Tony Bellew’s wife is making the most of her time in Australia before being reunited with her boxer husband.
I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star Tony is currently putting his survival skills to the test in the star-studded camp, with the Scouser taking on a tricky Bushtucker Trial over the weekend, but the boxer’s wife Rachael Roberts is having the time of her life Down Under.
Rachael, who shares four sons with Tony, was recently snapped with a huge smile on her face as she soaked up the sun with her family on the beach, with Tony’s loved ones enjoying what Australia has to offer tourists during their windy day out at Surfers Paradise.

Tony’s wife, who looked stunning in a black bandeau bikini and white shirt during her beach outing, recently admitted she and her offspring love seeing Tony being pushed to his limits on the ITV show. Speaking to the Mirror, Rachael confessed: “We love to watch him suffer.”
Rachael, who shares sons Corey, 18, Cobey, 15, Carter, 11, and Carson, three with Tony, went on to reveal: “We’ve never watched any shows he’s done but we’re watching this. And the trials… I love watching him suffer! The eldest two are voting – they voted for him to do the drinking trial. I was very surprised at how well he did in that. He’s a very fussy eater and can’t take texture. It drives me insane. At least he now can’t say anything about me eating coleslaw, because he’s drunk a blended bull’s penis.”

The mum-of-four also admitted the family have all been surprised at how well Tony – who reverted to his preferred name Anthony after retiring – has coped with the trials, even if he will be in for “a ribbing” when he gets home. Rachael divulged: “Ant plays the macho man, but he’s a big softie. I bet he’s more scared than he looks in the trials. In the snake trial, you could tell he was petrified and I’m sure he’ll get a bit of ribbing for that when he gets out. But he’s not a quitter. Joking aside, we’re all really proud of him.”
Discussing Tony/Anthony’s chances of being crowned King of the Jungle, Rachael added: “If he did win I’d be buzzing, but there’s no way I’d let it go to his head. I’d have that crown right off him. I’d tell him I was really proud of him – then ask him to ring the man we need to fix our front door.”

Saturday night’s episode of I’m A Celebrity saw Tony squeeze himself into a mock up reptile in a bid to win meals for camp during his Bushtucker Trial, before hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly revealed jocket Frankie Dettori, who entered camp with Tony, had been voted off the show.
Elsewhere during the weekend’s update from camp, viewers spotted Tony seemingly getting annoying with one of his fellow campers, former Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson. As the camp prepared to send Nella Rose off on her way to take on a Bushtucker Trial, a distracted Sam could be seen putting a leaf in Tony’s ear. Tony feared it was a bug, only to chastise Sam when he realised it was him messing around. The boxing star grumbled: “Sam, I will kick your a***, you silly boy.”
The continued banter between Tony and Sam has drawn attention from other contestants, with politician Nigel Farage commenting: “It’s like an 8-year-old. They’re always looking for mischief.” First Dates star Fred Sirieix said: “I find it very funny, very entertaining. Otherwise it’d be boring.” But Nigel said: “Oh I know, but it never stops.” Only for Fred to argue: “Yeah, that’s great. What matters is that he’s a nice man.”
