The incident caused much outrage among fellow contestants on the reality show as the drama unfolded during a dinner party scene on the Channel 9 reality show.

“I don’t think anyone deserves that to be honest with you, as much as I despise Hayley,” Goonan said.

Cannon claimed his “mates have done worse to me” and that in “practical jokes there is no limit”.

“That is not a joke that anyone I know would play, he needs to apologise for that.” teacher Mishel Karen said. “That is too far.”

Played the video, the show’s relationship experts were also outraged.

“That is disgusting,” Mel Schilling said. “That could make her very sick. What David has done here is inexcusable. I don’t think we’ve seen behaviour like this in the history of the experiment.”

John Aiken added: “I don’t know that we’ve seen a dinner party unravel to this level before. Psychologically we know revenge can be strong. This type of overwhelming emotion comes from a place of hurt but you just can’t express that type of anger in that way to others. Frankly it is just not acceptable. It is personal, it is brutal.”
