Married At First Sight’s Al Perkins reveals unexplained dinner party trauma that led to medical emergency: ‘I was so embarrassed’
During the final season of Married at First Sight, groom Al Perkins became known for boyish antics like drinking out of his shoe.
And now Bondi Chippie, 26, has revealed he wasn’t always so boorish behind the scenes on the hit reality show, reports Yahoo! Lifestyle.
While filming a dinner party scene, Al said he longed to break the wind because things didn’t go to plan.
While filming a dinner party scene in last season’s Married at First Sight, groom Al Perkins (pictured) said he longed to break the wind. Instead, he held the gas on long enough to cause a medical emergency
“I really needed to fart and that’s why I held that fart back for so long because I was too embarrassed to fart in front of everyone at the dinner table and I think it did something to my stomach,” he told the publication.
“I started getting really bad stomach pains and I couldn’t sleep properly,” Al added, recalling his trauma that never got aired.
“And then her [the producers] had to… medically monitor me.’
Al, who matched Samantha Moitzi, said his stomach problems prompted him to spend his only night alone in a guest room away from the bride.

Elsewhere in the chat, Al said he found his nagging “plumbing” problem funny at first, until he started having a stomach ache.
It comes after Al recently had an awkward conversation live on air after being confronted with a former booty call he got in the friend zone.
The reality star was discussing his role on Love Island on 2Day FM’s Hughesy Ed & Erin when the presenters struck him up with Emma, who he once met.

Al said he was surprised to speak to her after he “just went into hiding” – while appearing on Channel Nine’s series Love Island Australia.
In December, Al made an adult comment during the Love Island Australia grand finale.
After moderator Sophie Monk overwhelmed the 26-year-old and his screen partner Jessica Losurdo with spicy details, their interview quickly became a pillow talk.

“My one-eyed snake didn’t get much sleep last night,” he said of their date the night before.
The MAFS star couldn’t wipe the smile off his face after his cheeky confession.
Companions gasped before bursting into laughter as Sophie considered how to react.
