Married At First Sight: Steve Burley can’t keep his hands off Mishel Karen

Married At First Sight PICTURE EXCLUSIVE: Steve Burley can’t keep his hands off Mishel Karen in Sydney …but still won’t share a bed with her

Married At First Sight’s Steve Burley couldn’t keep his hands off ‘wife’ Mishel Karen during a date to Sydney’s Royal Botanical Gardens while filming last year. 

On October 22, the 51-year-old appeared playful with Mishel, 49, during a day off from production as they spent quality time together away from the cameras.

However, Steve still refuses to share a bed with his ‘wife’ Mishel on the show.

Steve and Mishel looked more loved-up than ever during their low-key date. 

Their outing occurred in late October, and was approximately two weeks before the brides’ homestay week was filmed, which aired on television yesterday.

A flirty Steve pretended to push Mishel into a lake at one stage, placing his arms around her as she stood by the edge of the water. 

He later wrapped an arm around her as they sat on a bench together.

Interestingly, Steve and Mishel have failed to ever appear this close on the show. 

This week, Steve refused to share a bed with Mishel after arriving at her family home in Brisbane for homestay week.

He chose to stay in Mishel’s daughter Eva’s bedroom on his own instead.

‘This week, I do want there to be more intimacy, like touching and hugging and holding each other,’ a hopeful Mishel said beforehand. 

‘That’s a bit concerning,’ responded Steve after seeing her double bed.   

It has led to Mishel now doubting their relationship more than ever.
