Married At First Sight besties Gia Fleur and Chris Robinson solidified their friendship during filming as they took a trip to a tattoo parlour, dragging along Scott McCristal.
The disability support worker, 35, who has been one of the most controversial brides this season, was all smiles as she latched onto her groom’s arm.
But inside, things took a different turn as she and her pal Chris, 38, spent their time bonding over matching tattoos while Scott, 33, sat off to the side on his phone.
The pair looked loved up as they entered the parlour, packing on the PDA as Scott placed a hand on her behind.
However, the mother-of-one, who stepped out in a white minidress, quickly became absorbed with filming TikTok videos as she and Chris inked their arms.
Gia and Chris commemorated their time on the show with the respective ‘stargirl’ and ‘starboy’ tattooed on their arms.

They could be seen having the time of their lives together as they supported one another through the process.
But the fun didn’t end there as they were later seen filming more videos together, showing off their tattoos.
Gia also did a twirl for the camera at one point, showing her derriere to the camera as Scott could be seen in the background engrossed in his phone.
The distance between the pair is unsurprising as Scott recently unleashed on his TV bride, declaring he will ‘never’ speak to her again after their disastrous homestay.
The businessman, whose split from Gia has yet to air on TV, accused the bride of ‘belittling him and calling him names’ during their time at his home on the Gold Coast.
‘It looks like she deliberately tried to sabotage it,’ Scott claimed. ‘By far the most difficult, hardest to understand, untrustworthy woman I’ve ever met in my entire life.
‘I’ve never freaking dealt with such hard cards on the table in my whole life.’
The groom said their relationship spiralled during homestays, when Gia arrived at his apartment and immediately criticised everything from the cleanliness to his lifestyle.

‘I don’t want to sit there and be constantly brought down and made to feel like I’m not good enough,’ he said. ‘That’s how it felt. Nothing was going to be good enough.’
While viewers saw the couple clash over a pink neck pillow, which Gia questioned as a possible sign of another woman, Scott said the tension ran far deeper.
‘It wasn’t about trying to start a fight,’ he explained. ‘That’s just her personality and her insecurities trying to find an issue because she couldn’t find one.
‘She’ll just find absolutely anything possible.’
Scott said the real breaking point came when he asked Gia a simple question about trust.
‘I said, “Do you trust me 100 per cent?” and she couldn’t even give me a direct answer,’ he said. ‘She tried to turn it around on me.’
The reality star alleged the worst of Gia’s behaviour was not shown on television.
‘You can only imagine what happens off camera,’ he said. ‘She just comes at me, throws me under the bus, calls me fake, belittles me, calls me names.

When they were finished filming, Gia sat a short distance away from Scott as she shared beverage with Chris
‘It was every night. No matter what I said or did, I was in trouble.’
Scott also revealed an unaired incident where Gia allegedly refused to attend a planned dinner before ‘going rogue’ at him inside his apartment.
‘It was uncomfortable. She was trying to leave, yelling at me, saying I’d thrown her under the bus,’ he claimed.
Despite the turmoil, Scott admitted he initially kept quiet in a bid to make the relationship work.
‘I was holding back the whole time,’ he said. ‘I thought it was going to get better. I didn’t want to be that guy throwing his partner under the bus.’
But as the pressure mounted, he said he was forced to speak out.
‘It got to the point where I was emotionally checked out,’ he admitted. ‘I just thought, this isn’t going to work.’
