Simon Hill accused of “cricket-fuelled chaos” in Turkiye
While Bunny Majaja hops around London’s museums in a cowboy hat, her HOT 1027 Breakfast co-host Simon Hill has been indulging in a very different kind of cultural experience — from all-you-can-eat buffets to beachside golf battles in Turkiye.
Parky caught up with Simon live from the Turkish coast, where he and his wife Megan have been soaking up the sun (and, reportedly, several teapots’ worth of souvenirs). From Istanbul’s ancient sites to a resort in Belek, Simon described a holiday full of history, haggling, and affordable draughts — but admitted he may have gone overboard with some of the local purchases. “A soap salesman got me. A teapot salesman got me. I’m an idiot,” he confessed.
The conversation took a competitive turn when Megan revealed she’d convincingly beaten Simon at golf — a fact he begrudgingly confirmed, albeit claiming partial credit for “fixing her putting stroke.”

Listen to Simon’s call to HOT 1027 Breakfast below:
But the real drama unfolded shortly after the call, when Parky received a bizarre complaint from a Turkish “hotel manager” named Savash. The call — painted Simon as the resort’s most eccentric guest: sleeping at the bar, hoarding buffet fish in Tupperware, and allegedly yelling “Aussies can kiss my ginger ass” after South Africa’s cricket victory.
Listen as HOT 1027 Breakfast gets an unexpected call from Turkiye:
While Simon may be denying Bunny’s museum claims, it seems the real investigation needs to happen in Belek — where a mountain of Turkish Delight and suspiciously empty buffet trays point to a trail only one man could leave.
One thing’s certain: Hill’s return to Joburg next week will come with stories, souvenirs, and possibly a stern letter from hotel management.
