The Challenge Australia 2022 and Olympic swimmer Emily Seebohm had the MOST awkward encounter with her ex-boyfriend who volunteered to emcee her upcoming wedding to Ryan Gallagher.

The 30-year-old swimmer was a guest on Nova Brisbane’s Ash, Luttsy and Susie O’Neill show, hosted by David ‘Luttsy’ Lutteral, aka Emily’s ex.

Emily and David, who is 16 years her senior, confirmed their relationship in 2019 and split the following year.

Now we don’t know if the awkward vibes were going both ways because David deviated from chatting about Emily’s future Olympic prospect to talk about her new fiancee, Married at First Sight 2018 groom Ryan.

ICYMI: Emily and Ryan announced their engagement in March, just three months after going public with their relationship.

They met during the inaugural Aussie season of the Channel Ten reality show, The Challenge, with So Dramatic! exclusively revealing in September 2022 that they were more than just teammates.

We’re not about to jump to conclusions and assume David wanted to see his ex squirm under pressure, he’s a professional with two decades of media experience, but regardless, Emily handled the questions pretty well.

‘We really got along [on The Challenge],” the three-time gold medallist said of her fiancee.

“The show is about people who stab you in the back, or [about how] you really can’t trust people, and he is just one of the people that you can actually trust on reality TV.

“We got on like a house on fire and then we came back and we basically were like, ‘This is it’.”

Perhaps in a bid to avoid radio silence, David piped up and offered to emcee Emily and Ryan’s wedding.

His co-hosts Ashley Bradnam and Susie O’Neill, clearly shocked by the offer, laughed nervously before Emily replied: “I think we might pass on that.” Awks!

The 34-year-old former MAFS star revealed he got down on one knee and proposed next to a dam on his farm in Goulburn, NSW.

“When you know you know,” he admitted. “I did get nervous though. The [ring] box was making a bit of a bulge in my pocket. So either she knew I was proposing or she just thought I was happy to see her!”
