But Gia Fleur wasn't always so confident in her appearance.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, the disability support worker, 35, revealed she was previously a victim of teenage bullying, and underwent multiple cosmetic surgeries over the years to build her self-esteem.
'I was really unhappy with myself. I went through a lot in my younger years, my teenage years. I was obviously insecure and not confident like you see now. I wanted to change things that I wasn't happy with and be more comfortable with myself,' she confessed.
'Internally, I always felt like I'm a different person and I wanted to show that on the outside. I wanted to make my hair blonde. I wanted bigger boobs. All the things that I've done make me, me.'
Gia has splashed around $40,000 on plastic surgery to attain her current appearance, including a $12,000 breast augmentation, $11,000 nose job and a set of veneers worth $10,000.

Yet despite overhauling her appearance, the blonde admitted that joining Married At First Sight made her feel insecure yet again.
'I was fearful going on to the experiment about getting judged wrongly and not being given a chance,' she explained.
'It took me back to when I was bullied in high school. I didn't defend myself when I was younger. I never defended myself. I just took it. I was triggered and I acted accordingly.'

Elsewhere, Gia spoke candidly about her days living in LA and partying at the Playboy Mansion with Hugh Hefner.
'I met a girl who was a Playmate when I was over in LA and she had passes to go to the Playboy Mansion,' she explained.
'Eventually, when I kept coming, Hef put me on the permanent guest list, so me and her went every Sunday.'
'I did a few little online things for the magazine. This was a long time ago. I'm 35 now, but I had a really amazing time.'
It comes after Daily Mail exclusively published photos of Gia inside the Playboy Mansion alongside Hefner.

Wearing a plunging black corset under a cropped denim jacket, Gia smiled next to the Playboy founder during what appeared to be one of his infamous parties.
During her years living in LA, Gia also landed cameos in high-profile music videos, including French Montana featuring Nicki Minaj's 'Freaks' and Gillespie's 'Take Me Back'.
In one scene from Freaks, she can be spotted dancing in a neon-lit club among a group of scantily clad performers, complete with voluminous hair, full glam and a figure-hugging outfit.

With her wedding to Scott McCristal imminent during Tuesday's episode, the feisty disability support worker invited her friends, Brooke and William, to join her as she got ready.
The rowdy pair - who Gia suspected had a few drinks before they turned up - disrupted her wedding preparations, leading to a wild argument.
After Gia screamed the house down, leading to William, whom Gia enlisted as her best man or 'man of honour' for the ceremony, storming off and declaring that his loud-mouth bestie was acting like a 'diva' and was 'no Mariah Carey'.
Fans tuning in at home were on William's side, with many posting their thoughts on social media and insisting that the outspoken sidekick made great television.

She was seen preparing for her upcoming wedding when her close friend William showed up to help in the preparations.
However, Gia did not appear to appreciate his assistance and began furiously telling him off.
'I'm not ready yet, f**k off,' Gia sniped at William, who entered her bedroom as she was getting her makeup done.
Gia then proceeded to tell William off for 'distracting' her during such an important day.
'I have a s**t-ton still to do, stop distracting me. We are really time-crunched, don't p**s me off,' a furious Gia said.

However, William was having none of it and bluntly told Gia: 'Breathe, calm down, don't be a Bridezilla.'
'I was good until you came. Can you just f**k off for five? I'm done, I don't want you in the limo, f**k off,' an emotional Gia ranted.
Gia finally finished preparing and was able to make her way down to the beach to exchange vows with Scott, 33, nicknamed Scotty 'the hottie'.
