Footy great Corey Parker's wife reveals his disgusting act on their wedding night: 'What an animal!'

The wife of footy great Corey Parker has revealed his disgusting act on their wedding night - and he was fully clothed when it happened.

Brisbane radio identity Margaux Parker - who has been married to the Broncos legend since 2008 - set the scene on Triple M Breakfast's show with Marto, Margaux & Dan on Thursday as the panel discussed a very dirty topic.

'I've got a story from our wedding night,' she began. 'As we were walking down the hotel hallway to our room, Corey saw someone's leftover room service. 

'It was a half-eaten BLT sandwich. I said, "Don't you dare," but he picked it up and started munching on it right there in the hallway.

She continued: 'He ate somebody else's room service that had already been half consumed. What an animal!'

The revelation came after Parker's co-hosts were talking about whether it's ever OK to eat out of a bin.

The happy couple renewed their wedding vows in a surprise ceremony during their 15 year anniversary last November, celebrating the occasion surrounded by their four children: Memphis, Wylei, Jagger, and River.

In February this year, the Queensland veteran of 19 State of Origin games declared he is 'no doubt' suffering from the effects of the fatal brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). 

CTE is a degenerative brain disorder which has strong links to repeated head knocks, and can only be diagnosed after death.

It can lead to dementia, personality changes and suicidal thinking, and there is no cure or treatment.

'This CTE, it's the word that obviously gets thrown around and rightly so — it is real,' Parker, 42, said on SEN.

'I've got no doubt; I have no doubt whatsoever over my tenure as a rugby league player that I have symptoms, I have symptoms of CTE.

'But it's something that you can't really get a grasp on until obviously post-mortem.

'You can’t expect to play a high-collision sport, [and] for [close to] 20 of those years at a high level, and not have some sort of side effects.

'You can try and manage different things, but the damage is done, isn't it?'

Parker's grim revelation comes after NRL icon Wally Lewis opened up on how his life has been affected by the symptoms of a likely case of CTE.
