KATE Fischer was once famously engaged to James Packer, but after they split up, she apparently rebounded with Nova’s Ryan “Fitzy” Fitzgerald.
On his Sydney breakfast show, the 40-year-old host revealed he once dated Fischer — who now goes by the name Tziporah Malkah — after she split from Packer in 1998.
“I got to know her. She sold her Bondi apartment that James gave her and she bought this amazing place down at Clovelly on the cliff, right down the road from Clovelly Hotel,” he admitted during an interview with Dr Chris Brown and Julia Morris. They were discussing which personalities might pop up on next year’s season of I’m A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here! when Fitzy’s co-host, Michael “Wippa” Wipfli let the Kate Fischer goss slip.
“I used to be a bit of a local down there (Clovelly) — the ladies used to know me down there,” Fitzy continued. “I met her one day and we became acquaintances and yeah ... Kissing on the lips. Haven’t spoken to her since,’ he added.
The radio host now has two kids to his wife of eight years, Belinda.
Fischer has been making headlines of late, with the 43-year-old telling Kyle & Jackie O this week she took $500,000 of jewellery she had been given by Packer over the years and threw it into the ocean.
She also revealed in New Idea this week that doctors have told her she is “morbidly obese” and is “likely to die prematurely unless I lose weight.”
