Nova star Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald confronted by fan live on air after the 'hungover' radio host was rude to her at a party: 'Disappointed'
Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald has been confronted by a fan live on air after he refused to take a photo with her after a party. The fan, named Joanne, called into Nova's Fitzy and Wippa with Kate Ritchie show on Tuesday when the hosts requested stories on celebrity encounters. Joanne said she approached Fitzy after a party and asked for a selfie - only to be rebuffed. 'Oh well I was a fan of his for ages... this tall, handsome man, and we were at a party, and I asked him if I could have a photo, and he said no!' Joanne explained. 'What! Who was it?' Fitzy's co-host Michael 'Wippa' Wipfli asked, to which Joanne replied, 'Your friend, Fitzy!'

Fitzy was shocked by the confession, replying, 'Give me a break. I'm always accommodating Joanne, are you serious?' 'I'm serious. You were probably a bit hungover at the time as we all were,' Joanne said with a laugh. 'This was ages ago, we were both at the same function place in Terry Hills,' she added. 'When the party finished we were all in the foyer there. But you made up for it in the end.' Fitzy asked: 'How did I make up for it? Because I'm really disappointed in myself!' All's well that ends well, Joanne assured the worried radio star, explaining she later got a selfie with him at another event. 'Because I got a photo with you both when Wippa used to have his running club at Hyde Park!' she said. Ryan became a household name by appearing on Channel 10's Big Brother back in 2004. The 48-year-old recently revealed the surprising amount he was paid to appear on the then controversial reality show. He debunked rumours the cast were raking in the big bucks during his time on the ratings juggernaut. 'A lot of people thought that we got paid a motza when we were on Big Brother. It was $100 a day,' Ryan revealed. While this may seem a pittance, even by 2004 standards, Ryan added that he wasn't perturbed by his paycheck given his lack of expenditures during his reality show stint. 'This is the thing. I was in there for three months and you're not spending that money on anything so it's a long time. It's a good little whack when you get out,' he said. Ryan, who finished fourth on the show's fourth season behind winner Trevor Butler and runners-up Bree Amer and Paul Dyer, said there were some fringe benefits thrown in to soften the blow of his meagre money. 'Back in 2004 when I was on Big Brother, I mean I finished fourth, but I left the show with a Mitsubishi Lancer, a trip to New Caledonia, I think I got a TAG Heuer watch, which I've got somewhere around here,' he said.

New Strictly pro Julian Caillon hit by fakery row before he even appears on BBC series
NEW Strictly pro Julian Caillon has already become embroiled in a fakery row before he even appears on this year's new series. The Australian hunk was one of two dancers named by the BBC One dance show as joining their line-up of pros for 2025. But Julian, who's signed up alongside American Alexis Warr, has revealed he's already been asked to have a phoney bust up with a fellow competitor admitting: "I'll just say and do whatever needs to be done'.' It was during in his former job on Dancing with the Stars, which is the Oz version of Strictly, and dints the idea that he is as "squeaky clean" as British show bosses hoped. The ballroom and Latin American expert said: 'Reality TV is not necessarily what you think. A massive aspect of reality TV is not really real. "I remember in one episode of Dancing With The Stars, one of my celebrities was late to rehearsals and the producers were asking me to go around and pretend that I was frustrated. 'But she had something pop up and stuff happens sometimes and life gets in the way and we get a little bit late. It's not the biggest deal in the world. We just stay back a bit later. "But they made this whole kind of thing out of it. 'I think during my earlier experiences, whatever I was asked to say or do, I just thought 'It's a privilege for me to be here. I need them to like me. "So I'll just say and do whatever needs to be done'.' But Caillon claims he has more confidence to stand up for himself and insist he would no longer fake anything for the cameras. He told the Try With Alex podcast: 'In a way, it teaches you to know what your values are and what you're willing to do and not to do. Shirley Ballas reveals Strictly's new signings and teases line-up is 'off the charts' 'As I got more confident, it made me be confident in my own choices. Now I know I have clear boundaries and lines where I know 'This is what I'm willing to do. If they ask me to say this, I'm just gonna say No'."

Something to tell us? MasterChef star Sarah Todd's bizarre accessory as she leaves a wedding venue with younger boyfriend Declan Cleary in Melbourne
MasterChef couple Sarah Todd and Declan Cleary recently denied that they are set to marry any time soon. But the pair added fuel to the fire earlier this month when they were spotted checking out a wedding venue in Melbourne. The two spent time at Middle Brighton Baths, a popular spot for nuptials, with Declan's dad joining them. Adding to the mystery, Sarah covered her hands with ski gloves, perhaps to protect against the cold - or to hide an engagement ring. Sarah looked chic in a baby blue suit, under which she wore a darker blue top. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. But the pair added fuel to the fire earlier this month when they were spotted checking out a wedding venue in Melbourne The chef added a pair of well-loved sneakers, layering gold necklaces to complete her look. She had on a full face of makeup in a peachy tone, along with a pink lip gloss, and had her brown hair down. Declan was casually cool in a checked shirt paired with black trousers and leather dress shoes. The couple strolled hand-in-hand while taking in the ocean vista, appearing relaxed and smitten with one another. It comes just days after Sarah and Declan addressed rumours they're planning to take the next step in their age-gap romance after moving in together. The lovebirds, whose romance continues to go from strength to strength, told Daily Mail Australia that while they are not planning to tie the knot anytime soon, they have become a family, with Declan taking on the role of stepfather to Sarah's teenage son Phoenix, 14. 'It's all relatively new but it's working great,' they said, adding: 'When it's right, it's right.' While the reality stars' romance has come as a surprise to many, Sarah, 38, and Declan, 27, said they had an 'immediate connection' while filming the Channel 10 cooking show. 'Sometimes, things just appear out of nowhere for all the right reasons. We made an immediate connection,' they said. Declan also responded to criticism he is 'punching above his weight' with former model Sarah. 'I'm happy about that (comment). She's beautiful inside and out and she's the better cook, everyone knows that,' he said. 'We are just starting our journey together. If chemistry is a problem this early on, there's no future,' Declan added. 'My future looks tremendous.' Sarah and Declan went public with their relationship earlier this month, revealing that they had already moved in together following the high-pressure show. They came clean about their secret romance in an interview with Stellar magazine. Declan revealed that the pair 'instantly got along', which saw them spend lots of time together behind the scenes of MasterChef. The couple strolled hand-in-hand while taking in the ocean vista, appearing relaxed and smitten with one another. However, it wasn't until Sarah landed in an elimination challenge that Declan's feelings became apparent, and he knew he needed to tell her how he felt. They also posed for the magazine, with Sarah looking stylish in denim as she embraced her beau. For their first date, the pair visited the Grampians National Park for a romantic weekend away, exploring markets, eating at picturesque restaurants and going for walks in the Central Victorian Highlands. After wrapping filming on the show, Declan made the move from Sydney's Northern Beaches to Melbourne – along with his dog Sol – to be with Sarah and Phoenix. Sarah's ex-fiancé Devinder Garcha recently broke his silence on her romance with Declan. The project manager said he was happy for them, adding that he'd met Declan for the first time 'the other day' and thought he was a 'nice guy'. 'I wouldn't say we're friends or not friends. We're pleasant, and good luck to her,' he added. Devinder explained he'd spoken to Declan while Sarah was dropping off their son. The lovebirds, whose romance continues to go from strength to strength, told Daily Mail Australia that while they are not planning to tie the knot anytime soon, they have become a family, with Declan taking on the role of stepfather to Sarah's teenage son Phoenix, 14 'We try to keep it all amicable. It's all the best for the kid. Declan seems like a nice guy. Phoenix likes him. He seems pleasant. I wish them all the luck,' he said. 'We both focus a lot on Phoenix. As long as he's happy, I'm happy.' The father-of-one said he and Sarah were together for 'about five years [in] total' and engaged for two before they split. Devinder stopped appearing on Sarah's Instagram account around December 2014.
