'Couldn’t resist temptation.' Everything we know about the SECOND MAFS cheating scandal.

This season of Married At First Sight Australia is officially the most chaotic season yet. 

And just in case you thought things were about to chill out, we must inform you: it's about to get worse. 

So far, we've seen one cheating scandal unfold already (we're barely three weeks in, BTW), a problematic 'sex fiend' edit, a gaslighting groom and several (!!!) leaks regarding which grooms and brides stay together. 

And now we know a second major cheating scandal involving not one, not two, but THREE grooms is about to unfold before our eyes.

Here's everything we know. 

Dan and Harrison "couldn't resist temptation".

According to new claims, Dan - who insisted he didn't hit on a girl at the bar - definitely (allegedly) did.

"These guys are meant to be committed to their new wives, but couldn’t resist temptation," an insider told Daily Mail Australia.

According to reports, "drinks were flowing" between the men and they were "shouting, cheering and causing a scene."

"It’s a wonder they didn’t get kicked out of the bar," they said.

During Thursday night's dinner party, Janelle admitted she overheard Dan speaking to her husband on the phone, where he spoke about her exchanging number with a girl while they were partying. She considered telling Sandy - Dan's on-screen wife. 

Harrison, who overheard the conversation, believed Janelle was speaking about him... only to realise it was actually Dan they were discussing. 

"Dan wanted no involvement in the scandal and was trying to play this 'good guy' card," the source said.

The groom accused Harrison of lying, promised did nothing wrong and that he wanted to have trust between them. Wow. If you're wondering, she "didn’t believe him". 

A production insider also claimed Bronte - who is Harrison's wife - only chose to believe him when he said he accepted the girl's number because he didn't want to hurt her feelings, only went along with it to stay on the show.

The only one who has gotten away scot-free is bachelor Cam.

Three bachelors involved in a SECOND cheating scandal.

So Dramatic's Megan Pustetto was the first to leak what unfolds in the other cheating scandal on Married At First Sight season nine.

The drama involves none other than Harrison Boon (the self-proclaimed "unintentional f**kboy"), Dan Junjas and Cam Woods.

An insider gave the tea on the event that is about to unfold, and the details are... messy. 

"Harrison, Cam and Dan go out one night and pick up chicks. It's really bad," they told the So Dramatic! podcast.

All three grooms allegedly "hooked up with some girls and got their numbers" while taking part in the experiment. 

If you're wondering how the drama gets exposed, supposedly it's because one of the grooms might not be the sharpest tools in the shed.

According to the publication, Harrison calls Adam the following day to debrief and Janelle overhears the whole chat... in its entirety. 

Janelle then threatens to tell Bronte (Harrison's bride) herself and eventually does at the week's dinner party.

When she confronts Harrison, his response is very telling. Because he tells her it isn't a huge deal since he "never called the girl back and pursued things."

"Bronte was like, 'but you still took the number. You should have said you're married and committed to someone. Why did you even take the number'?" the source shared. 

"Then it explodes between them and the drama is next level."

We're not quite sure how the situation will play out with Dan and Cam's partners, but we know one thing for sure: an explosion is imminent. 

There will be two more couple swaps.

Aside from the SECOND cheating scandal, there are also apparently going to be two more couple swaps between the brides and grooms. 

The first recoupling happened when Lyndall and fellow groom Josh Hall were spotting kissing outside of the experiment (and after filming had ended). 

Josh had his own anti-fairytale ending with his bride Melissa Sheppard, who we will see leave the experiment crying. 

According to sources, Cam will also be involved in a "sexting scandal" with intruder bride Tayla Winter.

"Tayla and Cam had a fling after filming wrapped," the source said. 

"She FaceTimed him out of the experiment and it becomes this big thing even though both couples weren't together when it happened."

The third couple swap will include Lyndall again – but this time with intruder groom Hugo Armstrong. 

All in all, we're still yet to see all the drama unravel as there are still five more weeks of absolute chaos coming our way.
