Bizarre footage has emerged of the private jet flight Michael Goonan and KC Osborne took earlier this week from Melbourne to Sydney.
After the Married At First Sight stars were slammed by fans for chartering the plane and flaunting their wealth amid the coronavirus pandemic, it seems any potential backlash was far from Michael’s mind.
The 28-year-old company director posted a video of the flight to his Instagram story on Thursday, in which he was seen boozing and rambling on board the expensive jet.

Pretending to put on a posh accent, the company director said he ‘prefers to drink beer over fancy champagne’ as he chugged a can of West End Draught.
‘Oh yes, so we’re just sitting here and I’m just about to indulge in a lovely bottle of Dom,’ he said, referring to Dom Perignon.
‘Pfftt,’ he went on, before taking a sip from his can.

Michael and girlfriend KC, 31, made headlines this week when they caught the private jet from Melbourne to Sydney for a business trip on Wednesday.
The pair – who met on MAFS – also carried three Louis Vuitton bags on board.
The reality couple boasted about their flight by sharing pictures on Instagram, prompting fans to slam them for flaunting their wealth while many Australians have lost their jobs amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Although the flight was completely legal, Michael and KC were also criticised for travelling when many people are in complete lockdown at home.

Dance instructor KC received considerable backlash on Thursday when she uploaded a collection of photos from inside and outside the private jet, captioned: ‘A work trip turned to a fun trip!’
Outraged, one fan commented: ‘Just remember, things are hard for all Australians now. Don’t sell yourself short and act like this in photos. You didn’t have to show all the photos of inside the plane. That is just showing off.’
KC hit back, explaining that while she appears to live a glamorous life, she also spends days ‘in her sweats with a messy bun, looking s**t going to the supermarket’.

‘I have no disregard to what is going on in the world and I do what I can to give back and to encourage kids. I’m not perfect but this is MY LIFE and I will live how I want,’ she hit back in a comment.
But KC’s explanation was not enough, as the negative comments kept on pouring in.
‘At a time where we are in a very troubled situation for many, you flaunt the private jet and superficial relationship you are in,’ one person wrote.
Someone else added: ‘Really? A private jet? Other Australians are struggling to get home once they are here, they are in quarantine for two weeks.’
The couple were legally allowed to fly from Melbourne to Sydney because the trip was for business, which is considered ‘essential travel’ by the Australian Government.
Unlike other states and territories, NSW and Victoria have not closed their borders, and therefore allow for business travel between the two economic hubs.
Michael is the company director of his family’s commercial ice business and insisted that the flight was for commerce.
