YouTube sensation-turned-kebab king Spanian accidentally gave onlookers an eyeful during a trip to Sydney’s Balmoral Beach over the weekend.
As temperatures soared during Saturday’s heatwave, the reformed criminal, 37, soaked up the sun with his 22-year-old girlfriend Ava Jean Walker.
But as the couple waded out for a refreshing dip in the ocean, things went awry.
As they laughed and chatted in the waist-deep water, Spanian and Ava noticed that the fabric of his green boardshorts had turned unexpectedly see-through.
Sheepishly trying to cover himself, the eshay influencer – real name Anthony Lee – beckoned Ava to fetch him her red floral sarong so that he could make a modest exit from the surf.
Ava, who was dressed in a skimpy animal-print bandeau swim top and black bottoms, obliged, even helping him wrap the fabric over his partially exposed nether regions.

Fans have pointed out how drastically Spanian has changed since finding fame. He shares a young son with estranged wife Angela McColl (right), whom he married in 2023
The couple were in good spirits despite the wardrobe malfunction, with Ava and Spanian sharing a laugh as they returned to their towels.
Moments earlier, Spanian had been cosying up with his new love in the water, showcasing his latest tattoo – ‘Ava Jean’ on his wrist – as he pulled her close.
The Spanian’s Kebabs mogul wore a black baseball cap and completed his look with a crucifix necklace and a diamond bracelet.
Ava, who accessorised with a beige cap and silver necklace, also displayed her ‘Spanian’ arm tattoo – a similar bold declaration of their love for each other.
Spanian went public with his new relationship in late October by posting a Snapchat of the pair with the Sydney Harbour Bridge sparkling in the background.
The romance came just weeks after he split from his wife-of-two-years, Angela McColl – and just a few months after she gave birth to their second son.
‘I’m in the news because I have a beautiful new missus,’ Spanian bragged at the time.
‘I get a girlfriend, I’m in the news. I break up with my ex-wife, I’m in the news. I love that I’m extremely relevant.’

Spanian said in another video that he was ‘clearly separated’ from Angela and that it was a simple case of two people changing and ‘fall[ing] out of love’.
‘She thought it would be better if we separated and I lived here, and I did,’ he said.
When approached by the Daily Mail in November about how his new life was going, Spanian responded by saying it was ‘magical, majestic, madness’.
Spanian was once Sydney’s poster boy for the working-class urban youth subculture called eshays, known for tracksuits, bum bags, tough talk and street cred.
But while he was once praised for his gritty authenticity, some fans now say Spanian has become ‘unrecognisable’ – both in looks and attitude.
‘He’s had the nose done, the veneers, and now he’s dating someone who looks [so much] younger,’ one fan commented on TikTok, a sentiment echoed across dozens of posts.
‘This isn’t the Spanian people followed. He’s let the fame and money go to his head.’

Spanian – now a legitimate businessman and entertainer – has previous convictions for armed robbery, causing grievous bodily harm with intent, and reckless wounding.
His last sentence was for operating a criminal group that dealt drugs, and he has served more than 12 years in prison in total.
After his most recent prison release in 2017, he launched the YouTube series ‘Into the Hood’, travelling across Australia and the world visiting dangerous, crime-riddled areas.
An influencer career soon beckoned as he marketed himself on YouTube as a reformed ex-crim, earning a fortune in the process.
