Married At First Sight has been rocked by scandal once again after a groom's racy online past has come to light.
Scott McCristal, who is paired with Gia Fleur on Nine's ratings juggernaut, operated an X-rated OnlyFans account several years ago, after appearing on reality shows Blind Date and Holey Moley.
But that's all in the past now, friends say.
A source close to Scott insisted he is no longer on the platform and wants to put his racy past well and truly behind him.
'There is no active account,' they told the Daily Mail Thursday.
'It hasn't been part of his life for a very long time. He wants nothing to do with it now.'
Married At First Sight has been rocked by scandal after a Scott McCristal's racy online past has resurfaced
Scott McCristal, who is currently paired with Gia Fleur on the Channel Nine ratings juggernaut, operated an X-rated OnlyFans account several years ago off the back of his appearances on reality shows Blind Date and Holey Moley
'He doesn't judge anyone for being on OnlyFans. But it's not something he's involved in anymore,' the insider added.
Prior to joining the MAFS, Scott was in a relationship with adult content creator Abby Dowse, whom he dated between 2021 and 2024.
Scott is now focused on building his businesses across finance, health and personal development.
'He's worked hard to build a disciplined business-driven image,' the source said.
'That's what represents him now. Not something from years ago.'
It comes after Scott was forced to shut down claims that he only signed up to MAFS for clout.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail after his wedding to Gia, the entrepreneur said he couldn't care less about critics questioning his motives.
'People can think whatever they want,' Scott said.
Friends close to the groom insist he is no longer on the platform - and he wants to put his racy past well and truly behind him.
'There is no active account,' an insider told Daily Mail on Thursday. 'It hasn't been part of his life for a very long time. He wants nothing to do with it now'
'He doesn't judge anyone for being onOnlyFans. But it's not something he's involved in anymore,' the source continued.
Scott, a reality TV veteran, said comparing his stints on Blind Date and Holey Moley to MAFS was missing the point entirely.
'Those shows were years ago - like 2018. They were fun games,' he said.
'This is completely different. This is your whole life. You're investing your relationship and your time into someone.'
He added that the decision to join the experiment was not taken lightly.
'I put my business on the line for a long time. That's a lot for me to do,' he said.
'So obviously I'm serious about it. If people don't believe that, I don't really give a shit.'
Scott revealed he was approached to do the show and initially turned it down several times before eventually agreeing.
'I actually said no a few times,' he said.
'But then I thought, if I don't do this, I'm never going to find someone. It forced me to compromise and make time for someone.'
The Daily Mail contacted Scott for comment on his inactive OnlyFans account.
