“In the eastern suburbs, every chick is sort of chasing footballers or chasing money and it’s all about that,” Gallagher, who first appears on the Channel 9 show tonight, said. “I see straight through that shit.

“I know what people are like and I haven’t come across anyone in three years that is someone for me.

“I want to find a woman not looking for fame.”

But eastern suburbs cousins Georgina and Sabrina said Gallagher’s claim was off-side.

“As long as someone is a genuine, loyal and caring guy that’s all I care about,” Georgina said. And Sabrina agreed.

“Just someone with a good sense of humour you can have fun with. That’s what’s im­portant,” she said.
