Married At First Sight’s Michael Goonan reveals why he was drug tested during filming – and says a producer told him he’d ‘RUINED the whole show’ because of his partying
Michael Goonan was known for his heavy drinking and wild partying on Married At First Sight.
And the 29-year-old company director has revealed that a particular incident was so out of control that producers forced him to take a drug test.
Recalling the night he drunkenly kissed Hayley Vernon in early October, Michael told KOTN Media on Sunday: ‘We were all partying and having a good time, but woke up the next day without any memory… I was legless.’

The morning after his bender, the show’s executive producer pulled Michael aside and told him: ‘You’ve actually ruined the whole show.’
‘A guy like me, you need bars on the windows,’ he added with a laugh.
Michael was subsequently tested three times for illegal drugs, but every test came back negative.

In February, Michael slammed reports that he’d used drugs during filming last year.
Speaking to New Idea, the Melbourne-based businessman denied rumours he had been ‘cautioned’ for his supposed drug use and said he’d never taken cocaine on set.
‘I was never warned or cautioned for the use of drugs on the show. I never took drugs on the show,’ he said.

Michael added that producers had a ‘zero-tolerance policy’ on drugs, and he would have been kicked off the show if he’d been found with illegal substances.
Despite this, some of Michael’s co-stars allegedly spread rumours about him taking cocaine during filming.
These unfounded suspicions resulted in the multiple drug tests.
Michael, who was paired with Stacey Hampton on Married At First Sight, has since moved on with another bride, KC Osborne.
