Tammy Hembrow slammed for wild act in New Zealand following Matt Zukowski split: 'Why would you put your life in danger?'
Tammy Hembrow has been criticised for bungee jumping in New Zealand following her split from Matt Zukowski.
The fitness influencer, who is currently enjoying a trip to Queenstown with her three kids Wolf, nine, daughter Saskia, seven, and toddler Posy, three, took to Instagram on Wednesday to reveal a comment she received on her recent bungee jumping video.
The 31-year-old could be seen wearing a cream-coloured sweater in the Instagram story as she walked on a treadmill and reflected on the criticism she copped regarding the wild act.
'I also saw someone - they weren't having a go or anything - but they were just like, "Why would you put your life in danger? Like you have kids."'
She then went on to defend the act, saying that when she first had her children, she had put her love of adrenaline-boosting activities aside.

'When I had kids is when I stopped doing these kinds of things,' she said, adding: 'I just love it though.'
Tammy assured fans that the company she went bungee jumping with in Queenstown - AJ Hackett Bungy - has been around for the 'longest time' and was 'super safe'.
'What's life if not to live, if you know what I mean. And I just love those adrenaline sort of things,' she said.
'I'm just gonna do it,' she shared, before adding that it's the 'perfect' time to try adventurous things, hinting at her recent split from Love Island star Matt.
On Wednesday, Tammy revealed one of the highlights of her Kiwi trip: braving the world's largest swing between the mountains.
She described the experience as 'therapy' following her marriage breakdown, while also revealing she bungee jumped.
Tammy has been actively documenting her trip to New Zealand on social media after news broke of her split.
The pair are headed for divorce after just seven months of marriage, and the social media star jetted off to the South Island to rest and recuperate in the wake of the announcement.
'A reminder of warmth, family, the magic of slowing down & the joy that lives in the littlest moments. The cosiest first night in NZ w my babies,' she wrote online
Despite her heartache, Tammy has very much been in mum mode as she enjoys the idyllic getaway with her children.
On Saturday, she posted a series of images and clips showing herself and her three children living it up in Queenstown.
The family were getting into the festive spirit early, celebrating a whimsical Christmas in July.
Tammy, rugged up in a fleecy jumper, with her midriff exposed, posed happily with her brood in front of a wintry scene dotted with festive candy canes and large, illuminated Christmas presents.
Another photo showed the influencer posing in front of the same scene, hugging her three children tight.
There was also time for some sweet shopping too, with another shot showing her youngsters staring in wonderment through a local Queenstown candy shop window.
It wouldn't be a winter escape without some skiing, and Tammy also shared a short clip of her flaunting her style on the slopes.
'Christmas in July because who doesn't love a lil winter Christmas magic?' Tammy captioned the sweet snaps.
'When I tell you my soul NEEDED thissss. Forever my favourite holiday.
'A reminder of warmth, family, the magic of slowing down & the joy that lives in the littlest moments. The cosiest first night in NZ w my babies!!'
Tammy announced her shock split from Matt a few weeks ago in an emotional video.
Despite their short-lived marriage, both parties have asked for privacy as they adjust to life post-breakup.
