Married at First Sight‘s Steve Burley has been busted impersonating Adolf Hitler in a leaked WhatsApp group message chat.
WATCH: Mishel blindsided as Steve tells his friends he’s not attracted to her
The 51-year-old also sent another photo of himself to friends where he appeared to mock his MAFS bride Mishel Karen, by pulling his eyelids down to look like “an Asian Mishel”.
The shocking images and chat details were obtained by The Daily Telegraph, who reached out to the reality TV star for comment.
“I have no comment to make on that, no comment,” Steve told the publication.
“It was just a bit of fun with some friends I think … with the rest of the group I think.”
The publication reports that hairdresser Steve sent the ‘Hitler’ image in the group chat titled “The Kids” with the question, “Who am I?”.
Steve was then rumbled by another pal who leaked details of a separate group with MAFS contestants titled “Fruitloops & Misfits”, where he sent an image where he uses his fingers to pull his eyelids down to appear “like an Asian Mishel”.
Mishel, 48, is “married” to Steve on the controversial dating show.
Speaking on Steve’s behalf, Channel Nine issued an apology via The Daily Telegraph.
“This is a private message that was never intended to be made public but I can see that it is culturally insensitive and I regret it,” he said in the statement.
“I am deeply sorry if I have offended anyone.”
The shock messages and photos come after weeks of drama between Mishel and Steve.
While Steve’s confession that he wasn’t physically attracted to Mishel made Sunday’s commitment ceremony an especially tense affair for the two.
“It’s like living with somebody and them lying to you the whole time,” said Mishel about it.
“I didn’t want to hurt her feelings, I wanted it to develop naturally and organically,” justified Steve.
