Brendan Fevola left his Melbourne morning meal radio co-hosts stunned with an enormous on-air expose on Tuesday early morning.
The previous AFL celebrity remembered a current case to Fifi Box, Nick Cody and The Fox program’s support, Josiah Shala, when he had a check out from the constable’s workplace for almost $26,000 in outstanding toll fines.
“They say ‘You’ve got 79 outstanding arrest warrants’,” he remembered.

“And I was like, ‘sorry, what?’ Because I went bankrupt in 2011 or 2012, so I just assumed all your stuff gets wiped and I didn’t have any warrants or parking fines but this is what it dates back to – like 13 years ago.
“I asked just how much it was, and he stated the outstanding require that you have to pay now instantly, ‘You owe $25,945’.”

Fevola’s co-stars each looked equally horrified by the number. Cody said it sounded like a scam but the footballer insisted it was accurate.
“It’s composed right there – it’s all tolls from when I was driving to Yarrawonga, and things,” he stated.
The father-of-four asked what would certainly occur if he could not pay the almost $26,000 instantly and was informed a constable’s policeman would certainly go into your home to take products they thought would certainly build up to that worth as security up until the number was repaid.
He informed his co-stars he had to return inside your home and draw his companion, Alex, out of a company conference to go over the concern as she manages their funds.
The 43-year-old defined Alex’s response to the information, claiming “she was definitely unclean”.
“They stated if we can not discover something in your home that’s to the matching of 26k, after that we’ll take you and Alex goes, ‘Oh well, for how long will you take him for?'” he said with a laugh.
“And they stated 60 days, and I considered it.”
In the end Alex paid on her bankcard after they wouldn’t let her use a credit card that would give her points for the payment.

Brendan and Alex initially wed in 2005 yet split in December 2006 complying with claims of cheating, so they were not with each other while the Carlton and Brisbane Lions gamer had actually stated his personal bankruptcy.
In a March 2011 tell-all meeting with The Footy Show the AFL celebrity exposed the midsts of his betting dependency - confessing he’d lost $365,000 gambling on horses in a single day, with close to $1 million blown on gambling over time.
Brendan and Alex reignited their love story after their divorce was finalised in 2014 and got engaged again in 2016.
In November 2018 the couple were surprised to welcome daughter Tobi – now six – who joined daughters Leni and Lulu, as well as Mia, Alex’s daughter from a previous relationship.
Announcing the pregnancy on-air in May 2018, Fev told his then co-hosts the news was very unexpected.
“We got an 18 [year old] … we’ve got a 12-year-old and we have an eight-year-old. So we would certainly shut up shop, I didn’t think it worked anymore, that it was all done and dusted,” he said at the time.
