Unveiled initially... the Beau Ryan Football Show segment, deemed so distasteful that it was PROHIBITED from radio broadcasts
Revised Article:
Hey there, folks! Guess what I'm spilling the tea on today? Former NRL star and TV personality, Beau Ryan, has shared an astonishing story from his wild days as a Footy Show host. This yarn's got whips, spanks, electric shocks, and a little language barrier—sounds like a fun night, right?
Beau's 40, and a decade ago, he went on an adventurous jaunt to Berlin with the Channel Nine crew for the Footy Show. In the boisterous tales shared on Triple M Breakfast with Beau and Woodsy, Ryan painted a vivid picture:
"We had this wild idea," he began.
"We saw Conan O'Brien had done a bondage den, so we went in there, and it was like a scene straight out of Taken. A woman, dressed like Catwoman, appears, and before I knew it, I'm stripped down to my swimming trunks."
Now, remember Paul Gallen, the Cronulla NRL great? Well, Beau set his safe word as Gallen—smart move, huh? But things took a turn when another woman, who didn't speak a lick of English, led him into a room. With a language barrier in play, chaos ensued:
"I got whipped, spanked, and zapped with electric shocks—all while blindfolded!" Ryan exclaimed, adding that the ordeal felt like it lasted an hour, but was only 15 minutes long.
"Needless to say, I ended up with some welts and scars to show for it!" Beau added with a chuckle.
Once he returned to Sydney, the executive producer from the Footy Show called him in for a chat. After watching the footage, they questioned the decision to air it—and canned it. To make things even more intriguing, Beau discovered years later that Channel Nine had deleted all footage of the incident.
Since his retirement from the NRL due to an ongoing neck injury in 2014, Beau ventured into television. He started on The Footy Show, before moving to Channel 10 for The Amazing Race Australia, I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Outta Here!, Top Gear Australia, and the remake of Gladiators. Nowadays, he can be found on Triple M Breakfast each weekday, joined by fellow footy identity Aaron Woods and new host Cat Lynch.
This story just goes to show that sometimes, reality TV can get a little too real!
Beau Ryan, in sharing his experiences as a Footy Show host, revealed an unexpected adventure in sports entertainment. Amidst the chaos in Berlin, he found himself enduring sports-themed torture, complete with whipping, spanking, and electric shocks, all while blindfolded – a testament to how reality TV can indeed push the boundaries.
