Married At First Sight’s Ashley Irvin has revealed her shocking link to Paul Lambert, the man shot and killed by police in 2016 after a horrific assault on another woman.
The 28-year-old flight attendant told News Corp on Sunday that she dated the 36-year-old just months before he stabbed his Tinder girlfriend 11 times before dousing her in petrol.
After matching with Lambert on the dating app, fellow Brisbane resident Irvin agreed to meet with him in person and she said that while he seemed keen, there were no obvious red flags.

‘The scariest thing would be I never got any red flags, none… I didn’t get any sick feeling in my stomach — he was a normal guy,’ she said.
‘He’s the type of guy to send four messages to your one [message]. I’m not a good texter so he used to call quite a bit.’
In November 2016, months after dating Lambert, Irvin’s jaw dropped when she watched a news bulletin about him.
