Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald has revealed he was unwillingly an accomplice to a robbery when he was a teenager.

Speaking on his Nova FM radio show Fitzy & Wippa last week, he admitted to potentially driving the getaway car after a friend stole a safe. 

Fitzy explained to co-host Michael 'Wippa' Wipfli: 'I had to pick him up to go to another friend's house. He said "can you come and get me and on the way can you stop at my father-in-law's house because I need to pick something up".'

He continued: 'I pulled the car over, he jumped out of the car. I watched him jump the back fence and he was gone for 10 to 15 mins.'

'Then all of a sudden the back gate opens and he's got a safe and two plants.'

Fitzy revealed his friend then placed the items in the back of his car and told him to start driving.

Speaking on his radio program Fitzy & Wippa in July, he said his friends pocketed $70,000 after selling his iconic Massive Loser Squad T-shirts, but by the time he was out of the house that it had dwindled down to $10,000.

'I took these T-shirts in and as a joke I said to the guy let’s have them trademarked - so we copyrighted MLS,' he said.

Fitzy explained that he had no idea his friends were selling them until he was evicted from the house in fourth place.
