Married At First Sight: Bride is unrecognisable as a teenager

Married At First Sight EXCLUSIVE: This bride looks unrecognisable in her high school yearbook photo… so can you guess who it is?

She became an overnight celebrity after starring on Married At First Sight.

But before her debut on Nine’s social experiment, this bride-to-be was just an ordinary schoolgirl growing up in Adelaide

In a high school yearbook photo obtained by Daily Mail Australia, she looks almost unrecognisable as a young teenager.

It’s Stacey Hampton, the feisty 26-year-old law graduate from Adelaide, who MAFS fans love to hate.  

In her high school photo, Stacey had shoulder-length dark brown hair, which was later replaced by her current long blonde style.

Her lips were also noticeably thinner than they appear now, completely altering the appearance of her face.

Stacey has been partnered with millionaire company director Michael Goonan, 28, on the hit Channel Nine reality series.  

‘I’m quite intimidating to men, so I haven’t had the time nor the opportunity to be taken seriously by someone,’ she said on the show.

‘Initially, obviously I’m attracted to looks first. But then personality is what keeps me around. That personality is for the long-term.’

Stacey experienced the wrath of fans after fighting with Michael during their honeymoon in Fiji and then refusing to accept his apology.

Fans of the show blasted the mum-of-two on Twitter, branding her ‘awful’ and a ‘hypocrite’.

‘Okay so Michael’s a d**k, but Stacey is a straight up cow. Get her off my screen!’ wrote one person.
