A romance plot line on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! has spectacularly failed.
According to a source at Daily Mail, the show’s producers tried to create a romantic connection between Tammy Hembrow’s former partner, Matt Zukowski, and Mia Fevola, but their efforts were unsuccessful.
According to a source speaking with Daily Mail, Matt wasn’t reciprocated by Brendan Favola’s 26-year-old daughter, who simply wasn’t interested in him.
According to a source, the show intentionally paired these actors hoping to create romantic tension, but the storyline ultimately fell flat with viewers.
Oh my gosh, everyone was dying to see Matt and Mia together! I mean, they’ve both just gotten out of really public relationships, and the producers were totally hoping for some serious chemistry – like, sparks flying, a real romance! I was so rooting for them, honestly. It just felt like it could be something special!
According to a source, Mia – who revealed she was single in July following her breakup with Bass Miller – isn’t easily fooled.
According to a source, she was raised knowing everything about her father, Brendan Fevola, including his well-publicized affair with model Laura Bingle from two decades ago.
Her parents taught their daughters to be very aware of their surroundings and cautious around certain men.
She had been cautioned about men like Matt, and as soon as she got a sense of his personality, she understood his intentions.
Recently divorced Matt, who has talked about his brief and difficult marriage to Tammy on the show, was given chances by the producers to try and improve his situation.
According to a source, Mia and Matt had private moments together while waiting around and during travel between filming locations. They were also able to see each other during these trips – they weren’t kept separate or blindfolded.
Oh my gosh, there were times when Matt could have really connected with her, you know? It was like the show’s producers were practically giving them alone time, setting it all up for them! It was so obvious, and I was just screaming at the TV for them to take the moment!
‘Mia wasn’t rude, she just wasn’t interested. Matt would try to flirt, and it would kind of… die.’
Mia didn’t seem very engaged, leading producers to speculate if she had a secret boyfriend she was missing back home.
‘Because it didn’t make sense to them, ‘ the source continued:
‘They couldn’t figure out why she wouldn’t engage with it.’
When Mia didn’t seem interested, the show’s producers believed there was a connection forming between the Love Island contestant and Concetta Caristo from JJJ.
After plans for a romantic connection between Matt and Mia fell through, producers decided to abandon that storyline. According to a source, the influencer simply wasn’t interested in Matt.
Mia’s lack of connection with the hunky charmer apparently left Matt surprised.
‘Matt came in thinking he’d do well in the jungle,’ said the source.
‘But the romance angle? That was supposed to be his lane, and Mia just didn’t give him anything.
‘When you take the dating element out of the Love Island guy, it does take away his advantage.’
