Despite staying away from most of the drama on this season’s Married At First Sight, Michael and Martha have found themselves embroiled in Jessika and Dan’s messy affair.
On Thursday, Michael was asked about his and Martha’s decision to keep Jessika’s affair with Daniel Webb a secret.
Jessika, 27, had confided in Martha, 30, that she was hooking up with Dan behind her husband Mick Gould’s back – with Martha later telling Michael the news.
Crucially, Martha did not tell Dan’s wife Tamara Joy about the betrayal, and Michael also did not tell Mick he was being cheated on.
However, Michael told Nova 100’s Chrissie Sam & Browny they had no regrets.
He said: ‘For me, I’m normally outside of the drama, I’ve got my popcorn there and I’m kind of watching it all unfold.
‘To [find myself] thrust into the middle of it was definitely a different feeling. Martha and I made the decision where, I guess, Dan and Jess are both adults and they can make their own decisions, we left it up to them and didn’t say anything.’
When radio host Chrissie Swan pointed out that Martha was facing a backlash on social media for enabling Jessika’s behaviour, Michael said she was doing ‘fine’.
‘She’s strong we are dealing with it together as well,’ he added. ‘I’m copping my flack with people as well, it is what it is. We’ve got to stand by our decisions.’
