Glamorous Cricket Commentator Grace Hayden Slammed for Sunburn Amid European Getaway
By Megan Watts
Grace Hayden, 22-year-old sports commentator and daughter of cricket legend Matthew Hayden, faced criticism after sharing sunburnt photos from her Italian vacation with boyfriend Wilson Statham. The couple’s romantic escape to Sicily turned heads for all the wrong reasons as fans slammed Grace for neglecting sun safety.
In the snaps, Grace flaunted a white bikini, revealing a stark sunburn across her chest and arms. Wilson, son of Queensland cotton moguls Danielle and David Statham, joined her in the photos, but it was Grace’s lobster-red complexion that stole attention. Followers quickly called her out, with one commenting, “Geez Grace, slip, slop, slap!” referencing Australia’s iconic sunscreen campaign. Others flooded the post with lobster emojis and blunt reminders like “Sunscreen!” and “Too much sun.”

The backlash highlights serious health concerns. According to Cancer Council Australia, just five severe sunburns in a lifetime can double melanoma risk. Grace’s fiery skin sparked warnings about long-term damage, as UV exposure remains a leading cause of skin cancer.
Despite the criticism, the couple seemed unfazed, enjoying Taormina’s stunning coastline. Grace shared snaps of beach lounging, yacht cruises, and cocktails with friends. In one image, the pair cuddled on a boat, while another showed them sipping drinks at a seaside bar.

A rising star in cricket broadcasting, Grace has carved her own path beyond her father’s legacy. Her European break follows a busy season covering matches, though fans hope her next getaway includes more SPF.

While the trip showcased glamorous locales, it serves as a cautionary tale: even under the Mediterranean sun, sunscreen is non-negotiable. As one follower quipped, “Beautiful pics… but maybe invest in a hat next time?”
Grace has yet to respond to the comments but continues sharing her adventures, proving that even sunburn can’t dim her holiday spirit.
