GRANT’S SEX TAPE HELL
The troubled star’s latest scandal is threatening to derail his Family Feud comeback!
As Grant Denyer readies himself for a comeback – with Ten’s Family Feud returning to our screens later this year – the TV host is terrified a sex tape he filmed in his teenage years could be leaked at any moment.
Talking on radio last week, Grant, 42, revealed he lives in fear over the tape, which shows him having “intimate and consensual intercourse” with his ex-girlfriend when he was 18 years old.
“There’s [a tape] out there somewhere. It was an intimate moment with me and my girlfriend at the time,” he revealed. “I was a [high school] student at the time. I borrowed a camera from the media department [to film it].”
NAUGHTY & SPICY
The TV personality said the tape, which he watched back with his girlfriend and co-star at the time, is both “naughty” and “spicy”. “I look amazing in it, and I put in an A-grade performance... I was really happy with the angles.”
And while he relished in the novelty of the recording at the time, Grant – who went on to marry Chezzi Denyer, and the

couple have two daughters, Scout, eight, and Sailor, four – says he’s terrified that the tape will resurface and ruin his career. “I don’t know where it is now. I fear I left it in someone else’s possession,” he says.
Grant hinted that the relationship didn’t end well and the ex-girlfriend could bitterly leak the tape.
“You know, relationships don’t always end that amicably and you get nervous about their intentions.”
FAMILY FRIENDLY
The revelation could derail Grant’s TV comeback, with his return to Family Feud only announced the previous week.
Talking to Woman’s Day, an industry insider said Ten is in disarray over Grant’s admission, particularly as he’s currently on the promo trail for the family-friendly show.
“The focus is meant to be around Family Feud and the frontline workers we’re celebrating,” our source says. “A sex tape isn’t really the kind of scandal the network wants its host associated with.”
After a two-year hiatus, Ten announced the show was returning as a “10-episode special prime-time event” later this year. Hosted by Grant, it will give emergency and healthcare workers the opportunity to win $100,000 in prize money.
As Grant slowly increases his work schedule, there are fears history could repeat itself after a horror year in 2019 saw him derail his career over numerous health conditions.
In March last year, Grant was rushed to hospital when he ruptured a disc after an accident on his Bathurst property. The ordeal meant he had to abandon several of his lucrative gigs, including his 2Day FM radio show and his hosting role on Dancing With The Stars.
In August, fans again expressed concern after the dishevelled-looking star was spotted appearing to have collapsed on a couch before a flight at Sydney airport.
Later Grant told fans on social media that he’d been made bedridden after contracting a parasite called cryptosporidiosis.
“Not an ounce of fluid left in me, it’s horrid. During the night I threw up the only meal I’ve eaten in four days. This is some hardcore bug! I’m a human sprinkler!” he said at the time.
Prior to that, Grant was also involved in a horrific car crash in 2018 during the Australian Tarmac Rally Championship in Victoria and had fractured his back from an accident behind the wheel during a monster truck event in 2008.
