Married At First Sight: Hayley Vernon’s huge change before the finale

Married At First Sight’s Hayley Vernon had fans sat in confusion on Sunday night. 

After returning to the show for the finale, many viewers noticed something had changed with the 32-year-old’s appearance – but struggled to work out what. 

Only a handful of eagle-eyed people at home noticed what was so different about the former finance broker, and once they did, they couldn’t believe it. 

During the three months between leaving the show in October and filming the last episode in January, Hayley finally finished her huge ‘leg sleeve’ tattoo. 

The enormous inking runs from the top of her thigh down to her ankle.

She had the artwork done during a trip to Bali in December.  

After some viewers worked out what was different about Hayley, they discussed the tattoo on Twitter. Whereas some called it ‘iconic’, others thought it was too much. 

‘New leg tattoos?’ questioned one Twitter user on Sunday night. 

‘Hayley’s Lana Del Ray tattoo on her leg is iconic,’ wrote another, with the design appearing to be of the American songstress. 

More viewers mused if the ink was new, with one person calling it ‘ugly’.  

It was previously estimated that Hayley’s stunning transformation is worth $50,000 – but she’s received some enhancements free of charge due to her rising profile.

In recent years she has undergone a breast augmentation, had regular lip filler injections and received porcelain veneers worth up to $30,000 for free.  

Alongside this, Hayley’s extensive tattoo collection is worth thousands.

The years Hayley has spent enhancing her body as a bodybuilder would not have been cheap either, with gym supplements and protein power setting her back.

In 2016, Hayley first started sculpting her body with weight training. 

She initially shredded all her body fat and became as lean as possible to compete in bodybuilding tournaments in 2017, before later bulking up. 

Since then, she has boosted her booty and worked on her curves in the gym.
