Married At First Sight 2026's sauciest bride risks major wardrobe malfunction as she marries Aussie reality star in beach ceremony
Gia Fleur was exclusively pictured by Daily Mail Australia on Monday wearing a very racy wedding ensemble as she married Aussie reality star Scott McCristal in a romantic beach ceremony.
The bride put on a busty display in a mermaid tail dress, which tightly hugged her figure as she wed the Million Dollar Island alum on Maroubra Beach.
The frock boasted long sleeves, an accentuated waist and a high slit up the leg, which saw Gia risk a major wardrobe malfunction as she walked down the aisle.
However, it was the frilly, bow-emblazoned garter wrapped around her left leg that raised eyebrows.

Gia finished off the look by sweeping up her golden locks into a bun and wore a jewel-encrusted tiara.
Gia's groom was smitten as she came down the aisle.
The couple were all smiles as they wed in front of a picturesque beach scene.
Scott could be seen leaning back in fits of laughter after one point as they held hands at the altar.
The new couple exchanged rings and then a kiss as they said 'I do' for MAFS fans across the globe.
Later on, Scott and Gia enjoyed a loved-up photo shoot on the beach, where they could be seen striking a variety of poses.
One picture saw the couple in a passionate embrace, with Gia's garter-laden leg lifted up by her husband.
Later, Scott carried his new bride across the beach.
While the newest season of MAFS has kicked off with a bang, according to reports, it nearly didn't happen.
Daily Mail Australia previously revealed the 2026 season almost didn't make it to air after last-minute cast dropouts forced producers to scramble behind the scenes.
'They had multiple people pull out and had to move quickly to fill those spots,' one well-placed source revealed.
But the end result? A bold, diverse cast of professionals, creatives, and big personalities - with producers tipping this to be one of the 'most explosive seasons yet.'
'Some couples are hitting it off immediately, others are absolute mismatches - the drama is already building,' one insider said.

But the reality star is buoyed by the support of the public, and her new A List fans. Jamie says: 'Cara Delevingne actually slid into my DMs and she still follows me. 'I should have this message printed and hung up somewhere, she messaged me: 'Obsessed with you!' 'I hope she was screaming at the TV - and I hope she was just as pissed off at my ex-husband as I was.' Jamie was left shocked and heartbroken when she told her husband Dave Hand that she had fallen in love with him, only to be told her feelings were no longer reciprocated. The couple still confirmed their vows at the end of the series, but their marriage had ended by the time the cast got together for a reunion. She says she endured a traumatic 'public humiliation', and she and Dave no longer speak. Cara, 32, has endured her own relationship dramas, having previously been linked to Harry Styles, singer St. Vincent, actress Ashley Benson. She told last year how one 'really horrible breakup' left her so distraught, she had to move in with pal Taylor Swift, telling Interview magazine: 'She looked after me so well." But Cara has happily been in a relationship with singer Leah Mason, known as Minke, since 2022. Jamie said she got through her hurt by 'trauma dumping into ChatGPT', as she says she appreciates the AI system's lack of judgement. Married At First Sight's Awhina breaks silence on Billy romance after pair went 'Instagram official' In a shock to viewers, since the show, she has also briefly dated another of the show's grooms, Eliot Donovan, who was married to two brides during the series. Jamie now says she could potentially see a future together - though their romance proved tricky as they live in different states in Australia. Jamie says: 'Of course I potentially could see a future with Eliot. We do have a really beautiful friendship - there are a lot of qualities that I would want in a future partner, and I think vice versa. 'We do have a lot of respect for each other but I also think there's probably characteristics that we'd want that we might not have in each other… Married At First Sight Australia Couples 2025 Lauren, 37, Business Owner, and Clint, 43, Pro Golfer Eliot, 35, Business Owner, and Veronica, 32, Personal Trainer/Actor Beth, 28, Salon Manager, and Teejay, 28, Business Development Manager Jacqui, 29, Consultant, and Ryan, 36, Project Manager Morena, 57, DJ/Fitness Instructor, and Tony, 53, Charter Captain Rhi, 34, Account Manager, and Jeff, 39, Electrician Ashleigh, 34, Dance Studio Owner, and Jake, 30, Teacher Awhina, 30, Aged Care Worker, and Adrian, 30, E-Commerce Business Owner Sierah, 31, Financial Associate Advisor, and Billy, 31, Plasterer Jamie, 28, Account Manager, and Dave, 36, Builder Katie, 37, CEO and Tim, 38, Primary School Teacher Carina, 31, Digital Marketing Manager and Paul, 30, Wellness Advisor 'I'm an intense person in a romantic relationship.

'I think this whole experience made me realise that just because they're better than the previous person, doesn't mean they're the person I am supposed to be with. 'I think that's my problem - I try to fit them in the mould. But this time, I'm so close to settling and being unhappy and not having my needs met, that I want to make sure I'm making the right decision the next time round.' But she is open to dating again, adding: "The only romantic interest I've had since Dave has been Eliot so it's been a very, very quiet time - I'm trying to break that habit." Jamie has been approached to appear on other TV shows, and would like to "dip into the cookie jar" of acting, next, too. While in the UK, she has hung out with Baywatch star Pamela Anderson and Taken's Liam Neeson at the Naked Gun premiere in London and appeared on ITV Daytime's Lorraine. 5 Cara slid into Jamie's DMs after watching her on the show Credit: Getty

Kerry Katona takes a brutal swipe at Brooklyn Beckham as she weighs in on nepotism row
Kerry Katona didn't hold back as she took a brutal swipe at Brooklyn Beckham during her latest interview with The Sun on Friday. In a joint interview with her best friend Katie Price, the reality star mothers weighed in on the nepotism debate as they discussed their hopes for their daughters to appear on Love Island. Speaking about giving Heidi, 18, a leg up in the industry, Kerry shot down any claims of nepotism as she explained: 'Everyone talks about nepotism right, but everyone has a contact for somebody. 'I can open a door for you. Whether you get through that door and you stay through it, that's on your own f*****g merit.' Taking a swipe at the eldest Beckham child she added: 'You don't see Brooklyn Beckham playing f*cking football, because he's s**t.' Brooklyn, now 26, famously quit football after realising it would be 'difficult' to live up to his father David. The budding chef, previously played in Arsenal's youth academy but decided to give up the sport when the club released him at 16. Daily Mail have contacted both Kerry and Brooklyn's representatives for comment. David, 50, has been hailed as one of the greatest midfielders of his generation and won 19 major trophies throughout his 20-year football career. Speaking to Variety back in 2022, Brooklyn said his father 'wasn't sad' to see him give up the sport, despite it being his 'life' from a young age. He said: 'My dad wasn't sad, because he was like, "I just want you to be happy." But of course I was sad. It was my whole life since I was literally two. 'To try and live up to what my dad did in football, I was just like, "that's going to be a bit difficult." ' Since abandoning his football career, Brooklyn has explored other avenues including cooking and photography. As well as working with multiple brands he also launched his own hot sauce brand, Cloud 23, last year. Weighing in on the nepo baby debate himself last year he admitted: 'Obviously I am one. But I couldn't help how I was born, at all.' Speaking to Grazia magazine, he revealed that while he understands why the public can feel irked by nepo babies, Brooklyn said he tries to ignore the 'rubbish' people say rather than dwell on it. He added: 'There's always going to be people that say rubbish. But as long as you do something that makes you happy and you're kind to people, that's all that matters. 'I'm always gonna get it, no matter what I do. And I'm fine with that. It makes me work harder, because I'm like, I'm gonna prove these people wrong.' Speaking about his hot sauce brand he told Delish magazine: 'I did my research and I just felt like there was this hole in the market with luxury condiments, especially for a really good price.' Explaining his move into condiments, he said, 'I've always been a foodie. I've always been lucky enough to travel to different places in the world with my mum and dad. Obviously my dad with football, we lived in Madrid, we lived in LA, Milan. 'Then Covid happened, I met my wife and started cooking for her and just fell in love with it. And now it's just something that just takes my mind off of things.'

Naga Munchetty's backstage tantrums revealed: Under-fire BBC Breakfast host is 'an absolute nightmare' to junior staff - and woe betide anyone who gets her porridge order wrong
Under-fire BBC presenter Naga Munchetty has a reputation for going 'ballistic' at junior staff, and humiliated an intern who didn't make her porridge perfectly, a source has claimed. A source, who previously worked with Naga, 50, on BBC Breakfast, revealed the TV host is 'an absolute nightmare', adding that she would 'kick off about the smallest of issues'. It comes as sources revealed Naga could face a probe from BBC bosses, and has been placed 'under review' amid claims bullied a junior colleague on the flagship morning show. A source told The Daily Mail: 'She's an absolute nightmare. She has a reputation for going at young members of staff and making them out to be fools. 'She would kick off about the smallest of issues, including one time she went ballistic over her breakfast not being prepared exactly how she likes it by an intern.' On one occasion, Naga refused to eat porridge delivered by an intern in an ad break, which is typically done, saying it was 'too hot for her to eat in the time she had, the source said. 'She said it's always made exactly the same way for her each day and would prefer if the same person made it who knows exactly how she likes it,' they added. 'The guy walked off the set utterly humiliated and went back to chuck it away before trying again in time for the next ad break. It was pretty brutal to watch.' A BBC spokesperson said: 'While we do not comment on individual cases, we take all complaints about conduct at work extremely seriously and will not tolerate behaviour that is not in line with our values. 'We have robust processes in place and would encourage any staff with concerns to raise them directly with us so they can be addressed.' The Daily Mail has approached Naga's representatives for comment. It comes shortly after sources told The Sun that the BBC Breakfast host was 'under review' with bosses considering escalating complaints to a formal investigation amid concerns over her 'hard' and 'bullying' behaviour. Following the amount of people who have come forward to share their experiences with Naga, the BBC has officially moved to place the complaints under review. 'The review is to ascertain whether a full-on investigation is required and that could come in weeks', the source told The Sun. The journalist was reportedly previously spoken to by bosses over claims she bullied a female junior staff member as well as a complaint she used a slang term for a sexual act off-air at BBC Radio 5 Live. Naga used a slang term for a sex act during an off-air break in 2022, which stunned the studio and led to Naga being spoken to by bosses. It was then reported that last year, Naga hauled into a meeting by bosses over the alleged bullying of a junior female colleague on BBC Breakfast. Under-fire editor Richard Frediani (pictured) has reportedly taken an extended period of leave after an internal review of bullying and misconduct allegations was opened into the show Munchetty was also reportedly hauled into a meeting after she made a sex jibe during an ad break while hosting her radio show Recently, BBC Breakfast editor Richard Frediani reportedly took an extended period of leave after an internal review of bullying and misconduct allegations was opened into the show. It was previously claimed that the show's staff are feeling increasingly 'uneasy' around Frediani, with the former Head of ITV News accused of 'shaking' a female editor while working on the show. Richard has stepped back from the show, and while he had already taken time off to go on holiday, has mutually agreed to extend his break, according to The Sun. A source previously compared the workplace to 'The Hunger Games', saying the morning program had been 'ripped apart, with some staff members backing Naga and Richard, while others disagree with their approach. 'Breakfast is no longer just divided, it's been ripped apart,' told The Sun. They explained while many have welcomed the investigation into the workplace and Frediani, others support his 'tougher' and 'traditional journalistic' approach. And with the emergence of 'two camps' on the show, the latest revelations about Naga are said to have 'thrown a new twist on the scandal'. Amid the fallout, Munchetty's agents have reportedly 'held talks with rival station LBC' to explore opportunities for the journalist. A source told The Sun: 'The fallout of Richard Frediani's investigation created a stark 'him or her' narrative on Breakfast with Naga flung to the front line. 'The fact is she loves the BBC and her job but there's only so much external noise anyone is prepared to take. 'LBC would suit her well as the focus remains on news-led broadcasting, they take a hard line and there's far less of the fluffy nonsense involved in working at the BBC. 'Her team last week renewed historic talks with the Global radio station to see if there could be any work for her there.' Last month, new figures released by the broadcaster revealed the presenter was awarded a £10,000 increase in her annual salary. Her pay packet now sits at an eye-watering £355,000 - almost double that of her co-host Charlie Stayt. Stayt, 63, has remained in the £190,000 bracket as tensions between the pair are said to be 'rife'. Munchetty hosts BBC Breakfast on Thursdays to Saturdays with Charlie, while Jon Kay and Sally Nugent anchor the program from the start of the week.
