DAN’S NEW LOVE
MAFS MAN’S FOOTY FORAY
MARRIED at First Sight‘s Dan Webb has declared the “old dog is back at it,” after he survived his first rugby league appearance in over a year.
The reality TV contestant, known for his scandalous on screen romance with ex and co-star Jessika Power, strutted his stuff in his season debut for the Currumbin Eagles, in their triumphant match against the Ormeau Shearers yesterday.
Webb, who has endured a public breakup and being charged in relation to an ongoing court case after an alleged boiler room scam, said it was instead a scooter that had left him defeated.
“I hadn’t played since last year when I came off a scooter in Bali. I hurt my shoulder and my foot.”
After returning to training on Thursday, Webb who usually plays hooker, was in the second row yesterday and even scored a try.
The car salesman said he was also in training for a charity boxing match to raise money for mental health non-profit Livin next month.
Webb, who admitted he had never been in a fight, said he was yet to find out who his opponent would be after Love Island pin-up Eden Dally pulled out: “It all started with a Q and A on Instagram and then we thought ‘Why not, do something for charity?’.
“I thought it would be interesting to give things a go but sounds like the Eden Dally bloke pulled out.”
When asked if he thought his Love Island counterpart was scared to face him, Webb laughed and said he wasn’t sure.
Outside of his boxing and football regimen, Webb said he was focused on work.
“Back into the cars, that stuff is keeping me busy,” he said. “It’s good to be back, the show was a bit of a whirlwind.”
The Gold Coast boy said his time in the limelight hadn’t helped any sales.
“I am on the phone so introducing myself as Dan from MAFS would be a bit weird wouldn’t it?” he laughed.
Outside of a recent rendezvous with his ex Jess Power, Webb said he had not been in contact.
“I don’t know if she will be coming to the fight, we haven’t really spoken,” Webb said.
