Matt Zukowski suffered one of sport’s most humiliating mishaps after being pooped on by a bird while attending a tennis match in Melbourne.
The former Love Island star shared the awkward moment with followers on Instagram, revealing the unlucky strike happened not once, but several times as he sat in the stands at the Australian Open.
Matt appeared to see the funny side as he filmed himself smiling broadly in a white T-shirt and beige trousers, accessorised with a baseball cap and dark sunglasses hanging from his collar.
But the joke quickly became clear when the camera panned down to show multiple brown splatters across his white shirt, with stains visible on his chest, waistline and even his forearm.
Captioning the footage, he quipped: ‘Apparently this means good luck,’ alongside laughing and poo emojis.
The embarrassing incident comes after Matt recently opened up about watching his former partner, Tammy Hembrow, move on in such a public way following their split.

Matt and fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow announced they had called time on their marriage in June 2025, just seven months after tying the knot.
The pair had become engaged in December 2023 after only three months of dating and married in November 2024.
In August, Tammy, 31, was photographed kissing AFL star Bailey Smith, sparking speculation she had already found love again.
Matt addressed the situation during an appearance on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, admitting the images caught him off guard.
‘I don’t think jealousy is the right word,’ he said.
‘I was doing my own healing process, and when I saw that, I was like, ‘Oh, okay.’
He added: ‘No one likes to see the person they used to love and be married to hooking up with someone else. That’s a knife to anyone’s chest, man.’
Matt also revealed he has had no contact with Tammy since announcing their split.

‘I haven’t spoken to her since we announced we were divorced. So, no contact at all,’ he said.
Reflecting on their failed marriage, Matt admitted he hoped tying the knot might resolve underlying issues.
‘I don’t think I’m the first person in history to think that a marriage is going to fix the problems in a relationship. And like I said, it didn’t. It just progressively got worse.’
After photos emerged of Tammy kissing Bailey, the Geelong Cats star later appeared on Today, insisting the pair were ‘just friends’.
Bailey went on to describe Tammy as a close confidante who had been offering him advice, calling her an older, wiser mentor.
Earlier this month, Tammy was also linked back to ex-fiancé Reece Hawkins, with insiders claiming the influencer has been spending time with him at her Gold Coast home.
Tammy and Reece, who split in 2018 after four years together, share two children, son Wolf, 10, and daughter Saskia, eight.
