Karl Stefanovic is known for his irreverent humour and larrikin persona on screen.

And it appears the Today show host is just as colourful on holiday.

The TV veteran had resort guests in Fiji doing a double take on Monday when he slipped into a pair of vibrant budgy smugglers for a refreshing dip with daughter Harper. 

Karl, 50, confidently flaunted his playful side in the pair of eye-catching swimmers emblazoned with the phrase ‘BIG ON MEAT’ scrawled across his bottom. 

The cheeky brief also featured a print of sizzling sausages. 

In other photos shared to Instagram, Karl and his wife Jasmine were also snapped enjoying a beachside dinner together.

The couple positively glowed as they sat a a table beachside. 

Jasmine was all smiles in a dainty sundress as she posed alongside her man and adorable daughter. 

Their getaway comes amid reports Nine is looking to slash Karl’s $3million salary by half.

Insiders have revealed that Karl is under a cloud at Nine as a ‘jaded’ brand.

‘He doesn’t attract audience numbers, he doesn’t pull in big interviews,’ a source revealed to News.com.au on Thursday.

The insider continued, ‘He might put in some hours but he has become a clichéd slick-talking salesman and the view of news bosses is his is a jaded brand that has eclipsed Today’s.’

The family are understood to be staying at the Kokomo Island Resort, where prices per night for the top tier residences on sit can cost up to $4000-per-night. 

A minimum three night stay is required, and a five day package, including flights, can run up to $18,900 per person.

Stefanovic shares daughter Harper, who turns five in May with his current wife Jasmine Yarbrough, and three other children – Willow, 20, Jackson, 25, and River, 18 – with ex-wife, journalist Cassandra Thorburn.

The TV star and Yarbrough began dating in September 2016, just months after he separated from Thorburn following 21 years of marriage.

His divorce from Thorburn was finalised in October 2017, with the media personality proposing to Yarbrough just four months later in February 2018.

They married that same year in December in Mexico.
