MAFS Australia‘s Stephanie Marshall has revealed the shocking reason Tyson Gordon’s mum didn’t attend their wedding.

Steph has dropped the bombshell after Tyson dramatically quit the experiment in tonight’s show.

The former soldier’s exit came after Stephanie accused him of arguing with her whenever she gave her opinion.

MAFS Australia expert Mel Schilling, who tragically died last month, rushed over to the sofa and gave her a hug.

Steph has since moved on from her disastrous two-week marriage to Tyson, who repeatedly asked for a “submissive wife”.

She has now spoken about their wedding and revealed the real reason his mum was absent from his extremely male-heavy party.

In a dig at the casting directors and experts, Steph said: “I think I was paired with him to challenge him.”

She added: “I found a voice I didn’t know I had within me. I’m not a fiery person by nature but there are some times where I really could have lost my [bleep] with him.

“Half the time I didn’t know if I was fight or flight, I was clammy in the hands and constantly reactive and combative. I was on edge all the time.

“I was not paired with someone who allowed me to be my true, happy, fun self. It sucks.”

Stephanie also spoke about the sly comments Tyson would make about how much she ate, which were seen on-screen.

“There was a few times he would comment on what I was eating,” she added. “I like most girls struggle with body dysmorphia issues.

“I spoke to him about that and he shared that someone in his close circle struggled with bulimia and almost died. Yet he’s then out there making those kinds of comments.”

Why Tyson’s mum wasn’t his MAFS Australia wedding

Stephanie revealed to Ella that Tyson never unpacked during his two-week stint on MAFS Australia. She also spilled the tea on the real reason why his mum wasn’t at their wedding.

The estate agent, who is now happy and in a new relationship, said about her Big Day: “As soon as he opened his mouth, I was like, ‘Good God’.

“We made it through the vows but, by our little photo shoot, I had noticed his audience. Even Alissa [Fay] said it, as she was sat behind his family. She was like, ‘Where are all the women?’. I had two gay guys and four women in my party.

“I was like, ‘Where’s your mum?’ He made a couple of rogue comments about that. He commented on her being a bit self-conscious about her weight.

“He then went into how he encourages her to go to the gym and how she doesn’t like it. I’m the same with my mum, but I wouldn’t go out calling my mum fat when I’ve got a microphone on me on Australian national television.”
