‘Better safe than sorry’: Married At First Sight’s Stacey Hampton is tested for coronavirus as she continues her ‘work’ holiday in Melbourne
Married At First Sight star Stacey Hampton has been tested for coronavirus at one of the new drive-through facilities.
The 26-year-old law graduate revealed on Thursday she got the test just to be ‘safe’.
The mother-of-two has been splitting her time between Melbourne and Adelaide for ‘essential work’ over the past month, previously spotted heading to the hair salon, shopping for cars and hanging out her friend, Bitcoin investor Anthony Hess.

Stacey shared footage of her rolling up to the coronavirus testing facility in her Range Rover rental, filming medical professionals as they filled out paperwork.
‘Corona testing is now set up for anyone who works as essential workers. Better safe than sorry,’ she told fans on Instagram stories.
On Wednesday, Stacey stopped off at Joey Scandizzo Salon and picked Anthony up in her new wheels, before spending another night at the five-star Crown Towers Melbourne.

Anthony has been documenting their trip on social media, posting elevator selfies with Stacey, photos of expensive champagne, and videos of their luxury suite on Tuesday.
Since March 21, Stacey has flown almost 6,000km on four round trips – but she insists they are all ‘essential travel’.
The law graduate turned aspiring influencer told Daily Mail Australia she has been following the government’s advice on business trips and self-isolating in hotels during any downtime.

‘I’ve been travelling to Melbourne for my charity and I also do essential service work for a transport company every second week,’ Stacey said on Tuesday.
‘I’m only travelling to and from business locations, otherwise I’m isolating in my hotel until I return. I do the legal and accounts for the transport company [in Melbourne].’
The mother-of-two supposedly has ‘clearance’ to travel for work during the COVID-19 pandemic, as millions of Australians stay at home to help flatten the curve.
On Monday, Stacey made the 750km journey from Adelaide to Melbourne yet again, which means she will have travelled 6,000km in five weeks once she returns.

She has previously spoken of her reluctance to work a full-time job, saying that motherhood is her main priority.
‘A lot of people ask why I’m not using my law degree, but not many law firms like to take on people who only want three days a week,’ she said.
‘If I did five days a week then I feel like I’m not being fair on my children and I’m not there for them.’
When she’s not jetting across the country, Stacey lives in Adelaide with her two sons, Kosta and Kruz.
