Bryce Ruthven is making headlines this week for brutally telling new ‘wife’ Melissa Rawson that she’s ‘not her type’ during Wednesday’s episode of Married At First Sight.
And now, the former radio presenter, 31, has slammed his ex-fiancée Lana Bongioletti live on Hit Hobart 100.9.
Speaking to hosts Jimmy and Nath this week, Bryce took a swipe and called his ex ‘the devil’ and said she’s ‘not the best person in the world.’
Shocking: Married At First Sight’s Bryce Ruthven appeared on Jimmy and Nath this week and slammed his ex-fiancée Lana Bongioletti and called her ‘the DEVIL’
‘The devil?’ he said when asked about his ex.
Bryce went on to say that he reached out to Lana to inform her that he was going on MAFS out of ‘common courtesy.’
‘Obviously she’s not a fan of me doing the show. She is in a relationship now and has a new boyfriend. They’re living together and from what I’m told, they watched the show together, which is great for them,’ he said.
Ouch: The former radio presenter added that he ‘wasn’t happy’ with his ex and went on to say that she ‘wasn’t the best person’
He added that he ‘wasn’t happy’ with his ex and went on to say that she ‘wasn’t the best person’.
‘I know I wouldn’t want to watch my ex with my new girlfriend. Look, I ended it… I just wasn’t happy with her, to be honest. She’s not the worst person in the world – but she’s not the best either. That’s probably the best way to describe it.’
Bryce and Lana reportedly ended their five-year relationship earlier last year, just months before he filmed MAFS.
Meanwhile Bryce caused a stir on Married At First Sight on Wednesday, when he made ‘wife’ Melissa cry when he admitted that she isn’t his ‘type.’

Brutal: During Wednesday’s episode, Bryce and Melissa, both 31, were tasked with the daunting assignment of opening the honesty box
During Wednesday’s episode, Bryce and Melissa, both 31, were tasked with the daunting assignment of opening the honesty box.
Laying down on the floor of their cabin with a platter of fruit nearby, Bryce asked Melissa: ‘What were your first impressions when you first laid eyes on me?’
Melissa said that she was instantly attracted to Bryce, and even turned to her grandparents with excitement.
Melissa then turned to Bryce and asked: ‘Am I your usual type?’
After taking a moment to think, Bryce responded: ‘It’s a tough question. I’ll be completely honest. Not 100 per cent.
Awkward: Melissa then turned to Bryce and asked: ‘Am I your usual type?’
‘I’ve always gone for the blonde hair, blue eyes, tanned kind of girl, and someone that’s, like, usually taller.’
Bryce then confessed to his bride that he probably wouldn’t go up to her in a bar and buy her a drink.
A heartbroken Melissa began to cry, wiping tears away from her eyes.
‘But definitely when I first saw you, I was like… “You’re not my type, you have got blonde hair. She’s not ugly,”‘ he continued.
Bryce’s candid admission left his bride speechless, and she later told a producer: ‘I don’t want to be that emotional girl but, it’s not a nice feeling.’
‘Were you hoping that I would say that you were the most gorgeous girl in the world?’ Bryce then asked her, before adding that he felt she looked hurt.
‘I can’t help the way you feel, except that maybe I probably wouldn’t have been intimate with you,’ she confessed.
