Mike Gunner was ‘flirting’ with co-star Sarah Roza while filming Married At First Sight reunion

After being left heartbroken and branded a ‘gaslighter’ on Married At First Sight, Mike Gunner has set his sights on a new bride.

The 45-year-old hunk has been getting rather friendly with fellow MAFS star Sarah Roza, 42, who appeared on the Channel Nine social experiment the year before him.

Daily Mail Australia understands that the unlikely duo have struck up a new friendship since filming the reunion.

‘Mike was very protective of Sarah and didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable on set,’ a source revealed.

‘Sarah loves a confident man, and was over the moon when he had her back and hit back at Nasser Sultan (who also appears in the reunion special) for all the vile things he said about her over the years.’

Mike and Sarah have been publicly displaying their new friendship on social media by liking and commenting each other’s photos.

It comes as New Idea claimed the tattoo artist was ‘like a kid in a candy shop’ and was ‘trying his luck with anyone he could’ while filming the reunion special in Sydney last month.

According to the publication, Mike was ‘seriously flirty on set’ and seemed ‘very starry-eyed for Sarah’.

‘There was lots of chatter about his interest in her,’ a source told the magazine. 

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Mike has rubbished the magazine’s claims and says that the pair are just friends. 

Back in 2019, Mike was accused of ‘gaslighting’ his ‘wife’ Heidi Latcham during the final reunion episode when he told her he was ‘still in love with’ her. 

‘Gaslighting’ is the practice of emotionally abusing another person with such conviction and confidence that the victim starts to doubt their own sense of reality.
