The 35-year-old said she didn’t properly think about the impact of going on the reality TV program on her and her family.
Married At First Sight bride Gia Fleur has revealed she absolutely regrets going on the Channel 9 show to find love. The 35-year-old disability support worker from Victoria has copped a lot of criticism for her behaviour on the show after ganging up on other contestants with fellow bride Brook.
While it seems the experts matched her perfectly with groom Scott McCristal, she’s now opened up about how being on the reality TV show has affected her and her family. Gia told SEN Radio‘s The Run Home with Joel and Fletch that it’s had a particular effect on her eight-year-old daughter.
“It’s just a bit hard for her,” she said.
“[She’s] coming home crying saying, ‘Somebody picked on me and said that your mum’s this and that’. And I’m just like, ‘Oh my God’, because she’s never seen this side of me.
“I’m not like this in day-to-day life.
“I don’t walk down the street and call somebody a name, like it’s just not how I am.
“So, yeah, it’s just been very confronting, and just having to console her and try and deal with it myself.”
When asked whether she regretted going on the popular TV show she said “100 million per cent”.
Gia admitted that she didn’t actually think about the realities of being on the program and how it might impact her and her daughter’s life once the cameras stopped rolling.
“I had a very quiet life before,” she said.
“Being a mum for me is my number one priority.
