FOR Adam Densten, growing up in Corowa meant summer days spent on rope swings, fishing, riding tyre tubes down the river, camping and craying before winter rolled around and he would play any number of sports. “We were outdoors all the time back then, I loved the freedom of it,” Adam said. “I was really sporty - footy, tennis, golf, cricket, swimming, whatever, it was right up my alley to be playing sports any time of the year and as well as playing footy for Corowa/Rutherglen, I also spent time playing with the Wang Maggies. “I went to Galen College in Wangaratta for my secondary education so I got to know the Three Chain Road pretty well too.” Adam’s love of the outdoors and sports no doubt led to his decision to choose a career as a physiotherapist, and he still manages to work full-time alongside his television and radio commitments. “I certainly have a lot going on, but I’m good at multitasking. “I’m working full-time as a physio in Melbourne, planning a wedding, doing a podcast with Symon (Lovett) and we’re working as hard as possible behind the scenes to make things happen for ourselves. “Symon and I would love to host radio and TV shows and we love to do stuff together where people can have a laugh along with us or at us. “We’re more than happy to be the jesters.” The pair get recognised fairly often, but they’re often asked if they went to school with the recogniser’s child or children or if they work at the local Bunnings. But for those who are familiar with the television show Gogglebox Australia or I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here, Adam and Symon will be instantly recognisable. “It’s a funny story as to how we got involved with Gogglebox,” Adam said.
