Married at First Sight star Arthur Poremba is no stranger to wearing a wedding ring – he’s done it before.
MailOnline can exclusively reveal that eight years before he was matched with bride Laura Vaughn on the Channel 4 hit show, the tennis coach played a cheating groom in a steamy music video in 2015.
On screen in Twisted Pleasure – a tune by the singer Avelyn – the toned reality star, who plays Dean, lures a beautiful blonde woman he meets in a bar upstairs for some kissing before attempting to blindfold her.
But to his surprise, Alice – played by Swedish actress Ronya Wahlström – shackles bare-chested Arthur to a wall with handcuffs and straddles him for a passionate smooch.
But then she steals his wedding ring and walks out, leaving him confused and bewildered.
There he is: Married at First Sight star Arthur Poremba is no stranger to wearing a wedding ring – he’s done it before
Wow! MailOnline can exclusively reveal that eight years before he was matched with bride Laura Vaughn on the Channel 4 hit show, the tennis coach played a cheating groom in a steamy music video in 2015
Fresh-faced Arthur would have been 27 in the video, and apart from the missing ring, he’s also missing the tattoos he proudly showed off in series eight.
The final twist in the sexy scenes is when Arthur’s co-actress reveals her collection of wedding rings hanging from her necklace.
And it’s not the first time the six foot MAFS Polish hunk has been ditched.
Viewers were shocked when MAFS UK Laura ended her relationship with Arthur at their vow renewal ceremony this week.
Arthur, 35, looked visibly upset and disappointed during Monday night’s show after expressing a desire to continue their relationship.
Laura, 34, a finance manager from Hampshire, didn’t mince her words.
She said: ‘I know we’ve grown as individuals in this process, but the more I grow as a person the more I grow apart from you.
‘I’ve always been a fixer, but I’ve realised this relationship is something that can’t be fixed.’

‘You helped me realise what I don’t want and I’m going to give you this [wedding ring] back, but thank you for making me realise who I am.
‘You’ll be perfect for someone, but it won’t be me.’
Arthur took to Instagram this week to say: ‘Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.
‘Thank you for what’s probably going to be one of the best experiences of my humble life.
‘This journey has taught me a few things. I’ve learnt that it’s ok not to be ok, you don’t always have to pretend that you’re the strongest person alive, it’s ok to be vulnerable at times and show your feelings and emotions when needed.’
He added: ‘Thank all the crew and cast members but most importantly Laura for putting up with me behind closed doors. I’ve said and done so many things that didn’t even make the edit!’
The TV couple had a rollercoaster relationship during the wedding experiment dealing with criticism from Laura’s friends and fellow brides and grooms questioning their compatibility.
After the dramatic final dinner party aired on Wednesday, Laura wrote on Instagram.

Harsh: Laura said: ‘I know we’ve grown as individuals in this process, but the more I grow as a person the more I grow apart from you’
She said: ‘I meant what I said, Arthur is perfect for someone. I say that with sincerity and all the love my little heart can muster.
‘No one will know our relationship behind closed doors, but what I do know, is that life has taught me time and time again to always choose you, for you. There’s no shame in that, it’s not selfish, it’s necessary.’
Arthur replied to her post: ‘I’m not a saint everyone, even tho they’ve made me look like one! Laura’s decision was made based by my behaviour throughout the show, loads of it didn’t even make the edit!
‘Ultimately that was the right decision for both of us,I’m far from perfect but I’m trying ❤️.’
