Fans call out Tammy Hembrow as she slams 'creepy' overnight train in Egypt she says 'smelled bad': 'So humble when millionaires travel like us'
Tammy Hembrow has been slammed by fans after she complained about a 'creepy' overnight sleeper train she caught during her lavish holiday in Egypt.
The fitness influencer, 31, shared a video of her room to TikTok on Tuesday, documenting her subpar experience as she travelled from Cairo to Aswan.
But while the online star blasted the train for 'smelling bad' and looking 'scary', fans flocked to the comments to call out the millionaire for her privilege.
'It was unlike anything I have ever done. I was not expecting it to be like this,' Tammy, who was travelling as part of her girls' retreat, said of the train.
'We thought it would be a fun Egyptian experience to do an overnight sleeper train from Cairo to Aswan, which is like 13 hours. You sleep on the train overnight.'

She continued: 'What we didn't know is what the train actually looked like and would be like... It was definitely an experience. Not one I would like to have again.'
Footage of the train saw Tammy and her friends sleeping in small single-bed cabins which contained old, thin mattresses, a chair, a sink and a tray to eat food from.
Tammy, who is used to travelling in complete luxury, attempted to have a positive outlook on the budget train, saying: 'It's all part of the experience.'
However, she had a few nice things to say about her room, which she said 'smelled really bad' and was too 'small'.
'We couldn't stop giggling at the whole situation because we were not expecting it at all... I felt really bad because I brought all these girls and made them go on the train.
'Some of the windows were broken. There were scary doorways and things like that... The tables for our dinner, they pick them up off the floor and put them in [the wall].'
Tammy went on to slam the dinner she was served—rice and meat skewers—saying she 'didn't know what to say' about it and that she 'didn't eat it'.
'I don't turn down food, but I actually couldn't eat it,' she said.
But while the online star blasted the train for 'smelling bad' and looking 'scary', fans flocked to the comments to call-out the millionaire for her privilege
'We did have a bottle of wine so that did help because we were actually all scared none of us were going to be able to sleep because we were all creeped out.'
While Tammy went on to compliment the 'lovely' staff members and the 'pretty view', she said she would never catch a sleeper train in Egypt again.
Fans then called out the millionaire in the comments, saying the 'small' room was actually a 'luxury' for those who don't have thousands to splash on holidays.
'So humble when millionaires travel like us,' one person wrote, while another said: 'I must be broke cause I don't even think that train room looks bad.'
'Sadly enough that train situation is luxury for so many who don't have much,' another began.
'Just puts things into perspective and makes you realise how lucky we truly are. Especially for those who live in tents and bombs are raining down on them.'
'Were you expecting the orient express,' said another, as someone else agreed, writing: 'Tammy out here thinking she booked the polar express.'
'Girl those rooms look FINE! Perspective is funny hey,' another commented.
One user from Egypt added: 'This is luxury for our people! Welcome to our world ahah embrace the beauty & chaos!'
'I know this experience humbled you,' one follower wrote.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Tammy for comment.
Tammy is currently enjoying a luxury holiday in Egypt without her husband Matt Zukowski, who has chosen to stay home in Australia amid split rumours.
The Love Island star and influencer have been the target of speculation for weeks as they continue to spend time apart without wearing their wedding rings.
Sources close to the couple last month told Daily Mail Australia the pair had quietly split, with Matt relocating back to Melbourne.
'Matt and Tammy are on a break. They're not saying it's over for good, but for now they're taking time apart,' the insider revealed.
'They're both emotional people, and they've decided to put their marriage on pause for now.'
Tammy and Matt began dating in mid-2023, after Matt slid into her DMs, and were engaged just three months later.
They tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at Chateau Du Soleil in Byron Bay in November.

16 of the best family adventure holidays
All-inclusives and easy beach holidays are all well and good, but sometimes everyone needs a proper adventure. The kind of memory-making trip that will make children gasp and squeal, and give parents moments to cherish forever. A trip involving jaw-dropping landscapes and cultures or creatures to learn about and admire. If you're into wildlife, then Kenya, Borneo or Costa Rica might be the answer. For unforgettable scenery, how about a US national park, Jordan, or Canada? New Zealand is brilliant for road trips, while the Scottish coast provides a UK option for the activity-mad. Whatever your gang's age, stage and budget, there's excitement waiting for you on one of these brilliant family adventure holidays. This article contains affiliate links, which may earn us revenue Price £ Egypt is central to the idea of adventure in many children's films, cartoons and books, and it's also an incredibly accessible, budget-friendly destination for families. You can't go wrong with a tour of the Pyramids and Sphinx, plus Cairo is home to the blockbuster Grand Egyptian Museum (don't miss the scary room of mummies) and Khan el-Khalili bazaar — which for big kids may seem familiar from the Indiana Jones films. For parents, the relaxing bit of this Encounters Travel tour is the Nile cruise aboard a traditional felucca sailboat, absorbing Aswan, the Valley of the Kings and Luxor, while other child-centric adventures include a visit to a local school and sleeper train rides from Cairo to Aswan and Luxor to Cairo. • Discover more of the world's best family holidays Price ££ Parents will fall for the all-American views at Yellowstone, one of the most spectacular national parks in the US. This Intrepid Travel tour will please younger family members with a trip to Old Faithful, the geyser that can spray up to 32,000 litres of boiling water into the air. On a visit to neighbouring Grand Teton National Park, highlights include pristine lakes and the meandering Snake River, as well as the chance to see wildlife including moose, beavers and bears. Back in Yellowstone, your pack will go wolf tracking, armed with high-power binoculars to enable you to see all the wildlife from a comfortable distance. • Best national parks in the US• Best cities to visit in the US Price £££ Sharing 97 per cent of our DNA, orangutans are homo sapiens' flame-haired cousins — and there's nowhere better to see them than on the Asian island of Borneo. The Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, within the 40 sq km Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve, allows visitors to see the primates in their natural environment and learn about the work to return orphaned or injured animals to the wild. No one-trick wonder, this trip with Exodus Adventure Travels also includes a stay in a local homestead with the Dusun people, witnessing their traditional dances and perhaps playing football on the village pitch. Round off your travels by snorkelling amid colourful fish and coral in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. • Read our full guide to the world's best adventure holidays• Best safari and beach holidays Price ££ Fast emerging as the most family-friendly destination in Central America and a pioneer of eco and adventure travel, Costa Rica has something for everyone. As well as offering exceptional wildlife — particularly in the cloud forests of Monteverde — it's a good pick for an activity holiday. You can go ziplining through the canopies of the jungle, riding in the nearby hills, or paddleboarding and kayaking at Lake Arenal. This Intrepid Travel tour finishes up with some time on the rich coast that gives the country its name — at Manuel Antonio tropical vegetation meets perfect beaches, where you can take a surf lesson or just flop onto the sand. • Best places to see wildlife in Costa Rica• Best places to visit in Costa Rica Price £ Emerging from a narrow canyon into the elaborate ruins of a lost Nabataean kingdom in Jordan is a moment of drama that will make families into the stars of their own action-adventure film. On this Exodus tour you will stay overnight in a Bedouin camp in the deserts of Wadi Rum — a dead ringer for Mars — wild camp amid rocky mountains and take an optional trek that ascends to the top of Burdah bridge. After visiting the ruins of the house where Lawrence of Arabia is said to have lived, the tour finishes in the Unesco world heritage site of Petra, home tothe iconic Al-Khazneh treasury and Ad Deir monastery, whose grand façades were carved from the rock and featured in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. • The ultimate guide to Jordan's Dead Sea: everything you need to know Price £ Every day provides a new adventure on this multi-activity holiday in the Spanish Pyrenees. Families on this Explore! tour will be based at the same hotel all week, so time saved on packing and repacking can be spent hiking and picnicking among the peaks of Aiguestortes National Park and off-road mountain biking in the Montgarri Valley. The highlights of the trip are the white-knuckle watersports — although the Noguera Pallaresa river is one of Europe's safest, it still a thrilling place to ride a raft, especially over the notorious 'washing machine' rapid. Adrenaline junkies needn't stop there, as canyoning and abseiling are also on offer. Teenagers will get the most out of this trip, although it's suitable for children as young as seven. Price £ If 'no thanks' is often the response you get when suggesting a walk to your brood, then try elevating your pitch. Mention the fact that this route involves glaciers, a white-knuckle col traverse between France and Switzerland and an overnight stay in a forgotten mountain refuge, and you are likely to get a different response. UTracks offers a Mont Blanc family guided hike from Italy that covers high Alpine ground, allowing you to eyeball the tongue-shaped Prè de Bar glacier and experience the biodiverse Aiguilles Rouges Nature Reserve. There's also no quicker way to get your kids on the move than to tell them that there's hot chocolate, pizza and ice cream along the route. • See our full guide to walking holidays Price £££ Charles Darwin's discoveries in this Pacific archipelago helped him to formulate his game-changing theory of evolution, and a trip to the islands is part family holiday, part science field trip. The human footprint here is minimal and consequently the Galapagos are spectacularly biodiverse, home to everything from sea lions to giant tortoises, iguanas to blue-footed boobies. The islands belong to Ecuador, and you'd be mad to come all this way without seeing more of this mercifully compact country; Journey Latin America's Ecuador Andes and Galapagos Islands hop also includes a visit to an indigenous market and gallery, as well as a stay at a mountain lodge in the Andes. • Best cruises in the Galapagos Price £ Staying up past bedtime is virtually guaranteed in the village of Levi, where the photogenic wooden cabins come with a partial glass roof to maximise chances of sighting the aurora borealis. But even if the northern lights don't put on a show, no-one will come home from Finland disappointed because there are so many other memorable experiences up for grabs.

A huge expanse of grassland, this is the African savannah of your mind's eye, where gigantic herds of wildebeest and zebra roam across the famous reserve and beyond. Far and Wild's Kenya Family Safari Adventure provides a stay in the traditionally styled tents of Little Governors Campand guided morning and evening drives to search for the Big Five in an open-sided jeep. A two-for-one trip, this itinerary also takes in northern Kenya's Saruni Samburu, a lodge carved into the rock face with endless views and a great range of wildlife and cultural experiences. • Explore our full guide to safari holidays• Best Kenya safaris Price ££ Providing the pastoral greens of the Shire and the epic mountains of Mordor, the landscapes of New Zealand are central characters in the Lord of the Rings film franchise and they do not disappoint in real life.

You'll try all of the above — and learn how to make the latter — on Audley's Classic Italian Adventure, which visits Venice, Florence and Rome. Instead of full days of sightseeing, this trip features ample downtime and is tailored to engage the interests of younger travellers — a day trip to a museum or a private tour of the Colosseum will be complemented by more interactive family activities, such as a mask-making workshop in Venice or a ride around Rome on the back of a vintage Vespa. • Best things to do in Rome• Best villas in Italy with a pool Price £ You don't need to travel to the ends of the earth to have a proper adventure holiday — the Highlands are quite far enough.

Moving quietly through the water in either a double or single sea kayak, you'll stand a good chance of spotting marine wildlife such as otters and dolphins. As your skills improve, you can explore sea lochs and venture south to the atmospheric ruins of Castle Tioram, which sits on a tidal island. • Best hotels in the Highlands• Best road trips in Scotland Price £££ A trip to Churchill, in Manitoba, Canada, the polar bear capital of the world, delivers an exceptional wildlife experience best observed during a ride on a mighty tundra buggy.

Nick Kyrgios sparks relationship rumours with reality TV star and Costeen lookalike after leaving flirty messages on her photos
Nick Kyrgios appears to have his eye on a Costeen Hatzi lookalike following reports of his split from the influencer in March. The tennis player, 30, has sparked romance rumours with Love Island star Mia Dalkos after he was spotted leaving flirty comments on her Instagram page last week. The Greek-Australian, 23, whose real name is Efthimia Dalkos, attracted the athlete's attention late last month and has appeared to return his affections. A spark first seemed to appear on May 25 when Mia posted a video of herself at the hair salon, looking the spitting image of Nick's ex-partner Costeen. Nick left a flirty eye emoji beneath the post and Mia promptly responded with her own cheeky smiling emoji. 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. The following day, Mia shared a gallery of photos from her sister's wedding as she stepped out at the ceremony in a stunning black dress. 'Beautiful,' Nick wrote beneath the images, to which Mia also responded with a red love heart. Just a few days later, a fan noticed the flirty exchange and asked: 'Are you guys dating now?' Neither Nick or Mia have publicly confirmed anything outside of these exchanges. When Daily Mail Australia reached out to Nick's representatives for comment, they assured the pair are just 'good friends' who have known each other for some time. 'They have know each other for a while and are good friends! Big Gordon Ramsay fans also,' the spokesperson said. Costeen, 25, who began dating Nick in 2021, delivered a parting message to the tennis star last month following their split. Rumours had been bubbling away over the past few months the couple had broken up, with Nick appearing to unfollow the social media star on Instagram. Nick left a flirty eye emoji beneath the post and Mia promptly responded with her own cheeky smiling emoji The tennis star sparked rumours they split after he also removed Costeen's initials from his Instagram bio. Meanwhile, Costeen shared multiple cryptic posts, uploading a TikTok in which she appeared to mouth the words: 'Who the f*** did I marry? So at this point in time, I have filed for divorce.' She then confirmed the pair ended things on good terms, wishing the best for her ex-partner. 'I'm loving my work and doing content every day,' she told The Herald Sun. 'We haven't spoken, relationships come to an end. I believe it's for the best. I hope he finds peace and happiness within himself. 'I definitely entered the relationship with pure intentions. I loved him and thought we had a great connection.' Meanwhile, Mia, who appeared on Love Island Australia last year, made headlines in December when she enraged fans by admitting her relationship on the show was fake and she was then romantically involved with a man named Christo. The admission followed months of fervent online speculation one of the 2024 female contestants had applied for the reality dating show multiple times, despite having a boyfriend of six years named Christo. Mia, from Adelaide, entered the villa as a 'Greek goddess' bombshell and found an instant spark on-screen with Sydney-based Niko Fotopoulos, who she said she only had eyes for after one day of filming. Taking to her Instagram Stories in December after the show wrapped, Mia shocked fans by confirming she and Niko 'were never together'. 'No we're not still together. We actually never were together officially. We spoke for a few weeks after the villa but yeah, nah. We're civil. That's it,' she said in response to a fan question. The brunette beauty also clapped back at rumours she'd had a long-term boyfriend before the series. In doing so, she named her current partner: 'His name is Christo.' 'We were on talking terms. We were not in a committed relationship. He's talking to others. I'm talking to others,' Mia said as she shot down the allegations. 'We're very civil and we're actually friends. People just love to talk a lot of s*** though. Those rumours, man.' In September, Love Island 2022 winner Claudia Bonifazio made bombshell claims one of the 2024 contestants had a boyfriend of six years, but had applied to the series three 'years in a row' to realise her dream of becoming an influencer. The reality star, who is also from Adelaide, took to social media to put an unnamed female Love Island applicant on blast. 'If you have a boyfriend, don't apply to go on a reality dating show years in a row because it just proves what you're there for,' she said. Many South Australian Reddit users then claimed the contestant was Mia and that her alleged boyfriend is a Greek man named Christo, who wasn't able to be on Love Island due to a prior criminal offence. 'He dropped her off at the airport for Love Island and wanted to go on the show with her, but was told no because he's facing criminal charges for money laundering,' one Reddit user claimed. Yet another person claimed they saw Mia two weeks earlier at Lucky's Beach Club with Christo, who was spotted still wearing an ankle bracelet. In 2021, the Greek Herald reported Christo Nickolas, then 32, had been charged with two counts of money laundering. Mia, in her Instagram Stories, said she has 'no regrets at all' about going on the show. 'What about the rumours that you had a boyfriend back home during filming?' one fan asked in the Q&A session. 'Guys, it actually baffles me that for a second people think that "my partner" would be okay for me to go on national TV to meet another man. That is crazy,' Mia said as she firmly denied the allegations. Mia's official Love Island biography stated at the time: 'She recently got out of a long-term relationship that lasted for six years.'
