Tammy Hembrow's ex and baby daddy Matt Poole appears to take a swipe at fitness influencer following her split from husband Matt Zukowski
Matt Poole appeared to take a thinly veiled swipe at his ex, Tammy Hembrow, on Thursday.
The swimming coach, who split from the fitness influencer at the end of 2023, shed light on the difficulties of co-parenting after receiving 'fifty missed calls and messages' from Tammy, whom he shares three-year-old Posy with.
He said it was 'never easy' raising children separately, especially when it comes to travel arrangements.
'I'll tell you what, co-parenting is never easy,' the 37-year-old said in a video taken in his car.
'But when you check your phone to see fifty missed calls and messages, and Posy is supposed to go to Queenstown this afternoon only to realise that her passport is at my house.

'God damn,' he said, as he showed the Australian passport in his hand.
'Panic stations,' Matt, who also shares newborn son Parker with his partner Annelyse, captioned the clip.
'Passport dropped, holiday saved,' he added.
It comes after news broke that Tammy, 31, has fled the country in the wake of her split from husband Matt Zukowski, 29.
The pair are headed for divorce after just seven months of marriage, and the social media star has jetted off to New Zealand to rest and recuperate.
In a post shared to Instagram on Thursday, Tammy announced she was heading to Queenstown with her kids, before sharing footage of the family at the airport.
'Errands before our lil getaway. Honestly, this couldn't have come at a more perfect time' Tammy wrote in her caption.
'Guys, give me all your Queenstown recommendations' she added alongside a series of images in which she posed alongside her car.

Tammy later uploaded some short videos in which she was at the airport with her children to her Instagram Stories.
One clip showed her daughter enjoying a snack and a dance; another showed her son complaining about the price of airport food.
It comes a day after Tammy revealed that she feels 'lost' after announcing her split.
The influencer is looking toward the future and is hopeful she can rebuild from the ashes, she told her fans on Instagram.
'I feel like I've lost myself a thousand times… and each time I've found something new. So here's to that,' she wrote in her caption.
The comment came alongside a carousel of images of Tammy enjoying an iced drink with what appeared to be a friend.

THREE James Bond frontrunners revealed as 007 race reaches finish line – is your favourite in the mix?
JAMES Bond fans are desperate to know who the next 007 will be - and they may now be one step closer to finding out. There are three frontrunners as the race reaches the finish line - but is your favourite in the mix? 4 4 4 With Denis Villeneuve on board as the franchise's next director, Amazon is looking at a 2028 release date for 26th instalment. Insiders have also told Variety that the studio and producers are interested in casting a British actor under the age of 30. Saltburn star Jacob Elordi, Spider-Man's Tom Holland and Babygirl actor Harris Dickinson are at the top of the wish list. Although Jacob, 28, is Australian, is does not rule him out - especially as Aussie actor George Lazenby having previously played Bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service in 1969. While there is still speculation that Aaron Taylor-Johnson, 35,or Henry Cavill, 42, are also in the running - but with them both being over 30, it may rule them out. While fan favourite Idris Elba, 52, may have missed his chance for the role after years of ducking speculation. Elsewhere a top US actor could be announced as the new James Bond according to the latest odds from the bookies. Hollywood hot property Timothee Chalamet has seen his likelihood of becoming 007 increase thanks to his previous collaborations with the acclaimed director. The star, who has twice been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor, worked with Denis Villeneuve on both Dune and Dune: Part Two - with both flicks going on to become box office hits. It has sparked speculation that their work together in the past could mean that he is a shoe-in to secure the role from Daniel Craig. James Bond expert drops huge hint about new 007 actor after he starred in movie with huge A-list actress According to new odds from Ladbrokes, Timothee has seen his odds rise to a cool 16/1. Last week, 57-year-old Denis was revealed to have been appointed the director of the 26th James Bond flick by Amazon MGM. The Canadian film-maker told how some of his "earliest movie-going memories" were linked to the James Bond movie franchise. He spoke out after his role was made public and said: "Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. "I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since 'Dr. No' with Sean Connery. I'm a die-hard Bond fan." In the statement, he added: "To me, he's sacred territory. "I intend to honour the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come. "This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honour. "Thank you to Amazon MGM Studios for their trust." Timeline of James Bond actors Over the years there have been seven actors who have played 007. The first ever James Bond film was in 1962, and this is who has played the lead role over the years: Sean Connery - The late star was the first ever actor to play Bond, and reprised the role for seven movies. George Lazenby - The star only played Bond once, but was the youngest actor to ever play the spy. Roger Moore - The late movie star spent 12 years making seven films in the famous franchise. Timothy Dalton - The smooth actor took over from Roger Moore and appeared in The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill. Pierce Brosnan - The handsome star played Bond for four movies from 1995 to 2002. Daniel Craig - The British star was the first blonde James Bond and the sixth actor to win the role in 2005. 4

I'm a mum and I judge anyone who puts their children in a kids club – I was horrified by what I saw when I dropped in
IT was supposed to be a fun-filled holiday activity - a chance for her son to enjoy some supervised play. Instead, a recent kids' club experience left mum Charlotte deeply disheartened, making her question the idea of leaving children in such an environment. Her candid account, shared with her followers on TikTok, has struck a chord with many parents. 'Whoever puts their kids into kids' club on holiday needs to give their head a f****** wobble,' Charlotte declared in a video that has since gained 603.4k views after being posted on 18 June. Charlotte, known as ' charlotteblandfordtagg ' on TikTok, was on holiday in Spain with her son Freddie when she decided to pop to the shops for some food. Hoping to leave him in the kids' club for around 20 minutes, she thought it would be a simple solution. She recounted feeling flustered upon arriving at the club, but what she found inside was far more concerning. 'The atmosphere's dead,' she described. 'There's no kids playing. Kids are just literally bundled up on these tables. "They're not even being naughty. They're literally just sat there, with no one's talking.' This was particularly shocking to Charlotte since the session had been marketed as a superhero arts and crafts event. Yet, according to her, 'there was nothing out on the table, so it was just bare tables.' Charlotte could tell her son wasn't keen on going in, but she reassured him that she wouldn't be long. Guests at this TUI resort get waterpark access The most heartbreaking moment came as she watched Freddie's attempts to fit in. She described how he approached a table, trying to find a spot, but no one acknowledged him. 'He went over to one table, and none of the kids moved to let him sit down. Then he tried another one, and then another one, but no one helped him,' she explained. Seeing her son's sadness, Charlotte knew she couldn't leave him there. 'Really sad' Calling his name, she watched as he turned to look at her with a 'really sad' expression before telling her he wouldn't stay. Despite the staff's attempts to encourage them to remain, Charlotte was unwavering in her decision to leave. Her message to other parents was clear. In her video, she addressed those who send their children to holiday clubs, urging them to consider that the kids might not be enjoying themselves. Instead of leaving Freddie at the club, Charlotte chose to spend some quality time with her boys - a decision she felt was far more worthwhile. Her video gained 587 comments as many people rushed to share their thoughts - with some being mixed. One wrote: 'Unpopular opinion…..don't take them if you're going to chuck them into a kids club. Spend quality time with them!' A second added: 'Parents who judge other parents need to give their heads a wobble.' 2 And a third commented: 'NEVER would I ever leave my child in a random kids club unattended abroad, absolutely not.' While a fourth said: 'I will never understand anyone who puts their kids in a kids club.' But someone else replied: 'Because some kids want to go. "My daughter loves it, it's an hour/two hours out of a day. My daughter did baking, games, shows, almost its ace.' Where can kids eat for free this summer?

I was on brink of death after trip of a lifetime turned into a nightmare with one drink – this is my warning to everyone
DOWNING shot after shot of vodka just hours after landing in New Zealand, backpacker Ashley King could feel herself becoming tipsy. But the then 19-year-old wasn't aiming to get drunk, these shots were a matter of life or death. 9 9 Ashley wasn't in a bar but rather a hospital with medics administering the spirit to counteract the deadly methanol that was slowly killing the student. Just 24 hours earlier on the tourist strip of Kuta - on the southern tip of Bali - Ashley had ordered a fruit-flavoured vodka-based cocktail. Little did she know it would change her entire life. 'I drank a cocktail laced with deadly methanol,' says Ashley, 32 who now lives in Calgary, Canada. 'It made me go blind and from there my life changed forever. 'It was just like any other drink I'd been served during my trip and it tasted totally normal." Waking up the next morning Ashley admits she was tired and felt a little nauseous but had swerved the worst hangover symptoms as she headed to catch her flight to Christchurch, New Zealand. But while Ashley was hangover-free, she didn't realise the devastating consequences that night in August 2011 would have on her entire life. She says: 'When I got on the plane to leave Bali, I had no idea it would be the last time I would ever be able to admire the view from a plane window.' When Ashley landed in New Zealand she found herself "feeling odd" as she made her way through customs. Grieving parents lead emotional tributes to 'beautiful' Brit lawyer poisoned by 'methanol-laced booze' in Laos She recalls: 'I struggled talking to customs officials. "I wasn't making any sense and I felt like I was going to throw up. 'I tried to convince myself it was the effects of a long flight but I knew deep down something was wrong." She was feeling worse as every minute passed. 'I felt uncoordinated and ran to the toilet feeling sick," says Ashley. 'I thought it might be a bug, I had no idea what was to come." Desperately trying to get herself together in the toilets, an airport staff member spotted Ashley and came to her aid. 'I must have looked like a proper fright, the woman was so kind and offered to drive me to my hotel,' Ashley recalls. 9 9 9 She got to her hotel room around 5pm, less than 24 hours since she had left Bali, where she tried to sleep off her symptoms. When she woke up Ashley assumed it was the early hours of the morning as everything was dim. 'I thought my iPod had died because I couldn't see the screen,' she says. 'I was annoyed because I thought the lamp I'd left on must have fused in the night as it was off." Ashley opened her door to use a communal bathroom and was greeted by what she thought was a darkened hallway. 'The hallway looked like all the lights were off," she says. "I could barely make out the floor, all I could see was a little light under the cracks of the doorways." After stumbling to the loo, Ashley realised she had locked her key in her room and visited to reception for a new one. 'I felt like I'd run a marathon getting back to my room from reception," she admits. "I'm an asthmatic and I couldn't catch my breath. I thought I was suffocating. Begged for help She struggled back to reception where she begged for help. It was then Ashley was hit by another shock when the receptionist explained that it was midday. 'I couldn't believe it, all I could see was shapes and barely colour,' Ashley recalls. 'I was terrified.' With her vision getting worse by the second, the receptionist drove Ashley to the nearest hospital. 'I kept running my hands over my face trying to make myself see or just make sense of where I was,' she says. 'I was alone in a new country, and I was relying on someone I didn't know to get me to the emergency room. 'I felt like I was suffocating, literally from my asthma attack as well as from the sheer terror of losing my sight.' At the Christchurch Hospital the teen was questioned by doctors who asked her whether she had taken any drugs. It wasn't until Ashley's blood tests came back that the awful truth of what had happened came out. 'I was told I had methanol poisoning and this was desperately serious,' Ashley recalls. 'I was told that I could be blind forever and I might not even make it through the night." Methanol is an industrial chemical found in antifreeze and windscreen washer fluid. It's not meant to be drunk by people and a mouthful of pure methanol, which is odourless and tasteless, is fatal. In some Asian countries and other popular tourist destinations, methanol can be found in bootleg liquor - homemade alcohol with methanol added and sold at very low cost to unscrupulous bar owners. It's cheaper than ethanol, so black market alcohol sellers add it to spirits to save costs, before the counterfeit alcohol is rebottled and sold in shops and bars. Between 2009 and 2014 British Government figures reveal three Brits died from methanol poisoning in Bali while most recently in November last year, British lawyer Simone White tragically died from suspected methanol poisoning at a bar in Vang Vieng, Laos, as a result of consuming contaminated alcohol. Simone's best friend, another Brit Bethany Clarke, 28 was among the eight people, who recovered. For Ashley, her poisoning meant she was now only experiencing blindness, but her breathing had become so bad she was begging to be intubated. 'The consultant refused and rang my mother," she says. "She's a nurse and told them to do whatever it took to help me." 'Whatever it took'' was Ashley having to drink more than five shots of vodka as rapidly as possible. 'It sounds crazy but one of the only ways to quickly limit the impact of methanol on the body is to make a victim drink alcohol," she explains. Ashley was told ethanol, which is in alcohol and found in higher concentrations like vodka, acts as a competitive inhibitor to the methanol. The vodka's ethanol more effectively bound and saturated the alcohol enzyme in Ashley's liver blocking the way the methanol attacked her body. 'It temporarily paralysed the toxic impact of the methanol in my system," she says. 'I was handed plastic cups with orange juice and vodka and told to down them as quickly as I could." The results of what Ashley described as 'the most bizarre drinking game ever' was her breathing returned to normal, and she started to see shapes and colours again. 'I was totally wasted, extremely drunk and happy – I was giggling and laughing, and able to breathe properly and see again,' she says. Ashley was immediately taken to the intensive care unit for the next phase of methanol poisoning treatment. The teen was put on haemodialysis, which is a way to filter her blood removing the waste, salt, and water because her kidneys couldn't cope with methanol removal. The ICU team knew making her drink vodka was only a temporary fix to slow down the poisoning. They had no idea whether she'd be alive long enough to see her mum who was flying in from Canada. 'When I woke up in the ICU I was confused," Ashley says. "I didn't properly understand the seriousness of the situation. I thought given the quick doctor-prescribed alcohol-fix I'd be off backpacking the next day. 'But as the hours wore on my doctor-induced a hangover began and fear crept in. 'I don't remember much because the hemodialysis was actually cleaning my blood of toxins. 'I couldn't see that well but I felt I was on the road to recovery.' Three days after her farewell Bali cocktail and before her mum arrived Ashley was sober enough to be told by her ICU team leader that, despite earlier hope of improvement, she was blind and there was almost no chance her sight would ever improve from its current state. Why is methanol so deadly? By Sam Blanchard, Health Correspondent METHANOL is a super-toxic version of alcohol that may be present in drinks if added by crooks to make them stronger or if they are brewed or distilled badly. The consequences can be devastating because as little as a single shot of contaminated booze could be deadly, with just 4ml of methanol potentially enough to cause blindness. Prof Oliver Jones, a chemist at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, said: 'The body converts methanol to formic acid. 'Formic acid blocks the action of an enzyme that is critical to how the body uses oxygen to generate energy. 'If it stops working, cells cannot take up or use oxygen from the blood and lack of oxygen causes problems in a range of organs as the cells start to die. 'Symptoms of methanol poisoning include vomiting, seizures and dizziness. 'The optic nerve seems to be particularly vulnerable to methanol toxicity, so there is the potential for temporary or permanent blindness, and even death. 'While thankfully rare, methanol poisoning is very serious, and treatment should be given at a hospital.' An unexpected but key way of treating methanol poisoning is to get the patient drunk with normal alcohol - known as ethanol - to distract the liver and stop it processing the methanol. 9 9 'I burst into tears and cried hysterically,' she says. Finally with her mum by her side in hospital, Ashley underwent an intensive course of intravenous steroids to try and slow the swelling on her optic nerve which was causing the blindness as it had been ravaged by the methanol and its toxins. She gained enough sight to identify colours and shade as well as shapes and a day later she could read for a short period of time. 'Initially I could see shapes, then things came back into focus but my sight didn't last," she says. A few days later the words she was reading started blurring and the terrifying darkness and blindness returned. There was nothing more hospital staff could do but send her back to the hotel with steroid tablets and directions to stay in darkness and see if there was an improvement. For almost four weeks all Ashley could do was lie on the bed listening to the songs on her iPod, being helped outside by her mum and taken to the hospital for regular checkups. 'I'd sleep and dream in vivid colour and wake up to darkness,' Ashley says. 'I lay there and every day the nightmare got worse. 'I wasn't just learning to cope with a 'new normal' of blindness but the loss of my future. 'The career I planned was dead, I thought I'd never go to university, never get married or have kids and I'd be bed bound and blind. 'I thought my life was over.' When Ashley and her mum finally returned to Calgary Ashley moved into her parents' basement as her room was being rented out. 'My parents were amazing but by now my grief had reached the anger phase,' she says. 'I hated the world, I was angry with everyone, and I was just awful to anyone in the house. 'I was alone in my loss of sight, the loss of the ability to put on my own make-up, shop for new clothes, cook my own food or even cross the street. 'It's overwhelming.' Slowly though Ashley admits her anger phase gave way to determination and denial. 'I had salt and pepper or snow blizzard vision. Doctors describe it as 2% sight,' she says. 'It's like your world is static on television, that's all you see except for the occasional shape. 'I tried to carry on as normal and meet friends but when I tried to cross a road and got hit by a car, 'I luckily didn't suffer any injuries but it served as a wake up call for me. I realised some parts of my life had to change. 'I came to the realisation that if I were to regain part of my old life I needed help to learn to live with my disability.' Ashley received support from local blind awareness charities and learned to use a magnifying kit to try and enable her to read some words. 'I refused to have a guide dog, use a white cane, or wear dark glasses,' she says. 'I didn't want special treatment. I wanted to be normal and treated normally.' And with patience, Ashley was able to find her new normal. Holiday warning In 2013, two years after the methanol poisoning Ashley was backpacking again not just in Canada but across the globe. She explains: 'I've visited seven countries in South America, Europe, and India. I spent nine months in Southampton doing an exchange in January 2016. 'I achieved my goal of going to university and graduated with a degree in journalism.' Ashley is now working as an actor and playwright having completed a Master Class Actor training program. Ashley wrote a play STATIC: A Party Girls Memoir about her experience and it is now available as a four-part podcast on Spotify. She also went on to find love with long-term boyfriend, Trent, 35, a goldmine project manager who she met online in May 2020. 'I have become a new me with a new normal and I am shining,' she says. 'What happened to me taught me to be braver. 'While it should never have happened, I cannot give into the anger and depression which wracked me in the days and months after the poisoning occurred.' Ashley is urging all Brits travelling to Bali and parts of Asia known for outbreaks of methanol poisoning to adopt a 'DRINK BEER AND STEER CLEAR' policy. 'Before I was blind, I loved my cocktails and spirit mixes,' she says. 'Now when I travel its beer or canned cocktails or canned wines – to ensure there has been no tampering. 'Now it's my job to warn the millions of Brits planning summer holidays this could also happen to you. 'I was not a silly teenager being wild on an overseas holiday. I was a careful and aware traveller. 'I am your living walking reality check - please listen to what happened to me so it doesn't become your nightmare.' 9 9
