Bad news for anyone who was hoping to seduce former Married at First Sight (MAFS) groom Scott McCristal: the 33-year-old has revealed he’s in a new relationship.

“There is someone in the picture, but I can’t really confirm anything because it’s early days,” he dished in an interview with The Daily Mail.

Scott revealed a tiny bit more about his new flame in a separate radio interview, stating that the woman he’s dating was someone he already knew. “We were friends and it’s turned into something,” he said, speaking to Gina & Matty For Breakfast.

Scott has also said that his difficult marriage to Gia Fleur has given him clarity about what he wants and doesn’t want in a partner. “I know what I deserve and what I don’t deserve,’ he revealed. “I know someone’s out there that will meet my needs and actually accept me for who I am.”

Scott takes aim at MAFS castmates for ‘selling’ their relationships

In the Daily Mail interview, Scott also has a go at his former MAFS castmates for “seling” their new relationships for cash. “They’re flaunting their new relationships,” he said. “It’s like, how do you move on that fast?”

The publication reckons he took aim at former MAFS brides Gia and Alissa, who have both debuted new boyfriends in recent weeks.

“You have to go to a magazine to make money to write an article about a new man. That’s pretty immature, if I’m honest,” he said. “That’s desperate.”

Scott also took the opportunity to reflect on his former relationship with Gia. “Of course I had feelings for her at the time,” he conceded.

“The amount of comments she made to me behind closed doors was just phenomenal… just kept copping it and copping it. I don’t deserve someone to treat me like that.”

In any case, Scott says he doesn’t regret his MAFS experience. “I’ve learned to have a voice and not be silent,’ he said. “I’ll never let someone walk over me again.”
