Married At First Sight’s Michael Goonan puts ‘materialistic’ Stacey Hampton to the test this week, by taking her on a date that includes meat pies at a service station.
And on Monday, Michael, 28, told TV WEEK magazine that while Stacey, 26, may have been drawn to his wealth, he was attracted primarily to her looks.
‘Yeah, I fell in love with her personality, but the opportunity probably wouldn’t have been there if I wasn’t attracted to her, so it goes two ways,’ he said.

‘Stacey wants to be a kept woman and stay at home. She never hid that from me, and she never hid the fact that she likes nice things. She’s materialistic,’ the company director added.
Michael went on to say that while his wealth was probably the most appealing to Stacey, it’s okay as he was initially drawn to just her looks.

It comes after Stacey was accused of cheating on Michael during Sunday night’s episode.
And on Monday, Michael hinted that this allegation was actually true.
Speaking on Nova 100’s Chrissie, Sam and Browny, Michael was asked where it all went wrong with Stacey.
A changed man! Meanwhile, Michael told Nova 100’s Chrissie, Sam and Browny on Monday that he ‘changed’ after his cheating scandal
‘There was a very crucial little hint that was said last night and that’s the little clue!’ said Michael.
He was referring to an accusation by Vanessa Romito, who said Stacey had ‘hooked up’ with someone other than Michael.
Michael said it would be satisfying to see Stacey held to account for being unfaithful, after he was pilloried by the cast for cheating with Hayley Vernon earlier in the season.
Scandal! Michael also hinted that Stacey was unfaithful in the experiment
‘Imagine if that [Stacey cheating] was true,’ he said.
‘Imagine a guy that’s literally getting torn apart every single week for a kissing allegation, changing his whole life, running around and jumping over hoops for this girl… I’ve changed everything, I’ve literally become a saint you know.’
Michael allegedly cheated on Stacey by kissing Hayley during a production break in late September – but he insists he ‘can’t remember’ what happened.
Vanessa said on Sunday’s episode that she had video proof Michael kissed Hayley.

However, it was revealed at the girls’ night that she’d actually lied about having evidence in order to trick Michael into confessing.
Michael slammed Vanessa for lying about the video, saying it was a ‘bad thing to do’.
‘The minute they found out “Michael is a bit foggy about that night” or he can’t remember everything, all of a sudden all the stories come out,’ he told Nova 100.
‘Why do liars lie? Because that’s what they do! So, [Vanessa] is obviously a liar.’
Married At First Sight continues Monday at 7:30pm on Channel Nine
