Bill Shorten has cancelled an interview with TripleM radio in Melbourne, following controversial comments by host Eddie McGuire.
The Collingwood president and broadcaster has apologised for saying he would pay $50,000 to see journalist Caroline Wilson stay under a pool of iced water, before going on to describe Wilson as "like a black widow" spider.
Mr Shorten's spokesman said the Labor leader had cancelled his appearance on McGuire's show scheduled for Tuesday morning.
