Married At First Sight Australia groom Danny Hewitt has come under fire after previously unaired footage emerged of him making brutal comments about his ex-wife Bec Zacharia. The 34-year-old British groom, who blindsided Bec at Final Vows by ending their marriage, was captured on camera ripping into her looks and personality during a rant that was never intended for broadcast.
The footage, which surfaced on the spin-off show MAFS: After The Dinner Party, shows Danny venting to a producer about his then-wife. He is heard saying, 'You're telling me that's the best you could bring me? You ought to be ashamed of yourself, MAFS dude,' and adding, 'I can walk in Coles and get a better bird than that.' The comments were made while crew adjusted equipment, suggesting the conversation was not meant to be recorded.
Bec, 35, was given a warning before watching the clip on the show and was visibly distressed. She revealed that on the same day Danny made the remarks, he had told her he was 'falling in love with her.' Speaking through tears, she said, 'This is what I say he's come on here for fame guys. If that's how you feel about me, why did you sit there for three months straight?'
Danny has since apologised, telling his ex-wife he was 'sorry from the bottom of his heart' and felt 'ashamed' of his behaviour. Meanwhile, Bec has reportedly moved on and is rumoured to be dating British reality star and male escort Marcus Rich.
