When it comes to scandals, MAFS Australia is a veteran. From cheating scandals to Martha and Cyrell’s iconic red wine fight, the majority of Dinner Parties involve serious ~*drama*~.
So, it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that the upcoming MAFS season has a particularly gnarly scandal between a bride and her TV groom.
Bride Tayla Winter is reportedly paired with groom Hugo Armstrong. A production source has told Daily Mail Australia that the couple started bumping heads when they were made to switch partners as one of the ‘relationship tests’.
Hugo allegedly bum-dialed Tayla and she heard him call her a “nightmare”, amongst other things.
“Tayla heard him calling her a c**t … she felt humiliated,” a production source told Daily Mail Australia.
While there isn’t an exact premiere date for season ten of MAFS yet, the show generally begins in January each year. Last year the first episode aired on January 31st, so MAFS fans can expect to get their dose of their show in a matter of weeks.
The upcoming season looks to be the most explosive yet, with reports leaking that participants are asked to do a partner swap as part of the experiment.

The relationships “will be tested like never before when a partner-swapping task is introduced,” an on-set source told the Daily Mail auSTRALIA.
They added; “They’ve really upped the ante this year. They made different couples swap partners for three days and it was hell for all involved.”
“‘I don’t know if it was because there were too many couples in the end and they just wanted to test who was genuine or not, or they just wanted to shake things up.”
“Some participants refused to do it. They didn’t see the point of it and were like, “No way this would happen on the outside world.”‘
The source said that the partner-swapping activity will happen at Skye Suites, the Sydney apartment building where MAFS is filmed, and the participants will have to do “their best to avoid temptation.”
