Oh dear! Dean Wells’ career as an Instagram influencer may have reached a new low after a ‘leaked’ email supposedly revealed his attempts at dining for free at a Melbourne restaurant
An embarrassing email, which appears to have been sent by a representative on behalf of Dean to an unnamed restaurant, was published on Instagram by The Australian’s restaurant critic John Lethlean on Tuesday.
‘I hope this finds you well. I just wanted to touch base regarding our client, Married At First Sight star Dean Wells, who is looking to wine and dine in the city of Melbourne on the 18th of August,’ read the email.
‘I thought this could be a good opportunity for them to attend your restaurant, as Dean has over 80K followers across his Instagram. In return for looking after the two on this special occasion, we can offer Social Media posts and mentions.
‘Please let me know if this is of interest.’
Mr Lethlean captioned his post, ‘Grasping At First Sight, a new reality series. Please consider #CouscousForComment.’

The hashtag was seemingly a reference to the infamous ‘cash for comment’ affair that engulfed broadcasters Alan Jones and John Laws.
In 1999, ABC’s Media Watch revealed that Jones and Laws had been paid to give favourable comment to companies including Qantas, Optus and major Australian banks, on their programs without disclosing this arrangement to listeners.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Dean Wells’ representatives at Stage Addiction for comment and clarification.

‘I had a lot of big plans and dreams for my life and because of the situation, with Patrick [Kedemos, her ex-boyfriend] and the trolls, no-one wants to touch me, no-one will employ me.’
She added: ‘My parents are financially helping me right now. [They] are funding my bills. They are in their mid-seventies and they don’t need their 35-year-old daughter being a financial or emotional burden.’
Meanwhile, the struggling businesswoman has recently enrolled in a post-graduate university course in marketing to improve her career prospects.

In the last few weeks, all of Tracey’s business plans fell apart amid a blaze of negative publicity. Meanwhile, her relationship with businessman Patrick, 45, also came to an abrupt end following and explosive row in Berlin.
She had a mental breakdown in the days after her Patrick, 45, dumped her and left her ‘stranded’ while they were travelling across Europe – and even attempted suicide.
‘I went into a head spin and I overdosed. I just couldn’t see a way out of the current situation,’ she confessed.

‘I’ve been trolled and cyber bullied relentlessly, pretty much all year [since MAFS]. I’m not someone with a history of depression, but I started getting help in April because a psychologist said I might have post-traumatic stress disorder because of everything I’d been through.’
Eventually, Patrick gave Tracey money to pay for a flight back to Australia.
Following her return to Perth on August 3, Tracey was admitted to a mental health clinic. She said: ‘[My doctors] thought the best thing I could do was to have care to get better as quickly as possible.’
The entrepreneur is believed to be currently living at her adoptive mother Jenny’s house in Perth and is taking an extended break from social media.
