Grimshaw wrote on her Twitter page: "Dear Mike Willesee. Hearty welcome back. But "no interviews on commercial TV now"? There have been a few, actually!" Veteran journalist and former Logie Award winner Willesee announced earlier this week that he is making his comeback to television on Seven Network show Sunday Night.
