Married At First Sight’s Hayley Vernon has claimed that Stacey Hampton had an affair with co-star Mikey Pembroke during a production break in Sydney last year.
Following Wednesday’s dinner party, where Stacey raged at Hayley for kissing her ‘husband’ Michael Goonan, the brunette has now revealed the bombshell.
‘It turns out during the break, Stacey actually sleeps with Mikey Pembroke and Mikey calls me during the break and goes, ‘I feel so bad for you that you’ve been vilified and I’m actually flying back to Italy,’ Hayley told Mamamia on Wednesday.

Hayley continued: ‘Production actually paid for him to fly back from Italy to attend the reunion [in January] so he could confront Stacey.’
The star claims that Stacey and Michael slept together after the show during a break from filming in November, and before the reunion was filmed on January 15.
Stacey has strongly denied sleeping with Mikey to Daily Mail Australia, insisting nothing happened between the pair and the rumours first started during filming.
In a leaked video blog on Now To Love, she said: ‘I sit here today and swear on anything and everything that nothing happened between Mikey and I.’

Meanwhile, Mikey hinted at the rumours with Stacey in an interview this week.
The 29-year-old told Fitzy and Wippa: ‘I did say at the start of the show that I’d be interested in other girls as long as their relationship wasn’t good.’
When asked if he would make a move on Stacey Hampton in a ‘cheating’ scandal, he downplayed a potential affair but didn’t rule it out completely.
‘You know what? Probably not. She’s not my kind of girl. Like, I did say I didn’t like high-maintenance girls that are a lot of work. But she’s still attractive,’ he said.
He then cheekily added: ‘[But] give me a few beers and I’ll go out and there’s not much I wouldn’t hit!’

Missing: Mikey and ‘wife’ Natasha were missing from Wednesday’s dinner party
During Wednesday’s dinner party, Stacey screamed at Hayley over her kiss with Michael, after the pair hooked-up during an 11 day break from production last year.
‘You’ve just ruined a relationship. Yes, he’s a d**k head at parties… but you’ve taken advantage of that,’ accused Stacey, while failing to blame Michael.
‘You were encouraging vulnerable Michael. We all know he gets drunk.’
Before the fight, Stacey warned: ‘She is an absolute scum bag. She does not know what’s coming for her. I’m about to turn a f**king steam train on to her.’
Hayley broke down in tears, sobbing: ‘I’m kind of perplexed. Stacey’s reaction was to just pin it all on me, than to accept what her husband did.
‘I got emotional because I think it’s the straw that broke the camel’s back.’
