How sweet! Ryan Gallagher posts a loving tribute to his mother Vickie as she heads off to night shift as a nurse – without his freshly baked cupcakes
He won hearts as a loveable larrikin on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Australia earlier this year.
But on Wednesday, Ryan Gallagher, 31, paid tribute to his mother Vickie.
‘My mums a nurse and I’m bloody proud of her,’ he captioned a photo of the two of them on Instagram, right before his mother headed off to night shift.

In the photo, Ryan is seen shirtless, with his arm lovingly around his mother.
Meanwhile, Vickie looks pleased as punch as she beams from ear to ear in her navy blue nursing scrubs.
However, it wasn’t too long before the joker was back to his regular tricks.
Ryan went onto share a video to his Instagram Stories which showed him pulling freshly baked cupcakes out of the oven.
Whoops! Ryan later revealed he’d made Vickie cupcakes which she refused to take to work after he covered them in a lumpy yellow icing which didn’t quite work out
‘Mums on night shift tonight and I made some cupcakes and said take some to work,’ he said.
‘She just came out and said there’s not a f**king chance she’s taking these to work,’ before panning to the baking disasters covered in a lumpy, yellow icing.
Ryan’s close relationship with his mother was evident when he spoke candidly about her battle with breast cancer while on I’m A Celebrity.

‘My mum first got diagnosed when I was five, with breast cancer. She beat it, smashed it,’ Ryan told his campmates.
‘When I was 15, it came back. Beat it again. Then, she lost both her breasts. Then it came back when I was 25. Beat it again. And then it came back when I was 30.
‘Breast cancer means a lot because I could lose my best friend from it,’ Ryan said.
Ryan selected the National Breast Cancer Foundation as his charity of choice on the reality show.
