A former Married At First Sight star has admitted to breaking the law by breaching Covid-19 directions.
Stacey Lee Hampton, 27, appeared for a closed hearing in the Adelaide Magistrates Court last week where she pleaded guilty to the charge against her.
The reality TV personality, from Ingle Farm, escaped conviction for one count but was fined $1000 and will need to pay court fees.
The total amount of $1676 must be paid by mid-July.
The other two counts against her for the same charge were dropped.
Ms Hampton was charged with three counts of breaching Covid-19 directions in April 2020 after going on an interstate shopping trip when she should have been self-isolating.
The mother-of-two was arrested at Adelaide Airport on May 6 last year after returning home from Melbourne.
At the time, only essential travellers were exempt from quarantine, but non-essential travellers needed to isolate for two weeks.
She also left her home and visited the suburbs of Hackney, Gawler East and Ingle Farm.
Ms Hampton shot to fame after she appeared on the Nine Network’s hit show in 2020.
On the program, she was matched with Michael Goonan, but the pair later split.
