British Social Media Star ‘Big John’ Fisher Detained in Australia Due to Visa Issues

British social media star, ‘Big John’ Fisher, has recently been detained in Australia over visa complications. Known for his fast food reviews, Fisher arrived in Western Australia this week, intending to embark on a tour. However, he has announced the cancellation of his scheduled appearances in Perth and Sydney due to his impending deportation.

Details of the Visa Issue

Fisher spent four hours being interrogated by border officials. Despite having a legitimate visa, Australian authorities expressed concerns about his planned work activities during his stay.

Social Media Reactions

In a video shared on social media, Fisher expressed his disappointment, stating, “Will explain more when I get home but absolutely gutted.” He apologized to his fans in Perth and Sydney for not being able to meet them.

• Fisher is spending his 52nd birthday in a detention hotel.
• He remains optimistic, stating his love for Australia while signing off with his catchphrase, “bosh.”

Upcoming Events and Public Engagements

This week, Fisher was scheduled to participate in four key events across Australia. His planned activities included:

• Hosting a “Bucking Bull” challenge at a greyhound race in Sydney.
• Performing a DJ set at a horse racing event in Perth.

Response from Fisher’s Family

Fisher’s son, British heavyweight boxer Johnny Fisher, confirmed the situation on social media, stating that his father would be flown back to London. He humorously suggested that authorities might be concerned about Fisher’s fast bowling skills ahead of the Ashes.

Fisher’s Online Presence

With nearly 700,000 followers on Instagram and an additional half-million on TikTok, Fisher has gained popularity for his engaging food reviews. His videos typically feature him sampling meals, concluding with his signature exclamation, “bosh.” He recently garnered media attention after discussing the vandalism of a Chinese takeaway in York, which he later visited to offer support.

The situation is currently developing, and the BBC has reached out to the Australian Border Force for further comments regarding Fisher’s detention.
