Bros not foes! Bachelorette boys Michael Turnbull and Richie Strahan play up on-screen rivalry with joke round of fisticuffs... as they celebrate Alex Cameron's birthday
Not that long ago, they were competing for Sam Frost's heart, so you couldn't blame Michael Turnbull and Richie Strahan if there was still a little rivalry between.
But if it was anything more than a bit of harmless and playful male banter, the former Bachelor Australia stars weren't showing it while they celebrated Alex Cameron's 36th birthday.
Dressed in smart casual attire, Michael, 34, and Richie, 30, played up their rivalry by engaging in a playful round of fistycuffs while out drinking at a bustling Melbourne nightspot on Monday.

The pair grinned at each other as they mockingly held their clenched fists up to each other's faces, before all was forgiven and they embraced.
The quest for dominance wasn't truly fought over physical strength, but instead trying, and failing rather miserably, to keep a straight face.
The birthday boy and other former Bachelor contenders, David Billsborrow and Kieren Nicholson laughed as they looked on, adding to the obviously jovial nature of the confrontation.

There was no shortage of healthy competition during the filming of the hit dating show either, as the gents sized each other up on a particularly memorable group date at the circus.
The final six contestants were treated to some time at the circus, with several knock-out rounds in an attempt to win some one-on-one time with Sam Frost under the big top.
'I will crawl over your dead bodies to get this,' said Alex at the time.
After much peacocking and trying to psyche each other out, David won the one-on-one date with Sam, but it was ultimately all in vein as Sasha Mielczarek was the last man standing.

Their reunion at Alex's birthday comes as the men's former love interest Sam Frost was named as new co-host of a 2DayFM breakfast show with Rove McManus.
Gushing over his girlfriend's new job, Sasha took to Instagram earlier in the day to congratulate her.
'Congratulations to my beautiful girl @fro01! Not only can she paint a canvas yellow #soproud BUT she can also talk under water with a mouth full of marbles!
'Well done babe on the new gig and Rove, she's all yours now,' the construction manager wrote beneath a photograph of the 26-year-old.
