Reality television viewers may know him from Married at First Sight, but Ridge Barredo is now making headlines for an entirely different reason — stepping onto the international sporting stage as a competitive weightlifter at the Commonwealth Games in Scotland.
Barredo, who became familiar to Australian audiences through his appearance on the popular reality series, has travelled to Scotland to compete at the Games, demonstrating there is considerably more to him than his television profile might suggest.
The dual identity — reality star and serious competitive athlete — has drawn fresh attention to Barredo, whose weightlifting credentials have earned him a place among Commonwealth-level competitors on the world stage.
