Married At First Sight EXCLUSIVE: Leaked video shows cast members rehearsing scripted lines during a wild night out before the season finale
A leaked video has cast doubt on how real Married At First Sight really is.
Footage filmed on December 13 in Sydney, a month before the cast united for the reunion episodes, reveals Mikey Pembroke already rehearsing his own script.
The 26-year-old is heard telling Ivan Sarakula, 30, the glowing remarks he planned on saying in front of the cameras about his friend, as they partied with two blondes.

Mikey is heard saying: ‘Ivan, can I be honest with you? You’re the most un-sleazy c**t. You’re the only one that’s loyal to his missus and I’ll be saying that at the reunion.’
He then muttered something inaudible, affectionally called his friend a ‘c**t’ again, before boldly declaring ‘I don’t give a f**k’ in regards to the reality show.
Ivan smiled at the touching words, after growing close to Mikey during filming.
The video was initially shared to Mikey’s Instagram Story in December before he was officially announced as a participant on the show, but removed after several hours.

Mikey was referencing Ivan’s loyalty to his now ex-‘wife’, Aleks Markovic.
Their night out came after Ivan and Aleks had quit the show together with a question mark over their relationship, and weeks before they officially became a couple.
They were joined by Mikey’s post-show girlfriend, Kelly Burke, and another friend.

Despite planning over a month in advance, Mikey’s script did not make the show.
Instead, Ivan and Aleks were accused of faking their reconciled relationship by many of their co-stars – after revealing they had got back together privately.
Ivan and Aleks split in early February, weeks after filming the reunion.
