Cathy Evans revealed last week that this season of Married At First Sight will be far more explosive than the last— and now we’re getting our first glimpse of what’s to come! 

WATCH: EXCLUSIVE: Hayley and Michael get too close night of alleged affair

An on-set insider just revealed we’re set to see the gloves come off very soon, with confirmation David Cannon exploded at Michael Goonan after discovering he secretly slept with his TV wife, Hayley Vernon

The morning David found out Michael had hooked up with his wife Hayley the night before, he was absolutely ropeable and he went and confronted him about it,” the source told New Idea

“David is a huge guy, he’s twice the size of Michael and he’s a professional boxer, too – he’s not someone you would want to have an argument with.” 

The hot-headed truck driver— who has been outrageously open about disliking the woman the experts matched him with— is said to have spiralled out of control, with the spy claiming he was screaming at Michael. He even called him a “gutless dog”.

After stern words were exchanged, things took a turn for the worse with the argument becoming so heated, MAFS execs were forced to step in and separate them.

Yep, David was just about ready to throw the first punch.

“The producers had trouble pulling him off Michael so one of the girls started yelling out to call the police, but the producers managed to shut the whole thing down.”

After the grooms cooled off and David finally calmed down, he did a piece to camera saying, “I’m really angry right now. I’m going to stay in my room because if I see Michael again, I will punch his lights out and he will be a pile of dust.” 

Despite clearly being in the wrong and doing the dirty on David, Michael was so shaken up by the confrontation that producers decided to send him to a hotel in Paramatta for a few days. 

They never had any security guards at the dinner parties, but after that incident, they brought them in at every one,” the source added.

MAFS contestant Vanessa Romito was the one to break the news about Hayley and Michael’s secret affair, leaking shocking details about their secret romance. 

“I swear on my life Hayley and Michael hooked up,” Vanessa told New Idea exclusively, revealing the bodybuilder went behind her groom David Cannon’s back to shag Stacey Hampton’s hubby. “It definitely happened.”

To make matters even worse, it wasn’t just a drunken one nightstand!

In fact, Vanessa said the duo “hooked up multiple times” and started developing feelings for one another at a rapid pace.

“They were fooling around on the bed and dry humping. Shoes were flying everywhere,” she shockingly added. 

According to Vanessa— who dated former MAFS bad boy, Bronson Norrish— the alleged affair took place in her hotel room while the entrepreneur’s wife Stacey was spending time in Adelaide with her two children.

“Michael walked into our room. He was really drunk and so was Hayley,” Vanessa began. “Hayley said, ‘my husband (David) doesn’t want to f–k me’. And I said, ‘mine doesn’t either’. [Michael] turned around and said, ‘I would f–k both of you’.”

While we’re unsure at this point in time how much of the drama will play out on our screens, Hayley didn’t deny getting it on with Michael, however, insisted she wasn’t the one to initiate the affair.

Conversely, Vanessa says the controversial businessman rejected all involvement in the scandal while the cameras were rolling, and even threatened to quit the show when his co-stars caught wind of the rumours.
