So it comes as no surprise that during a recent Instagram Q&A with his fans, he jumped at the opportunity to answer "how many lines he can rack in 30 seconds". 

"Look this is just ridiculous, this is just a stupid question. But have a look at the new Dyson V10 statistics, times it by two and you'll be getting close," the controversial 28-year-old said while sticking out his tongue and laughing cheekily.

As we know, the controversial groom— who is now dating co-star KC Osborne— was embroiled in a drug scandal while filming Married At First Sight, with an on-set spy claiming he was spotted holding "white powder" in his pocket.

This was an allegation he later denied. 

"This is nonsense. I never took drugs on the show. This is a huge production show and implements a zero-tolerance policy," he told New Idea, in March. 

"There is no way I would have been allowed to stay on the show if that was the case. Was I guilty of having a few boozy nights and blowing off some steam? For sure. But I never touched a substance on the show." 

Just weeks earlier, an insider told the outlet that Nine Network forced the Adelaide dad to undergo therapy after he was caught with what is believed to be an illicit substance.

Michael copped it from his ex-wife when he said he was "too drunk to remember" kissing Hayley.

“A bag of [white substance] fell out of Michael’s pocket on set,” the well-placed spy told the outlet. "He was at the pool when it dropped out of his dressing gown and they had to send him away to a third-party counsellor to get help.”

According to the publication's source, many of Michael's co-stars were attuned to the way he acted behind closed doors. To make matters more confusing, his then-wife Stacey— who is a mother to two young children— was informed of the incident and chose to look the other way. 

“Stacey knew all of this and she was the one saying Hayley was such a bad person… Why would you hang around with someone and keep this relationship and marriage going if you knew they had this lifestyle? She knows what a party boy he is," New Idea's source added.

While Michael wasn't willing to speak out at the time this scandal was first reported, the source said he told his MAFS cohort this behaviour wasn't out of the ordinary. 

“He said, 'This is how [I] acted beforehand.' What he is doing now… you are seeing the “real Michael”. I don’t believe he is any worse than what he was before the show.”
