The Bachelor’s Tim Robards posts an eggplant emoji on Tully Smyth’s racy selfie as his wife Anna Heinrich prepares to give birth – but insists the comment was a ‘joke’
Tim Robards posed an eggplant emoji on Tully Smyth’s Instagram selfie last week.
Tully, who found fame on Big Brother Australia in 2013, had uploaded a racy photo of herself showing off her cleavage in a plunging black top.
‘Take care of your skin, it’s the biggest organ we’ve got’, Tully wrote in her caption, before tagging a skincare clinic.

Tim, 37, whose wife Anna Heinrich, 33, announced her pregnancy earlier this month, commented underneath the photo: ‘For some [eggplant emoji, wink emoji]’.
The eggplant emoji is commonly used to represent a penis. Tully ‘liked’ Tim’s comment but did not post a reply.
When Daily Mail Australia reached out for comment from Tim, he replied: ‘It’s was a joke, not suggestive, she’s a friend.’

It comes as Tim prepares to welcome his first child with wife Anna, who he met on The Bachelor in 2013.
The Neighbours star announced his big news via Instagram on May 2, uploading several photos of the couple cradling Anna’s stomach and holding a picture of their baby’s ultrasound.
‘We’ve been keeping busy in lockdown…’, Tim cheekily began his post.

‘I can’t wait to be a Dad!!! The giddy feelings in my stomach show there must be a few nerves, but I know Anna’s going to be an absolutely amazing mother and I couldn’t be more excited to start a family with her!’ he added.
Tim and Anna tied the knot in 2018 in a lavish Italian wedding ceremony surrounded by friends and family.
One month after their nuptials, Tim relocated to Melbourne after landing the role of Pierce Greyson on Neighbours, leaving Anna behind to hold down the fort in Sydney.
The expectant parents are currently self-isolating together in Sydney’s easter suburbs as they wait out the COVID-19 pandemic.
