Beau Ryan has made a shock confession about a less-than-stellar experience with erectile dysfunction medication.
The TV and radio star, 40, revealed on his Triple M Breakfast show Beau, Cat & Woodsy on Wednesday, that he got a little more than he bargained for when sampling a pill gifted by a friend.
He revealed to co-hosts Aaron Woods and Cat Lynch his ordeal began after receiving the unique gift at his recent 40th birthday bash.
‘On my 40th birthday a couple of weeks ago, my mates gave us presents, but one of my close mates, as a joke, he popped a Cialis in my pocket, which is like Viagra for those that don’t know,’ the former rugby league star admitted.
He went on to explain he had completely forgotten about the little pill until discovering it in his jacket after arriving home last Friday night.

He told his wife Kara about the unexpected gift, and the intrigued couple began to research its properties.
‘I said to my wife Kara, “I’ve got one of these Cialis”,’ he said. ‘We started googling it and looking into it and I said, “I should take it”.’
‘So, I had it. I was like, “Let’s just ride this out and see what happens”.’
Beau went on to reveal that after popping the pill, he waited on his bed in anticipation for the pill to work its magic – but was left disappointed.
‘The first hour I was laying there I was really excited, but I was so tired from the week that I was still trying to get myself up and excited for it,’ he said, before admitting he promptly put a movie on and fell asleep.
The ordeal didn’t end there, with Beau then revealing it all came to a head when he woke the following morning.
‘I wake up around 6am to go to the bathroom and get ready for Saturday. I’ve got my son’s footy and soccer, my daughter’s soccer, and I’ve got a pitched tent like you wouldn’t believe,’ Beau candidly admitted.
‘I can’t even describe it. It couldn’t be more pitched,’ he added.

A shocked Cat asked Beau if he was able to ‘take care of it and then it stops?’.
The footy star admitted that nothing he could do would allay the effects of the pill.
To make matters worse, Beau went on to explain that the pill continued to work its magic for an entire day of sporting activities with children Remi, 11, and Jesse, seven.
‘Not only was I pitching a tent at soccer, we had photos for the footy afterwards at 10am and I’m pitching a tent still,’ he continued.
‘Then, my son plays footy just before midday, the tent is still up. Then my daughter’s soccer game is in the afternoon – the tent is still well and truly up.’
Beau said he was still feeling the side effects from the pill when he finally arrived home that afternoon, but was unable to take advantage.
‘Finally, I come in and have a shower and literally on cue as Kara walks in the door the tent comes down,’ he said.
‘It was the first window in my week where Kara said, “the kids are busy out there let’s lock the door”.’
Beau recently revealed the reason behind his shock exit from I’m A Celebrity…Get me Out Of Here! in 2022.
Speaking on air in January, Beau said his stint on the Channel Ten show was filmed during Covid lockdowns and left him feeling exhausted.
His erectile ordeal didn’t end there however, with Beau then revealing it all came to a head when he woke the following morning for a full day of sport with children Remi, 11, and Jesse, 7.
‘Watching the new season of IAC last night, brought back a lot of memories. It was a Covid series and about a month before I agreed to go on the jungle, we were meant to go on The Amazing Race for a season so I’d done quarantine,’ Beau began.
‘Then it was deemed too dangerous to continue the series. I was 12 days in to quarantine, came out and agreed to do the jungle… two more weeks of quarantine!’
Beau said the consecutive stints in isolation took a toll on both his mental and physical wellbeing and he was not in a good place when he began his stint on IAC.
‘I was so mentally cooked and physically drained. I just had to get home. I was concerned about my wife who was home-schooling the kids,’ he continued.
‘My wife was alone with the kids, no access to family. I’m not making any excuses, I carried on like a pork chop.’
The presenter added that while he regretted leaving the show under such circumstances he had to do what was right for his family.
In 2022, in what was I’m a Celebrity’s eighth season, Beau walked out on the 14th day in the jungle – which cost him $200,000.
