Wood, Holmes ‘fine’ after talk

Presenter Susan Wood says she and Paul Holmes were "fine" after she phoned him over comments he made on his show to leave him out of her "nasty money rows".

Wood mentioned Holmes' "considerable" TVNZ expenses at an Employment Relations Authority hearing on Thursday where she is fighting an attempt by TVNZ bosses to cut her $450,000 salary by $100,000.

An offended Holmes ended his Prime show on Thursday night predicting Wood would be "humiliated" but if she won "she'll be cursed by the public for being greedy".

He signed off: "Oh, and memo to Susan: you lived very well on my name for a long time. You enjoyed what I hope was generous hospitality at my wedding. Please leave me out of your nasty money rows."

Last night Wood said she had patched up her quarrel with Holmes.
