Shameless Married At First Sight stars show off their FIFTY-SEVEN rolls of toilet paper – as ordinary Australians struggle to find essentials because of coronavirus panic buyers
Married At First Sight’s Nick Furphy and Jesse Konstantinoff have hoarded 57 rolls of toilet paper in their Melbourne apartment.
The best friends, who starred on the show’s fourth season in 2017 and then moved in together in St Kilda, boasted of their haul on Instagram on Monday.
Nick jokingly blamed Jesse for stockpiling such a large amount, but Jesse accused his roommate of being the real coronavirus panic buyer in their household.

‘You f**king hoarder,’ Nick said in an Instagram Story post.
‘Have it back,’ Jesse replied while filming himself throwing the toilet paper – despite the rest of the country struggling to buy any amid the shortage.
Their stockpile of toilet paper includes luxury brands and more affordable options.

Bizarrely, Nick and Jesse have a history of unnecessary bulk buying.
Last year, Nick stocked up on $600 worth of salami following his split from Jessika Power, and proudly hung the 30kg of meat on his apartment balcony.
He said he hoped the salami would last him two years.

Since COVID-19 was first declared a pandemic in March, Australian panic buyers have stripped supermarket shelves of toilet paper and other everyday items.
Stores like Woolworths and Coles are still struggling to keep up with the demand.
