Two years on from all the drama, Married at First Sight Australia's Martha Kalifatidis has lifted the lid on all her regrets from the show... and it's not even to do with her and 'husband' Michael Brunelli.

Warning: MAFSA spoilers ahead.

Yep, from the looks of it, Martha and Michael are loved up as ever, but it seems the influencer has been second guessing her behaviour with one of the show's other couples.

Indeed, speaking about her role in the infamous Jessika Power/Dan Webb affair, Martha said, "I do regret supporting Jess."

Susie had a rollercoaster of a ride on MAFS. Her husband was trying it on with Jessika, she was supposedly trying it on with Jessika's husband Mick - you couldn't write this stuff.

Back in 2019, it was revealed that Jessika had been sidelining her on-screen husband Mick Gould in favour of Tamara Joy's partner Dan Webb, with whom she was secretly having a fling with.

At the time, Martha supported Jessika's decision but now that the dust has settled, the 31 year old revealed to Pete and Sam's Reality News that she "[loves] Mick" and thinks she made "a bad decision" in siding with Jess.

She said, "Tamara genuinely got hurt and I feel bad about that."

But, in a shock twist of events, Martha also alleged that Mick KNEW about Jessika's affair despite appearing very much shocked at the on-screen revelation.

Reacting to the discovery, Mick told his 'wife', "I've been forced to stay here by myself for nothing.

"Now this all makes sense, you made me stay here, you dragged me here by myself and made me look like an idiot and go mental, so you could play footsies and flirt with him."

He continued, "You are the most selfish brat ever. You spoilt brat! You selfish b---h. Unbelievable."
