Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald' reveals details of his physical altercation with pint-sized Justin Bieber at Coachella.

Just days after Justin was filmed being put in a chokehold and manhandled out of a venue at Coachella, comes Fitzy’s on-air revelation of his own exchange with the 21-year-old pop star and his entourage.

Currently on leave from his breakfast slot for a week, Fitzy called in to update the crew of his adventures at the renowned Californian music festival.

“I was running around, jumping around,” Fitzy said.

“I’m on my phone, right, I’m walking with my head down and my backpack on. I’d had a few beers.”

“I look up and it’s just a wall… of huge black guys. And down the front was this little dweeb. Justin Bieber is right in front of my face.”

Despite former AFL ruckman Fitzy’s 199cm stature, 175cm Bieber’s posse wasn’t letting him walk past.

Fitzy shared multiple snaps of his adventures at the festival with his mates, including posing with musicians from Vance Joy and Peking Duk.

“He put his hands out and pushed into my side and I’m like, ‘You’re kidding yourself mate, I’m twice the size of you’.”

“I sort of leaned into him and these huge guys just grabbed me by the backpack and have just thrown me into the fence on the side.”

Clearly size doesn’t matter when you have a crew of huge security guys on your payroll!

It’s not the first reports of Biebs getting into trouble at the massive festival either. Fitzy’s tale follows a video released on the weekend that appears to show Bieber being escorted out by security after being denied entry to the VIP area at Drake’s gig because they were already at capacity. TMZ reports that he was reportedly put in a chokehold and forcefully removed from the area.

Despite his encounter with Justin, Fitzy is still having a ball, sharing loads of pictures to his Instagram account as he hangs out with Vance Joy and Peking Duk.
