MAFS 2023: Couple swap scandal as groom travels to Perth for affair trends now
The new season of Married At First Sight has been full of drama - but the biggest scandal actually took place after filming wrapped.
Sources tell Daily Mail Australia that shy groom Josh White recently had a secret tryst with Lyndall Grace after they hooked up at a post-finale party in December.
Josh, a Sydney-based advertising director who is 'married' to sex-obsessed hairdresser Melissa Sheppard on the Nine series, then travelled to Perth for a romantic weekend with accountant Lyndall from January 26 to 29.
Their fling will come as a shock to viewers because Lyndall, who has cystic fibrosis, is paired in the experiment with Northern Territory carpenter Cam Woods, and their wholesome romance has captured hearts across Australia.
However, it's understood no infidelity took place because Lyndall and Cam split before the finale; likewise, Josh and Melissa called it quits halfway through filming.
