Brendan Fevola has arisen from his I’m A Celebrity experience the most unlikely white swan. And we bet all of Australia is currently re-evaluating their previously conceived judgement of old Fev.
One thing that perhaps isn’t as much a surprise to the audience, however, is the fact Fevola seems like the type of guy who will do whatever the hell wants.
And that he did.
As it turns out, when Fevola announced last night to the hundreds of thousands of viewers watching at home that he would donate half of his winning to his runner-up’s charity, he hadn’t even told his great mate Shane Warne — also known as the man whose charity Fevola initially promised the $100,000 worth of winnings to.
Fevola appeared on The Project this evening to chat about his win, and was probed by prominent brain cancer advocate Carrie Bickmore, as to whether or not Shane Warne was actually aware that Fevola had decided to split his winnings with Paul Harragon’s charity, The Mark Hughes Foundation.

Good on him! I certainly didn't have anything nice to say about Brendan fevola before but I'm really glad he went on the show because he has redeemed himself, he did get help when he needed it and he has become a really great guy. Australia needed to see that. Unfortunately bit everyone gets that chance.
Yes, I think he is a great bloke, reminds me of rugby league's Willie Mason. The latter was given a final chance and was able to play NRL. Fevola was virtually blacklisted by the AFL and retired prematurely. Perhaps his old club Carlton could pick him up cheaply as I'm sure he still has more to offer. Currently Carlton are permanent losers.
