As Stacey Hampton continues to deny hooking up with Mikey Pembroke, his Married At First Sight co-stars are rallying around him, doing everything they can to prove otherwise.
WATCH: Hayley drops a fat bombshell about Stacey and Mikey’s affair
Of course, that means Hayley Vernon has weighed in on the scandal, confirming the mum-of-two really did sleep with the groom, however says Stacey is in too deep to come forward and set the record straight.
“Yeah, it’s Mikey,” Hayley said when KIIS FM’s Jackie ‘O’ Henderson asked who Stacey was hooking up with.
“Stacey and someone else are pretty much trying to bring Mikey down at the moment and say that, you know, he’s a terrible person, that he’s got a bad character, that he’s making all this stuff up to stay in the spotlight and to totally defame Stacey,” she continued.
“It’s utter bullsh*t. Stacey just can’t stand on her own two feet and cop it on the chin and I’m pretty sure that Mikey’s going to do a lie detector test to prove that he did get a leg over Stacey,” the bodybuilder continued, hinting the truth will be exposed at the upcoming reunion episode.
“The lies that come out of [Stacey’s] mouth are ridiculous and you’ll see by the end of the show,” the operations manager said during the explosive on-air interview on The Kyle And Jackie O Show. “I‘m more than happy after this show to do a lie detector test on a number of issues.”
“I can confirm we did have sex, but it was clearly after Natasha and I had agreed with producers that our relationship was over, and Natasha knew we weren’t together,” he also told News.com.au last week. “I actually didn’t want this (story) out as it’s not the best way to end my time on the show, but it did happen.”
Meanwhile, Stacey insists she’s not attracted to the 29-year-old and would never do what her husband did to her.
“Mikey looks like my son, there’s no way,” Stacey said in February. “He is not my type. What happened was I was in Adelaide when he hooked up with Hayley and no one told me what was going on and I was all alone.
She echoed a similar sentiment in a recent interview with New Idea, saying: “Nothing happened between Mikey Pembroke and I. No sexual relations. Nothing. I can guarantee that. And I can sit here and swear on anything. I understand where the rumours came from. We did share coffee and we did hang out. I swear that Mikey and I have never shared any sexual intimacy.”
But what does husband Michael Goonan think about this whole situation? He says he’s not sure who to believe anymore.
“I don’t know, I’m not going to speculate anything but imagine if that was true… Imagine a guy that’s literally getting been torn apart every single week for a kissing allegation, changing this whole life, running around and jumping over hoops for this girl, just image,” he said while chatting to Nova 100’s Chrissie, Sam & Browny. “I’ve changed everything, I’ve literally become a saint you know.”
