Married At First Sight EXCLUSIVE: Inside the secret reunion that was so wild they COULDN’T air it on television – as cast members stripped off and ran riot across Sydney
The Married At First Sight cast hosted their own wild reunion in mid-January, a day before filming the official one, Daily Mail Australia can reveal.
Producers were left furious when the stars defied orders not to speak to each other and went on a boozy pub crawl in Sydney.
By the time it came to shooting the episode, several of the brides and grooms were nursing hangovers – but none of their antics had been caught on camera.

The cast flew into Sydney on January 14 and went out partying that night. The reunion dinner party was filmed in a studio warehouse in Lilyfield the following day.
The celebrations began in Hayley’s room at the Adina Surry Hills hotel in the early evening.
After drinking wine and smoking on her balcony alone, Chris Nicholls arrived and Natasha Spencer joined them several minutes later.
At one stage, Hayley was sitting on the railing of her third-floor balcony when a jovial Chris helped lift up her skirt as she flashed her bottom.

‘Producers went to great effort and expense to split the cast into separate hotels to avoid this happening, but none of them cared,’ said a source.
‘It was a s**t show behind the scenes. Once again, the best drama was off camera.’
The following morning, executive producer Tara McWilliams was on the warpath, demanding to know who had spent time together before the scheduled reunion.

On January 18, after filming the two-part finale, several cast members stayed in Sydney for another night out – which was much wilder than the televised reunion.
The party started in Mikey Pembroke’s apartment, where he was joined by Chris.
The duo then went to a nightclub, where they spent hours dancing and drinking with Mishel Karen, Aleks Markovic and Ivan Sarakula.
