MAFS drama erupts on live radio as Harrison says Bronte asked him to be in a ‘fake’ relationship on their honeymoon but he refused – as he accuses another groom of sliding into her DMs
Married At First Sight’s Harrison Boon has thrown his TV wife Bronte Schofield under the bus, following rumours the couple pretended to be in a relationship for airtime despite knowing their marriage was doomed.
Speaking to The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Tuesday, Harrison, 32, claimed Bronte, 28, asked him to be in a ‘fake’ relationship while on their honeymoon, but said he rejected her offer because he genuinely wanted to make things work.
‘She pulled me aside and said, “We could just get through this,” and I said, “Bronte, that’s not what I’m here for,”‘ he claimed.
Bronte apparently used Brent Vitiello and Tamara Djordjevic from last year’s season as an example, after they voted to stay at every commitment ceremony despite the obvious issues in their relationship and made it all the way to final vows.
‘I was like, “They hated each other… that was the fakest relationship ever,” and she goes, “Well, we could just do that,” and I’m like, “That’s not what I’m here for,”‘ Harrison said.

In a surprise twist, Harrison also accused Brent of romantically pursuing Bronte by trying to slide into her DMs on Instagram.
‘I know Brent’s been in Bronte’s DMs, by the way… he’s cracking on to her,’ the builder said, adding: ‘That’s why he’s coming so hard for me in the media. It’s like, dude, stop trying to stay relevant.’
KIIS FM producers later called Brent so he could confront Harrison on air, but Harrison refused to let him join the conversation, saying: ‘He had his chance for the limelight. I’m not giving him mine.’

Brent has been a vocal critic of Harrison’s behaviour in recent weeks.
Last month, he accused the part-time stripper of ‘gaslighting Bronte worse than a BIC lighter’ after watching the couple argue on the Nine show.
‘I can’t win with Harrison. Red flag bearer at the red flag Olympics talking red flag s**t. It’s giving me heartburn,’ the hospitality manager wrote on Instagram.

It comes after Harrison and Bronte shocked viewers and their co-stars by deciding to stay in the experiment during Sunday night’s commitment ceremony.
The decision came after a week of constant arguing between the pair, which culminated in Harrison sensationally ‘dumping’ Bronte via text message.
