Tammy Hembrow has taken a savage swipe at her former Bailey Smith as she enters her ‘new dating era’.
The fitness influencer, 31, recently revealed a collaboration with dating app Tinder following her brief dalliance with the AFL star, 24.
Tammy took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a sponsored Tinder clip in which she revealed what traits in a man gave her ‘butterflies’ or ‘the ick’.
In a thinly veiled dig at Bailey, Tammy revealed that men who only want to talk about footy were definitely in the ‘ick’ column.
‘Only because I don’t know anything about footy,’ the blonde beauty confessed.
‘I can’t really contribute to that conversation.’

Potential paramours take note, as Tammy also offered a raft of other red and green flags for the man in her life.
She admitted that men who do not have social media are sure to give her butterflies, as was a man who was willing to pick her up for a date.
A suitor willing to carry Tammy’s bag is also sure to get a big tick, as is one who is divorced with children.
When it comes to red flags, however, Tammy said that grown men who refer to their mother as ‘mummy’ need not apply, likewise any night owls who want to message her after 10pm.
Tammy’s comments come after she recently discussed a ‘boring’ man whom she dated – with many suspecting she was taking a swipe at Bailey.
She told the Mad About You podcast earlier this month that she hasn’t dated many men since her divorce from Love Island star Matthew Zukowski.
‘I haven’t been on many dates until recently, really. But I did go on a date with a guy. It’s literally the only guy I went on a date with… he was just so boring,’ she said.
‘If I speak to someone online or meet them online I want to meet them face to face straight away. I’m not really a texter or anything like that, if you’re trying to talk to me I need to meet you face to face,’ she went on.

‘So we went on a date and it was just like… I was just so bored. He was really like lovely. I’m like super goofy and weird and hyperactive and I can’t be bored.’
Tammy then conceded: ‘I was nervous as well. Maybe I’m boring and he’s matching my energy.’
Fans accused Tammy of staging the romance for publicity after she revealed she had partnered with dating app Tinder, just three months after Bailey announced his collaboration with the dating app as an ambassador.
‘I am officially in my new dating era and, yes, I’m on Tinder looking for my next crush,’ she began in the Instagram clip, which she filmed in her car wearing a revealing white T-shirt.
‘My dating life always seems to make headlines but you’re hearing it first. I’m officially putting myself back out there.’
Seemingly hinting at her brief fling with Bailey, Tammy added: ‘Honestly, I feel like everyone thinks dating has to be so serious, it’s supposed to be fun!’
‘So I’m on Tinder to see who’s out there. Hopefully I’ll meet people who match my vibe and, if it turns into something more, even better.’
She signed off the paid advertisement with, ‘If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. Go find your next crush on Tinder too.’

Many fans were quick to point out that her Tinder partnership must be a sign that her relationship with Bailey was a PR stunt.
‘I’m convinced their fling was a publicity stunt for this and I love it!!’ a fan wrote.
One person chimed in: ‘Another publicity stunt! Probably getting paid way too much for it.’
Meanwhile, others cheered Tammy for getting back on the horse and even suggested she turn to reality TV next.
‘Pleasseeee do love island omg you would kill it,’ one person begged.
Another fan wrote: ‘Can you just be the next bachelorette please.’
News of Tammy’s new career move came after weeks of sightings of the couple that kept fans and media guessing.
Matt, 30, and Tammy got engaged in December 2023 after just three months of dating.
They tied the knot almost a year later, in November 2024, but split rumours began to circulate earlier this year.
After just seven months of marriage, the pair announced in June they were divorcing.
