hackers this week.
Jo* from Blacktown phoned in because of her “snippy” husband.
“When that little thing came on the news about the Ashley Madison hack, he sort of went a bit funny,” Jo said. “I asked him straight out. He said, ‘Don’t be stupid. We’re married, we’ve got two kids.’”
She said his work hours had changed, he now kept his phone close by him and he could not account for some money. Jo gave her husband’s details to the radio program.
