Olympic boxer Harry Garside has been released on bail after he was arrested for allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend shortly after landing in Sydney following his role in I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
Garside, 25, was stopped by NSW police on Tuesday after returning from South Africa, where he came close to second to former champion netball player Liz Ellis on I’m a Celeb.
The Olympic bronze medalist is accused of committing domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend, Ash Ruscoe, in March at a Bondi estate.
After spending two hours at a Sydney police station, Garside said he would release a full statement in due course, but told 7News the arrest was “very confrontational.”
The champion men’s lightweight boxer won bronze for Australia at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and has won seven Australian national boxing championships.

The 25-year-old athlete was then taken to a nearby police station where he was questioned about an alleged incident that happened in March with his ex-girlfriend.
Ruscoe, a wellness instructor and personal trainer, competed on another Ten reality show, The Amazing Race Australia, with former partner Sidney Pierucci.
The alleged altercation took place at Ruscoe’s Bondi apartment complex and required police intervention.
Garside recently shared a photo of himself and his father on Instagram taken in business class on a Qantas flight.
He captioned the post, “Had to upgrade my best friend to do business with me. What an experience it has been. Something I will never forget, friendships that will last a lifetime.’
