Mr Albanese has since contacted Ben Fordham saying he wasn’t drunk, and is in fact is currently doing an alcohol-free month.
He spoke to Ben to respond to the claims.
“It just shows, Hugh Riminton who started this to be frank, sent out a tweet without bothering to check… pretty unprofessional.

“And nothing could be further from the truth.”
