The next season of Married At First Sight Australia hasn’t even finished filming yet, but already its proving to be one of the most controversial series of the reality show yet.

An on-set source has told the hosts of Hit106.9 that filming had to be stopped for two weeks because of the escalating drama, and that one cast member was even forced into rehab by producers over concerns for their mental wellbeing.
“Apparently, they’ve just started filming again after a two-week break because the producers were just like, ‘’this is going too far, we need to resettle ourselves, take a two-week filming break and then work out how we can tackle the rest of the season,’” host Nick said.
While producers of the Nine show have yet to confirm the rumours, speculation is mounting as to what exactly could have caused the break in filming.
“There is heaps more partner swapping in this season,” Nick continued.
“Apparently, they’ve needed to check someone in [to a rehab facility] because they’ve gone so loose on the show that they were worried about their mental wellbeing,”
According to the Hit106.9 host, the unnamed cast member’s break down may have been brought on after the couples spent their first night together after the ceremony.
“It’s a girl that is trying to consummate the relationship with her new husband – and he’s not into it, on the first night he’s just like ‘’oh we haven’t been together for that long’’”, he said.
“But she’s pretty bloody keen – like yelling ‘f**k me, f**k me,’ over and over and over again,’” the host said.
In a statement to Daily Mail Australia, Nine producers remained tight-lipped.
“As always with Married at First Sight, the rumour mill is in overdrive. All we can say is: tune in to Nine early next year,” they said.
