If you try to tell us that you\u2019re not a) hooked on Married At First Australia <\/a><\/em>or b) slightly intrigued by the social experiment which has all of the nation talking, then you\u2019re lying to yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sad, but true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as much as we love watching the drama that unfolds in other people\u2019s lives, we also find joy in hearing star\u2019s \u2018trusted friends\u2019 spill the tea on them after the show has wrapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s lil\u2019 bit of juicy gossip? The real<\/em> reason MAFS\u2019 Josh was granted permission to leave the experiment, despite Melissa revealing that she wanted to stay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cheeky source told the So Dramatic!<\/em> <\/a>podcast that Josh was going through a \u201cmessy divorce\u201d while filming MAFS and because of it, his contract allowed him to \u201cgo home at any time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThat\u2019s also why he was granted permission to leave [from relationship expert John Aiken], despite it being against the rules,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So, John\u2019s major decision to overrule Melissa’s choice to \u2018stay\u2019 in the experiment might not have been as heroic as we all thought?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
