The former AFL star is no stranger to the headlines, having built a career on his constant controversial remarks.

He made headlines in June after calling George Floyd, a key figure in the Black Lives Matter movement, a 'piece of s**t'.

The former Geelong player appeared on the Sacked: Showbiz podcast in October and said he had become accustomed to being criticised for his brash perspectives.

'The cancel culture kicked in and I got cancelled. The sponsors got a bit edgy... and I said if you want me to disassociate myself then I'm happy to do that,' he told the podcast.

Newman also revealed that his controversial demeanour on the Footy Show had previously landed him in trouble with Channel Nine bosses.

'I know once they did say to me, and I can tell you this, after I'd done something...

'They said look, the Broadcasting Tribunal have given us a warning and said that if I do anything else again they will actually cancel the licence,' Newman explained.

The TV personality said he was then asked to pre-record the show and almost quit in disgust.

'And they said what we would like to do is tape the show and pre-tape it and put it to air,' he explained.

'I said mate that's fine, if you tape the show I'm out.'

Newman said he had been warned numerous times to be careful because of his edgy humour and labelled himself the 'most polarising figure in Australia'.

'They want you to be as edgy as possible, because it's all predicated on ratings, but they don't want you to go too far so it's frowned upon by people who give out the licences,' he explained.

The election was called for Biden by television networks and the Associated Press as he passed a 30,000 vote lead in Pennsylvania, an agonising four days after the polls closed.

Within minutes of Biden's victory, spontaneous celebrations broke out in major cities as people cheered, danced and honked horns in the streets.

Current President Donald Trump was playing golf in Sterling, Virginia when Biden's victory was announced, and he has refused to accept the outcome.

He claims Biden was trying to 'falsely pose' as the winner, vowing to keep challenging results he claims are a 'fraud' and creating the potential for weeks of chaos and constitutional crisis. 

Biden won Philadelphia then Nevada less than an hour later on Sunday morning Australia time, putting the 77-year-old on 279 electoral votes.  

Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina are still to be called, with Biden ahead in all but North Carolina, and if he stays that way he will have 302 electoral college votes, nearly the same as Trump in 2016.

Kamala Harris, Biden's running mate, becomes the first female vice president, and the first black and Asian-American vice president.

Biden tweeted: 'America, I'm honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country. The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not. I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.'
