MAFS star and I’m a Celebrity contestant Ryan Gallagher calls Nick Kyrgios a ‘f**kwit’ after the tennis star said he’d never go into the jungle and took a swipe at the cast
Former Married At First Sight groom Ryan Gallagher launched a scathing tirade on Thursday against tennis star Nick Kyrgios over some recent comments he made.
The tennis star, 27, was asked on Instagram whether he would appear on the reality show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and defiantly shot down the suggestion.
And now Gallagher, 34, has taken issue with Kyrgios’ bold claim that the cast aren’t genuine ‘celebrities’ and are only known in Australia. Ryan appeared on the show back in 2020.
The former MAFS star – who is now engaged to Olympian Emily Seebohm – shared Nick’s response to social media and responded with some choice words of his own.
‘Rather be just known in Australia than known worldwide as a f***wit,’ he wrote alongside the photo of Kyrgios.

He also drew an arrow pointing to Nick and on top of it wrote ‘k**b’.
After rising to fame on MAFS in 2018, Ryan subsequently appeared on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2020, alongside actress Rhonda Burchmore, illusionist Cosentino and media personality Perez Hilton.
He ended up in eighth place with the series winner being celebrity chef Miguel Maestre.
The famously outspoken world-class tennis player said he would never appear on the reality show because it does not feature ‘real celebrities’.

He also accused the Australian cast members of going on the show for the ‘money’ and taking themselves too seriously, because they are only known to local viewers.
Nick’s spray against the show, currently filming in South Africa, came during a fan Q&A he shared to his Instagram stories on Wednesday.
After one follower asked whether he would go on the real-life survival series, Nick answered with a vicious serve aimed, it seemed, at past and present cast members.
‘No. People who go on that show tend not to be celebrities, anyway,’ the tennis star explained, before adding, [the cast do the show as] an excuse to get money.’

‘They take themselves a bit too seriously,’ he went on, ‘because they are well known in Australia.’
Nick also posted a picture of himself standing by a small jet plane in the story.
