If there’s one person that embraced the mantra “New year, new me”, it’s Matty McLean. He’s entered 2023 as a happy newlywed after tying to knot to his longtime partner Ryan Teece and has a newfound confidence after a life-changing experience in Treasure Island: Fans v Faves.
“I have been very open about the self-doubt that I have been plagued with at various points in my life and playing this game has brought a lot of those emotions to the fore,” says the 36-year-old candidly. “I definitely feel more confident and I have more belief in myself.”
The defining moment was a recent challenge where he competed alongside Dame Susan Devoy, 59. They had to use nothing but their brute strength to push the opposition back past their flag to take out the win for their team.
Stepping into the arena, Matty had no belief in his abilities and felt the challenge was lost before they’d even begun. When their competitors very quickly had them on the back foot, Matty all but gave up until he heard the screams of Susan cheering him on and something changed inside him.
