Nova’s Fitzy & Wippa confront Married At First Sight’s Texan groom Andrew Davis

Married At First Sight’s Texan groom Andrew Davis has given a surprise radio interview after fleeing the experiment at Wednesday night’s dinner party.

The controversial 39-year-old motivational speaker raised eyebrows during the series for telling his TV wife Holly she was bad in bed before later revealing he had 350 sexual partners.

He’d largely avoided publicity surrounding the show before dropping several truth bombs on-air this morning.

Speaking on Nova’s Fitzy & Wippa, Andrew – who failed to show up at Sunday night’s commitment ceremony – said he “100 per cent” regrets going on MAFS and revealed which bride he would’ve preferred to have been paired with.

“I left on my terms,” Andrew said. “I think my mental health was greatly damaged during the whole process. I felt like, I think we’re all on the same page that it’s not a good idea for me to be involved with it in any capacity.”

When asked which bride he saw himself better matched with, Andrew said Gold Coast contestant Samantha, 28, was more his style.

“She was cool. But I wasn’t there to meet other girls. I was there to be paired with somebody. And at no point was I thinking about that. But I think Sam was really nice, a lot of the girls were really nice.”

As for his relationship with Holly, Andrew added he has “absolutely not” had any contact with his former bride since they parted ways, before questioning how the MAFS experts thought pairing them was a good idea.

“I don’t see how anybody could be … kind of a relationship expert. You think it takes a lot of experience and being in different types of relationships? So I felt like the pairing was off to begin with,” he said.

“Honestly, when I went on the show I wanted to meet somebody and I was excited about it. I hadn’t had much luck in relationships in the last five to seven years and I was putting it into the hands of somebody, and I genuinely thought I was going to meet somebody I could potentially have a relationship with.”

Despite having no interest in speaking to Holly again, Andrew did admit he said things he “shouldn’t have said” during filming.

Holly and Andrew clashed from the get-go.

“The last dinner ceremony … I felt bad, and I came clean. I said things I shouldn’t have. And I’m proud to say that I least was accountable to what I did say.

“And yeah, I do feel for her. I want her to find somebody that you know that she can develop a relationship with long term, for sure.

“I did my apologies, I tried as hard as I could to apologise to her in her presence. I still have a problem with her not being accountable to anything she says. She found it hard to do that. But I’d be nice to her if I saw her, I have no ill will. I want her to be happy.”

Andrew also revealed he’s moved on with a new partner since filming wrapped - who he earlier dated before the series filmed.

“I have had a partner for quite a while now. Somebody I was with previously that had kinda fell off, and then yeah, it kind of got sparked back up.”

Despite declaring “that’s it for me” with reality TV, Andrew then revealed at least two shows he would be interested in doing.

“I’d probably do SAS or Survivor,” he said.
