Billy Brownless reveals how his kids reacted to shocking nude photo of him on holiday - and who's to blame for taking it

Daily Mail​3 days ago
Billy Brownless has revealed that his kids were left horrified by viral skinny dipping stunt, with one of his children, Ruby, even going as far as calling him a 'd***head'.
The former Geelong star has been celebrating his first anniversary with his girlfriend Crystle Fleur over the past few weeks, with the pair heading off on a romantic tour of Western Australia.
While the pair have been keeping their fans updated on the trip, posting some cute pictures of the getaway on social media, Brownless shocked fans last week, publishing a picture of himself swimming naked in a pool at the Cable Beach Club in Broome.
With social media going into meltdown over the lewd image, Brownless, a father-of-four, revealed that it was his girlfriend, Fleur, who had instigated the photo opportunity while he was enjoying a dip in the pool.
'Guess who took the photo — Crystle,' the 58-year-old explained to The Herald Sun.
She thought it was fun. I was just paddling around in the pool, splashing around. She said: 'I've got a shot here for you. Darl, we'll get rid of those shorts and we'll just have a bit of fun with it'.
'And she thought it would be funny to go nude. She knows how to post on my account, ' he added.
Fleur then published the snap on Brownless' Instagram account, which has over 130,000 followers.
The much-loved footy larrikin, who now works on the radio, poked fun at himself in the caption on the post.
'Some call it 'Skinny Dipping', I like to call it 'Fat Dipping',' Brownless wrote.
Brownless, who presents Triple M's Rush Hour alongside James Brayshaw, attracted plenty of comments for the shock picture.
One included a message from Chris Judd's wife, Bec, who had been on holiday with a group of friends and family at the same location.
'Hahahaha. Nice seeing you yesterday. Glad you had some clothes on,' she joked.
Brayshaw's wife, Lisa, replied to Bec's comment, writing: 'I just said to James… oh no, I think Bec is there on holidays. I hope she's left by now because you can't unsee this if it's in your resort pool.'
But he revealed that his beau, Fleur, had been the instigator in the lewd photo, adding that she had published the snap on his Instagram
Dale Thomas, who now works on Channel 7's footy coverage, joked: 'Reverse angle is a Nirvana album cover,' in reference to the band's breakthrough album cover Nevermind.
Brownless' daughter, Ruby, was less impressed by the naked image, writing in the comments: 'wow, it gets worse.'
And her dad, a two-time leading goalkicker with Geelong, lifted the lid on how his children all reacted to the image.
'They're the ones who aren't so happy,' he told The Herald Sun.
'Ruby is the most outspoken, she rang me. She said: 'Dad, you're a d***head'.'
However, Brownless shrugged off his kids' embarrassment, adding: '120,000 views, the punters loved it.'
Brownless had previously published a video of himself hilariously doing 'some laps' in the pool, this time while wearing his swimming trunks.
However, he sent his followers into meltdown, after the video panned out, showing that the pool was only three metres long!
'While in Broome I thought I would get back into the Pool and cut some laps!' he wrote on the video, as he bobbed his way from one side to the other.
While Brownless copped a few sledges, his partner, Fleur, took to Instagram to fire a joke back.
'Good lord @crystle15 stop him,' one fan begged in the comments of the nude photo.
Fleur replied: ''He's out of control. I'm running.'
The couple celebrated their one-year anniversary this month, revealing that they would be going on their 'biggest adventure yet'.
'Happy 1st anniversary to this amazing man!' Fleur, who owns a Geelong-based equestrian company called Erinvale Thoroughbreds, said.
'365 days of love, laughter and amazing adventures as we fly off to start the biggest one yet!' she added.
The pair have since published multiple snaps of their romantic getaway, having spent time in Ningaloo, Hamersley Gorge and a trip up to Broome.
Brownless, meanwhile, has left some fans scratching their heads online, asking his followers: 'If you knew I'd never ask again, what truth would you finally tell me?'
He has also opened up about his relationship with Fleur.
While the pair appear to love to have a bit of banter with their followers online, Brownless said to The Herald Sun: 'We love our footy and racing.
'She doesn't like to get in pictures, but it's going well.'

Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch pack on the PDA during Portuguese holiday as they prove they're more loved-up than ever after 14 years of marriage

Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch put on a very loved-up display as they spent the day at the beach during their family holiday to Almancil, Portugal. The couple have jetted off to the Algarve for some sun with their four children - Sophia, 14, Liberty, 10, Johnny, seven, and Jack, six. And they did not shy away from showing their affections for one another as the married couple, who tied the knot in 2011, were seen packing on the PDA during a day trip to the beach. Abbey, 39, was seen cuddling up to Peter, 44, as they shared a kiss, with the former footballer putting on a very amorous display as he smooched his wife. For the day out, Abbey put on a leggy display in a one-shouldered striped cover-up, which she wore over a black bikini. The model shielded her eyes with a pair of dark sunglasses and tucked her golden locks beneath a blue baseball hat to complete her stylish look.

He appeared in jovial spirits as he flashed a huge smile while Abbey wrapped her arms around him, before he cheekily grabbed her behind. The couple jetted off for their sun-soaked holiday just weeks after celebrating their 14th wedding anniversary. They tied the knot at Stapleford Park on June 30, 2011, and renewed their vows in the Maldives to mark their 10-year anniversary. Abbey recently opened up on the way she's kept her marriage to Peter thriving over the years. She admitted the key was 'growing together' throughout time with Peter and always staying 'in sync' with him. 'When we look back at our wedding day, some of the choices we've made, some things we've done in the past, we're like ''Bloody hell, who were we then?'',' the TV star told The Mirror. 'But today? We're still in sync, we've got the same interests and the same things that make us laugh. It's really a happy time for us at the moment.

The couple often give humorous insights into their relationship on their podcast, The Therapy Crouch, not shying away from discussing anything and everything. During one chat on their podcast, the couple revealed the strict rule they've placed on their four children to improve their behaviour. They implemented an iPad and phone ban at Christmas, insisting it's led to a more positive attitude in their household. Peter explained: 'We said to them iPads and phones are gone and I feel we've stuck to that. 'We made a conscious effort amongst ourselves to cut them out and they've properly cut them out.' They mentioned other rules they've put in place include focusing on homework, spending time as a family before having quality time together once the kids go to bed. She showed off her toned legs in her mini dress as she relaxed on the beach during their summer holiday Though their new rules were a success, it is not always plain-sailing and Abbey admitted Peter can sometimes get on her nerves when it comes to parenting. She told OK! magazine: 'Pete's good cop and I'm bad cop. I'm the one going, 'Do your homework, eat your veg', and Pete's like, 'Let's play, kids!' which can be annoying but… it works. 'Our kids are very good, though. They've all got distinct personalities but they're all easy-going. That's not to say family life isn't chaotic – it's chaotic!

Australia's most recognisable model announces engagement and shows off MASSIVE diamond ring in Italy

Australia's most recognisable model is engaged. Emily Venz, who made headlines after fans noticed she had appeared in almost every Australian fashion campaign, took to Instagram on Wednesday to announce her engagement. In one clip, her longtime partner Jordan Davies got down on one knee in a stunning boat proposal overlooking the sunset in Ischia, Italy. Emily wore an elegant white two-piece, comprising a long maxi skirt with hints of sheer lace and a cropped top tied at the front. The 33-year-old's long blonde locks fell across her shoulders and blew in the wind as she said 'I do' with a colourful sky behind her. 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. In another post, the model shared a slew of pictures of the big day. One showed Emily with her new fiancé embracing at golden hour, while another showed the model post-proposal on the bobbing boat. However, most notable was a snap of her engagement ring, which boasted a massive diamond and a simple gold band. 'Locked in,' she captioned the post, which has received over 37,000 likes. Fans, friends and Emily's fellow influencer pals flooded the post with well-wishes for the bride-to-be. 'Omg,' Sopha Dopha simply put. Jacquie Alexander penned: 'Congratulations girly.' 'I still cant believe it,' Isabella Mathers wrote, adding: 'so so so happy for you guys, love you.' Even Love Island's Grace Jackson took to the comments, writing: 'Congratulations gorgeous girl.' In 2024, social media was sent into a frenzy after eagle-eyed fans noticed that Emily had appeared in almost every major Australian fashion campaign. The under-the-radar star has modelled for the likes of White Fox, Babyboo, Beginning Boutique and Hello Molly, among many others, and often appears on their websites. And one shopper took to TikTok to share their surprise after noticing it was the exact same woman they kept seeing in numerous brands' shoots. The TikTok user captioned the now-viral post: 'Who is this woman and why is she the face of everything? We all recognise her right?! Who is she?' 'Like are all these brands the same actually or is she just such a baddie they all need her to model?! Help,' they added in a caption. Speaking about the now-viral video of herself, Emily told Daily Mail Australia she was 'shocked' to see her career becoming such a topic of conversation online. She shared: 'I was honestly quite shocked when my friends sent me the video and I couldn't believe how quickly it gained so many views. 'I've been so busy lately as work has really picked up for me so it was really nice to see so many people had noticed and were so supportive of my modelling.' 'I had no idea that my campaigns had reached so many people in Australia and across the world so it has been very surreal to see,' she added. Emily, who is from the Gold Coast, also revealed exactly how many brands she works with amid the speculation that she is taking over the Australian fashion market. 'Contrary to what people may think. I don't work with a huge amount of brands. I work with around eight brands on a regular basis,' she explained. 'It's difficult to say yes to everything when you have consistent jobs coming in from those you already have relationships with.

Australian boxing star Mitch Leek has popped the question to his partner with a very impressive ring. The Victorian-based pugilist got down on one knee in front of his former South Australian Miss Universe contestant partner Lauren Walker over the weekend. Taking to Instagram to make the announcement, Lauren shared a series of romantic photos, capturing the moment she said yes. 'You and I till the end of time,' Lauren captioned the sweet images.

Lauren looked absolutely stunning for her big moment, in a figure-hugging mini dress with a ruched waist and a long train that flowed down from the side. Lauren completed her look with a pair of plain white heels. Mitch matched his bride-to-be perfectly, wearing a crisp white collared shirt and a pair of beige chinos accented by a brown leather belt. But it was Lauren's very impressive diamond sparkler that took pride of place in the loved-up images. The bespoke Babyanything ring was created by Lucie Walker, and Lauren was not afraid to gush about her new finger accoutrement on her Instagram stories.
