Courtney Murphy
Today on the show we have Courtney Murphy who placed third on Idol in 2004. Courtney is the lead vocalist in his family band, Murphy's Lore which has been gigging around WA since 1991. Unlike many other Idol alum, Courtney has been able to support himself as a full time musician in Perth, despite the pressure to move to a bigger city. Mark & Katie chat with Courtney about how reality TV has changed and how Dicko helped him take the power back when being asked about his weight while on the show.
