Married At First Sight contestants are still trying to ride their 15 minutes of fame, this time ­attempting to blag their way into free holidays in return for posts to their meagre ­followings.

Tamara Joy, real last name Laing, from the most recent season of MAFS, and Samuel Levi from MAFS New Zealand have been ­busted sending travel bodies emails requesting free holidays.

Confidential has obtained one of these emails, which is sent from Levi’s media ­agency SL Media Co and promises the duo “can offer so much together”.

The email, which is ridd­led with errors, begins “I would like to be in touch on behalf of TV Personality’s Samuel Levi & Tamara Joy.”

Some of the other key ­errors include multiple ­incorrect usages of there/their, spelling Australasia “Australisia” and, ironically, even spelling collaborate ­incorrectly.

This is the letter, riddled with mistakes, being sent around by Levi’s media agency.

It goes on to boast about their “large and wide” ­social media followings of more than 250,000 followers ­(although not sure where the math is — Joy has 171k on Instagram and Levi has 54k) that would hit the perfect demographic for the travel company and “spread awareness”.

The email finishes up by saying that essentially, the pair just want to travel together.

“Would love to know your thoughts, on getting the pair in to experience a trip together … as the pair would love to visit and ­experience this part of Australia, and do it together.”

Joy, who is currently in Bali where she has checked in to a number of Balinese ­accommodations, said the trips are not part of an ­agreement.

She has also tagged a cosmetics company, bikini brand and hair extensions company in her posts, which are mainly comprised of nearly naked photos.

Levi’s executive assistant Debbie Zelcer responded to Confidential’s request for comment saying: “Brands have reached out to him, and we have also reached out to some that would be a great alignment, and ones more on par with his following, which is why this enquiry has maybe come around.”
