A Married At First Sight cast member set to appear on next year’s season has been left red-faced after they attempted to cash in on their soon-to-be fame.
Before even making their TV debut, the groom tried to leverage their imminent fame to bag a complimentary meal at Eastern Suburbs hotspot, Coogee Pavilion, but was rejected.
An insider told Daily Mail Australia that their attempt was ‘cringeworthy to watch’.
‘It was really embarrassing,’ laughed the source. ‘The audacity of asking for a table, boasting about their upcoming MAFS stint, thinking it would get them a free pass.’
It’s unclear if the groom attempted to make a booking for himself, or his cast mates.

The yet-to-be-identified cast member threatened to take their offer elsewhere, but the restaurant didn’t change their mind.
‘Coogee Pav does not do free meals for influencers and they definitely won’t for a MAFS star,’ said the source.
It comes after Daily Mail Australia revealed that despite bosses claiming the series will be less ‘screechy and shouty’, season 11 has been the most chaotic series to film.
The upcoming season will be rocked by a cheating scandal, will see multiple cast members walking out and another ‘revenge porn’ incident.
The MAFS 2024 cast are said to be the ‘worst behaved cast to date’ – or so they’ve been told – and were scolded by producers on a number of occasions.

Runaway brides and grooms
A number of cast members abruptly quit the show, leaving the producers scrambling to pick up the pieces to the puzzle.

Casting producers were able to find a last-minute replacement and brought the couple in as intruders.
Another insider whispered about a mystery bride who ditched her vows, not even giving the romance a chance.
‘She was having none of it, and I think she was regretting ever signing up for the show,’ said the source.

New look

According to whispers around the set, relocating was the producer’s desperate attempt to keep the stars of the show from going AWOL.
