Married At First Sight Star’s Stripper Past Exposed at Hens’ Party

Newly uncovered images have revealed Married At First Sight groom Eliot Donovan’s racy past as a topless waiter.

Daily Mail Australia can reveal that the 35-year-old business owner previously spent six years working in the adult industry, stripping down for ladies’ nights and lavish bachelorette parties.

In newly-discovered Polaroid-like pictures, a young and cheerful Eliot is captured smiling while showcasing his well-toned body at the hen party of the Australian model Jennifer Hawkins.

In recently unveiled photos reminiscent of Polaroids, Eliot, with a youthful glow, can be seen grinning and displaying his sculpted physique during Jennifer Hawkins’ hen party in Australia.

In one of the pictures, there I am, utterly smitten, staring at Hawkins all decked out in a stunning white mini dress and heels. Her golden tresses flow gracefully over her face as she lets out a contagious giggle next to a shirtless Eliot. He’s flaunting his chiseled abs and intricately tattooed chest, making my heart skip a beat!

An alternate photograph showcases the MAFS groom amidst a bustling crowd of revelers, adopting a jovial posture while dancing enthusiastically into the night.

In an interview with Daily Mail Australia, Eliot reminisced about his past filled with daring moments, openly acknowledging that although it offered a distinct experience, he never envisioned it as a lasting profession.

He admitted that it was an intriguing encounter, but he couldn’t imagine it fitting into a committed partnership with someone special, he shared.

During a girls’ weekend at The Star in Sydney, Hawkins, as shown in old photos, was relaxing and enjoying herself by letting her hair down.

The businesswoman who won the title of Miss Universe in the past and is now a successful entrepreneur stayed at The Darling Hotel along with her family, which consisted of her mother Gail and sister Kristy.

Eliot worked as a topless waiter between the ages of 20 and 26, appearing at private events, clubs, and high-end venues.

He eventually left the industry behind to focus on business ventures in Australia and Sri Lanka.

Earlier reports suggest that he previously served in the navy.

Photos from the past depict the tattooed bridegroom striking poses alongside Troy Thompson, a contestant from Beauty and The Geek, at various music festivals.

Photos of Eliot shared to social media almost a decade ago, also show interactions with The Bachelor’s Kiki Morris, Influencer Krystal Dawson and Simone Holtznagel.

A source close to the matter has recently revealed shocking details about the true nature of Eliot Cloherty’s relationship with Veronica Cloherty, hinting that the series may not have presented the full picture.

A source claims Eliot and Veronica’s honeymoon phase was very short-lived.

‘At the start Eliot and Veronica clicked. Things felt really natural and easy, just like what viewers later saw with her and Dave during Feedback Week,’ the insider explained.

‘But after the first dinner party Veronica’s behaviour towards Eliot changed dramatically. Off-camera she would tell him things like, “Your plot has already been written.” It felt more like he was living with a prison guard than a wife.’

As per the source, I observed that the situation intensified when I began aligning myself with Lauren Hall, Eliot’s first spouse during our experiment.

‘Veronica made it clear—Lauren was her friend now and if Eliot didn’t follow along with what she said she would confirm the negative things Lauren had said about him. It was a toxic situation looking back,’ they added.

It was claimed by the source that, after noticing a change in public sentiment towards Lauren, Veronica attempted to disassociate herself from her.

‘When people started seeing how horrible Lauren was, Veronica suddenly began using Dave to manipulate Eliot, constantly telling him how amazing Dave was and how he didn’t measure up,’ the source claimed.

It’s suggested that Veronica carefully planned her image and actions on the TV series.

‘Looking back, it seems like Veronica made a bet that Lauren would be shown as a damsel in distress and she positioned herself as the hero to save the day by putting Eliot in his place, regardless of who he really was or how he acted,’ the insider said.

But according to the source, things didn’t go as planned.

If Veronica’s strategy had gone as planned, the outcome could have been different, but it was thwarted by the kindness of Jamie, Awhina, and Beth who defended Eliot at the dinner party after the revelations in the letter. This act altered the group’s atmosphere, causing Lauren to reveal her true nature, ultimately exposing Veronica.

In the end, Eliot and Veronica decided to leave the study after an intense Vow Renewal event, causing disagreement among their fellow participants and the professionals involved.

Veronica accused Eliot of ‘baiting’ her, claiming he repeatedly shut her down in conversations.

‘No matter how many times I try to resolve it it doesn’t end well for me,’ she told the experts, adding she felt ‘blindsided’ by Eliot’s ‘amazing persona’ in front of the group.

A visibly frustrated Eliot pushed back.

He countered, saying that much of what she claimed was clearly false, and if there was any accusation of provocation, it was coming from her side.

The couple’s explosive row was only fuelled by their troubled Feedback Week, where Veronica admitted she felt more connected to Dave Hand, her swapped husband, than to Eliot.

She even praised Dave for his small but thoughtful actions after meals while making pointed comments about Eliot’s lack of effort.

In a final attempt to reconcile, Eliot actually suggested giving Veronica homemade bone broth, yet she angrily left their residence instead.

Initially, Eliot was viewed as a controversial bridegroom, but during his last phase in the study, there has been a change in how the public sees him.
