BOYS’ NIGHT CHAOS BOOZE, BUST-UPS & BETRAYAL
It descended into turmoil when the warring grooms came face to face
While the girls’ night was rocked by bitter words and an endless supply of potent cocktails, on the other side of town the boys’ night was also heading for disaster.
Talking exclusively to Woman’s Day, a source says the grooms completely unravelled after former contestants resurfaced one by one, bringing simmering tensions to the boil – particularly between Ivan Sarakula and Michael Goonan.
Ever since Michael, 28, accused Aleks Markovic, 26, of cheating on Ivan, 30 – which Aleks denied – the once-friendly grooms have been fighting over the truth of the allegations, with Ivan claiming his bride was faithful and they’re still together.
“Michael didn’t hold back and they went head to head in a full-blown yelling match over Aleks,” the source says.
In one instance, tensions became so volatile that the men were forced to “take things outside” and producers had to closely monitor the pair.
“Both men were being really aggressive and it definitely could’ve gotten out of hand, but producers finally stepped in to diffuse the situation.”
Most shocking of all though, rumours were flying that Michael was being coerced by producers into stirring up trouble.
“They were constantly in his ear all night. When things slowed down, they went straight over to him and whispered to him and sure enough, things kicked off again,” the source reveals. “They made sure it wasn’t a friendly night.”
