Ollie Was “Terrified” That This Secret Photo Would Be Leaked During ‘MAFS’
Ollie Skelton and Tahnee Cook had the smoothest ride on MAFS this year, with the “Gen-Z lovers” seemingly matched perfectly by the experts. Since the show aired, they’ve gone on to move in together in Sydney and do what every ex-MAFSer is morally obliged to do: start their own podcasts.
While the couple seemed solid from the outside, there was a photo of the groom that would’ve completely changed public perception if it was to ever see the light of day.
Speaking on his podcast Tosser, Ollie said the sticky situation took place when he attended a bucks party for one of his mates. This particular incident happened after the show had wrapped up, but before MAFS had started airing on Channel Nine.

Apparently, the reality TV star had a few too many bevvies during the celebration, so he went and had a little lie down in another room.
“The adult entertainment – the barmaids – their bags were [in that room],” he said, adding that his friends “tipped [the barmaids] off”, so the entertainers came in and took a photo with Ollie while he was asleep. He was mortified when one of his friends sent the snap in their group chat the next morning.
“Having to tell Tahnee this was very difficult, because it sounds incredibly suspect… you have to think about the optics here. They are taking it lying on a bed,” he said.
Before you jump to conclusions, Ollie was completely clothed and it was an innocent photo. However, Ollie admits that the snap was “not great” and he immediately began talking to the Channel 9 PR team to get ahead of the scandal.
“[The PR team were] like, it’s coming out. It’s gonna come out,” he said.

Ollie contacted the adult entertainment company to make sure that their employees had deleted the photo, but that didn’t keep all his fears at bay. He expected it to appear in an article one day, saying that the thought of that was “terrifying”.
But it seems to give himself a truly peaceful night’s sleep, he’s gone and outed himself – breaking the news on his own podcast. I kinda get the logic, but can’t help but think that now he’s just baited everyone to find this picture and share it around.
Fingers crossed it ends here and we never lay eyes on the photo.
