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.

'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.
