Ray Hadley has quashed rumours that he has Covid-19 two days after an explosive on-air interview with NSW Premier where he confronted Dominic Perrottet over claims he called him a Covid 'bedwetter'.
Listeners called in expressing fears for the radio broadcaster's health after he appeared to sound under the weather during Ben Fordham's 2GB breakfast program on Wednesday.
Hadley was quick to end rumours on his morning show shortly afterwards, assuring listeners he simply had a cold.
'I'm clear of Covid - I just have a common ordinary tickle in the throat - fear not, I'm not infecting anyone,' Hadley told listeners.

'Even if it turns out I do, I will continue to work, it will just be in a confined space somewhere.'
His 2GB colleague also addressed the feedback a short time before Hadley replaced him on-air.
'He is very conscious. So no, he doesn't have Covid,' Fordham explained.
'He has a few other issues including a bit of a sniffle I think'.
A day earlier, Hadley's social media team was forced to disable comments on his Facebook page after he confronted the NSW Premier over allegedly badmouthing the shock jock behind his back.
Appearing on Hadley's 2GB morning program on Monday, Mr Perrottet denied he was referring to people like Hadley when he said he would not 'give in to the bedwetters' by re-introducing Covid restrictions.
'I don't know where that's come from, I haven't made those comments in cabinet at all,' Mr Perrottet responded.
Hadley responded that people had told him Mr Perrottet had called 'people like me' bedwetters after a few drinks at a pre-Christmas function.
'Ray, I have no recollection of that,' Mr Perrottet responded.
