Former Married at First Sight groom Ryan Gallagher and Bachelorette heartthrob Konrad Bien-Stephens have come to blows whilst filming Channel 10’s The Challenge.
Despite their shared experience on romance reality TV, it was clear that the pair did not have much in common, their on air exchanges notably tense.
Speaking with Now to Love, Konrad revealed that whilst his initial gameplay was to ”avoid standing out”, and avoid drawing a target on his back, it was difficult to keep his mouth shut when faced with Ryan.
Konrad has dished the dirt on his fued with Ryan.

”It was quite clear [to viewers] that Ryan and I didn’t get along,” Konrad shares.
”He was intentionally trying to upset me. I don’t like conflict and I don’t like being confrontational but he made comments and has done things that really worked me up to the point where I broke and he just got to me.”
Elaborating further, Konrad alluded to the nasty undercurrent in many of Ryan’s comments.
”So when someone [Ryan] is making fun of you for wearing girls clothes – not that I would care if I [or anyone else] was wearing girls clothes – but I think that using that as an insult is disgusting.
”He just made a lot of comments that really didn’t sit right with me.”

So worked up by Ryan, Konrad also admitted that they almost got into a fight.
”I’m not proud of the way I reacted, especially on the day we almost got into an ”altercation.”
”If I could do my time [on The Challenge] again, I would change my emotional reactions to people in the house who were trying to manipulate me or were trying to break me in that sense.”
”I wish things played out differently for sure.”
Now to Love did reach out to Ryan for comment but he declined, a representative denying any wrongdoing or unbecoming behaviour on his part whilst he was filming the show.
Filming The Challenge was a far cry from Married at First Sight for Ryan.
(IMAGE: Channel 10)It remains to be seen what else took place that didn’t make it to air, but Konrad says it was easy to understand why things ”were missed.”
”There was a lot of drama that didn’t make it [to screens], but I guess when you are filming for three days to make a 45-minute episode in a PG timeslot that a lot of things are going to get missed.”
