It’s no secret Married At First Sight producers are devious and crafty, pushing the most dramatic narrative possible in exchange for millions of eyeballs watching the show three times a week.

However, we never expected the showrunners to beg this year’s participants to wife swap! Yep, according to Jessika Power, after the cast returned from a two-week filming break, the bosses asked intruder Drew Brauer if he would be willing for his well-crafted narrative to include cheating on his TV bride, KC Osborne.
“So the new intruder, Drew, he’s spoken to me a few times and he mentioned that there were situations that he was put in by producers that he didn’t want to be put in,” the former MAFS alum told Get Up With Krysti and Bodge. “They were trying to make him the new Dan. And everyone knows Dan and I swapped partners on the show. They basically wanted a swap out of Drew and he said no.”

The breakfast hosts then chatted to the 31-year-old musician who remained tight-lipped about what went on behind the scenes, saying: “I’ve literally got a gun to my head from Channel Nine right at this minute, I can’t give away any spoilers.”
“I think I’m on there to be one of the good people and I definitely don’t do anything like that. If that did present itself, it would definitely be something that I would turn down.”
While the charity founder says he didn’t buy into MAFS producers’ super unethical requests, his wife cheated on her own accord! On March 4, Stacey Hampton confirmed KC hooked up with her television husband/serial cheater, Michael Goonan.
“KC was my friend. She went behind my back and proceeded to see Michael after he broke my heart. KC and I are now no longer friends,” Stacey told Daily Mail Australia about the cheating scandal that eventually led to the demise of her marriage.
Confirmation the entrepreneur— who runs his family’s successful business in Adelaide— deceived her on more than one occasion comes after KC reached out to Stacey and asked if she could meet up with Michael while he was in Sydney.
“I spoke to Michael a couple [of] days ago he asked how I was we had a chat. He said he was coming to Sydney and if I wanted to go meet him for a drink,” KC told Stacey in texts obtained by the outlet.
“I said if I do I would first [ask you]… Not sure I will but I do see Michael as a friend but that’s it xx.”
A furious Stacey, who shares two young children with her bikie ex-fiance, urged her to steer clear of Michael, begging her to think about the implications that could come with their meeting.
“I thought u would know obviously I have nothing to hide if I straight up asked ou. I didn’t go have a drink and then tell you. I told you beforehand. I have never heard you trash him once. That’s why I said he wouldn’t cause he knows better and knows I would stick up for you anyway,” KC wrote. “I’m not going [to meet Michael]. Not worth it. Don’t want to upset anyone. Have a good night.”
Unfortunately, KC was lying all along. The text messages were exchanged on February 25, exactly 10 days after the paparazzi photographed her arriving at a house party with Michael where they were reportedly spotted getting cozy.
While this is the second cheating scandal Michael has been involved in, the controversial groom all but confirmed he got his happily ever after with KC when he said before she entered the experiment that he was still with “someone” from the show.
“I really only chat to one person on the show who is amazing. I can’t give away all of my secrets but I can 100 per cent confirm that I am seeing someone from the show.”
Obviously, he wasn’t referring to Stacey!
