Matt Zukowski faced a rather embarrassing incident when a bird relieved itself on him during a tennis event in Melbourne.

The ex-Love Island contestant took to Instagram to humorously share the unfortunate occurrence at the Australian Open, where he was hit by bird droppings multiple times while seated in the audience.

Despite the mishap, Matt managed to maintain his sense of humor, capturing himself grinning widely in a white T-shirt and beige pants, topped off with a baseball cap and a pair of dark sunglasses hanging from his shirt collar.

The amusing twist became apparent as he turned the camera to reveal several brown marks on his shirt, with splatters decorating his chest, waist, and even his forearm.

Captioning the footage, he quipped: ‘Apparently this means good luck,’ alongside laughing and poo emojis.

This awkward episode follows Matt’s candid reflections on his ex, Tammy Hembrow, publicly moving on after their separation.

Matt Zukowski suffered one of the most humiliating mishaps after being pooped on by a bird while attending a tennis match 

The couple, Matt and fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow, announced their split in June 2025, merely seven months following their wedding.

The pair had become engaged in December 2023 after only three months of dating and married in November 2024.

In August, Tammy, 31, was photographed kissing AFL star Bailey Smith, sparking speculation she had already found love again.

Matt addressed the situation during an appearance on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, admitting the images caught him off guard.

‘I don’t think jealousy is the right word,’ he said.

‘I was doing my own healing process, and when I saw that, I was like, ‘Oh, okay.’

He added: ‘No one likes to see the person they used to love and be married to hooking up with someone else. That’s a knife to anyone’s chest, man.’

Matt also revealed he has had no contact with Tammy since announcing their split.

The embarrassing incident comes after Matt recently opened up about watching his former partner, Tammy Hembrow, move on so publicly following their split 

‘I haven’t spoken to her since we announced we were divorced. So, no contact at all,’ he said.

Reflecting on their failed marriage, Matt admitted he hoped tying the knot might resolve underlying issues.

‘I don’t think I’m the first person in history to think that a marriage is going to fix the problems in a relationship. And like I said, it didn’t. It just progressively got worse.’

After photos emerged of Tammy kissing Bailey, the Geelong Cats star later appeared on Today, insisting the pair were ‘just friends’.

Bailey went on to describe Tammy as a close confidante who had been offering him advice, calling her an older, wiser mentor.

Earlier this month, Tammy was also linked back to ex-fiancé Reece Hawkins, with insiders claiming the influencer has been spending time with him at her Gold Coast home.

Tammy and Reece, who split in 2018 after four years together, share two children, son Wolf, 10, and daughter Saskia, eight.
