The former professional NRL player made 127 appearances for the Wests Tigers and Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, until an injury cut his career short.

In 2020, Beau swapped the footy field for the dancefloor, joining the cast of Dancing With The Stars on 10, and 2022 saw Beau jump headfirst into jungle life on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, also on 10.

A man of many talents, Beau is a regular contributor on KIIS FM’s The Kyle and Jackie O Show, 10’s morning show Studio 10 and has even released his own cookbook, Beau’s Kitchen.
