It was the match no one saw coming.
My Kitchen Rules star Mel Bailey was spotted looking very cosy with TikTok heartthrob Tyson Fievez during FHM’s star-studded Halloween bash in Sydney on Thursday night.
Exclusive photos obtained by Daily Mail show Mel, 34, leaning in close to the tattooed influencer as the pair shared a cheeky kiss while seated together in the VIP area.
Tyson, who is in his twenties and went viral earlier this year for standing up Married At First Sight bride Jamie Marinos on air, looked thrilled to be spending the night with the bubbly blonde.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other throughout the evening, with Mel – dressed in a figure-hugging black mini dress and devil horns – seen giggling and whispering into Tyson’s ear between drinks.
Tyson kept things casual yet cheeky in a red Baywatch-themed outfit that showed off his extensive leg tattoos, completing his look with a grey cap.

At one point, Mel wrapped her arm around his neck as they shared a tender moment on the couch, red cups in hand, before being joined by friends.
The sighting has sent fans into a frenzy online, given Tyson’s recent flirtations with Jamie.
Earlier this year, Jamie and Tyson were spotted together in Melbourne after their infamous ‘ghosting’ incident aired, with the blonde beauty even referring to him as ‘my baby’ on Instagram.
However, it appears Tyson may have moved on – and Mel, known for her fiery personality and fun-loving nature on My Kitchen Rules, seems to be the lucky lady catching his attention.
FHM’s Halloween event attracted a who’s who of reality TV, with stars from MAFS, The Bachelor, Love Island, and My Kitchen Rules turning out to celebrate the magazine’s ‘Woman of the Year’ issue at The Rawson.
But it was Mel and Tyson’s flirty display that had everyone talking long after the party wrapped up.
‘Mel looked absolutely smitten – they didn’t care who was watching,’ said one onlooker. ‘There was a lot of chemistry.’
Neither Mel nor Tyson has commented publicly on their cosy encounter.

In a series of flirty Instagram Stories earlier this year, MAFS star Jamie posed arm-in-arm with the Melbourne-based influencer, beaming as he affectionately referred to her as ‘my baby’.
The pair looked completely at ease with one another, with Jamie stunning in a plunging black jumpsuit and thigh-high boots while Tyson kept it casual in an oversized tee, cap and camo parachute pants.
In another cheeky video, Jamie playfully introduced Tyson to her followers with the caption: ‘The guy who stood me up’.
Speaking to Daily Mail after their surprise reunion, Tyson finally broke his silence on why he bailed on their original meeting during filming – and it seems there are no hard feelings between them.
‘She’s an amazing chick, with a bubbly energy! Definitely a vibe to be around,’ Tyson gushed.
‘Honestly I had no bad intentions standing her up first time round. Just didn’t wanna intrude on her previous marriage with David,’ he explained.
‘Guess you’ll have too wait and see if romance develops!’ he added with a wink.
Fans were quick to flood social media with support for the unlikely duo, with many now shipping them as a post-show couple.

‘They actually look so cute together,’ one person commented.Â
‘She dodged a bullet with Dave – this is the match we were robbed of!’ another declared.
Jamie was left visibly disappointed on-air after being ghosted during the ‘most f**ked up challenge’ of the season, as she waited alone at a Sydney restaurant with a glass of white wine.Â
The popular bride was left humiliated after she bravely agreed to meet her alternative match – only to be left hanging when her ‘Plan B’ ghosted her at the last second.
In a light-hearted yet emotional moment, Jamie told producers: ‘I’m a nosey b***h, I love to know these things… So curious!’
‘I had more than one match? I’m actually surprised there was one match. Now, there’s more? I’m unmatchable!’
Later that evening, when her TV husband Dave returned, Jamie confessed she had accepted the challenge – only to be stood up ‘for the first time ever’.
Dave, who had declined his own offer to meet a potential second match, was surprisingly supportive.
‘We’re in a marriage here. I trust her… but I’m glad she got stood up,’ he laughed in a vox pop.
