All hell broke loose at the final Married At First Sight dinner party when Natasha Spencer unexpectedly exposed Mikey Pembroke and Stacey Hampton’s alleged affair. 

WATCH: Michael Goonan convinced Stacey slept with Mikey after lie detector results come in

A word of words ensued between the trio, with the law graduate maintaining she did not sleep with the 29-year-old, despite the fact there was mounting evidence that proved otherwise! Now, after suggesting he planned to take a lie detector test, Mikey has proved his innocence once and for all, exposing Stacey as a liar. 

According to Yahoo, the affable groom was cleared of lying by the highly trained polygraph operator, scoring far above the standard number for truthful answers.

“I, Michael Pembroke do hereby declare that while at the Sky Suites apartments I had sexual intercourse with Stacey Hampton,” he wrote in a declaration before undergoing the examination. 

After four hours of rigorous questioning, the polygraph expert said: “It is my opinion that you are in fact being truthful to that issue. There was no strong emotional responses indicative of deception to the declaration.” 

Mikey scored an average of 10 on each answer—  a truthful answer should be three or more meaning he more than tripled the required criteria.

After receiving his results and no doubt breathing a sigh of relief, Mikey’s brother took to Instagram to show his support, admitting his family has been unfairly dragged through the mud since filming wrapped. 

“A little over excited tonight, as a certain someone lied about my father and my brother!!!” Tom captioned the social media post. “Putting my family through an awful and stressful time. I don’t want to tarnish her as she has two boys and seems like a great mum, but I am very glad the truth has come out!! Thank you @hayleyvernon_ & @ivansarakula for being incredibly honest!”

Tom ended his post by writing: “This show has been a nightmare and I do feel sorry for the contestants. My brother is far from perfect but he ain’t a liar. #thetruthwillsetyourfree!!!”
In a last-ditch effort to prove her innocence, Stacey tried to argue the results were skewed, writing on her Instagram story: “Mikey’s lie detector test – done by his dads friend in the police force. Clap clap.”

She also slammed Nine Network, arguing their evidence is “nonsense”. 
“For the ‘experts’ that sit there and say there is compelling evidence makes me question the entire series,” she wrote. “Thank you though, Michael is now out of my life, Blessing in disguise.”

Since last night’s wild episode aired, Natasha has opened up about exposing the scandal that ruined her marriage, admitting it was an extremely difficult time for her. 

“I was pretty pissed off because I found out he slept with Stacey on the night of our one month anniversary on the show, Aleks [Markovic] told me,” the finance analyst told The Daily Telegraph

“He ditched me to have sex with another bride! At first, I was totally beside myself and so angry. But my philosophy is not to hold onto any negative energy.”

While Mikey’s sneaky behaviour frustrated her immensely, Natasha was more perturbed her television husband and single mum Stacey had ulterior motives.

“In a way, I felt that Stacey and Michael made such a mockery of the experiment because in the end you find out they stayed until the end despite knowing they both cheated on each other,” she said, adding she’s still unsure why the law graduate is in denial.
