Another Nine star investigated for payment from Mr Lambo - as Alex Cullen and his shattered wife resurface after he was dropped over $50k gift... and insiders reveal his bold plans for a comeback

Following Cullen's dismissal, our source says Cam volunteered to Nine management that he'd won a bet with Portelli, who earned his famous nickname by turning up at one of the Block auctions in a Lamborghini.

The scandal kicked off when Portelli, tired of his long-used nickname 'Mr Lambo', offered a cash reward to the first person to use his new, preferred moniker, 'McLaren Man', on air, with Cullen obliging on the Today show.
