Married At First Sight fans have been left speechless over unaired footage of Danny Hewitt slamming experts for pairing him with Bec Zacharia.
The reality show wrapped up on Monday night with a final commitment ceremony, along with an episode of Stan’s After The Dinner Party, which featured unaired interviews of the 34-year-old real estate agent.
Before the footage played, host Laura Byrne told Bec it was going to be an “incredibly hard” watch.
“You’re telling me that’s the best you’ve got? You ought to be ashamed of yourself MAFS,” Danny said to the camera.

“I gave up my life to be here and I could roll in Coles right now and walk up to aisle four and there’s a bird in there and she’d be better than Bec.
“It can’t be worse. It’s impossible.”
Danny then said the Channel 9 staff were “s**t” at their jobs and demanded they “bring him better women”.
He then took aim at Bec once again, saying she could get away with some of her antics if she was a “15 out of 10, but she’s not”.

Viewers called out Danny for his actions
Viewers were appalled by the footage, with some calling it “gross” or “disgusting”.
“Getting to see the real Danny was confronting and validated pretty much everything I thought about what was happening with Bec. What he did to her was so low,” one said.
“The way he spoke about her behind her back was absolutely foul. I’m glad she had Rachel on the couch to comfort her because that was a tough watch.”
“Well now I kind of hope that Danny’s lovely cat leaves him for a better human,” added another.
“Danny actually speaks disgustingly, imagine how he speaks to his partner (if he ever gets one),” another said.
Bec had a visceral reaction on the couch, with fellow bride Rachel Gilmore comforting her.
“I don’t want to cry,” she said.
Laura said that when she and fellow hosts Brittany Hockley and Jules Lund saw the clip for the first time, they were “actually horrified”.
“All of it was revolting,” Laura said.
It left Bec wondering whether Danny had other motivations for coming on the Channel 9 rather than for love.
“He’s come on for fame,” she said. “If that’s how you feel about me, why did you sit there for three months straight?”
She said as soon as those cameras left that interview, Danny told her he was falling in love with her.
“He said, ‘I’m falling in love with you, I’ve been telling the cameras this for a week now,'” she said.
