Photos have surfaced of Married At First Sight star Tayla Winter partying at Travers ‘The Candyman’ Beynon’s wild Australia Day house party.
The Hobart nurse was one of hundreds of scantily clad women invited to celebrate January 26 with the polyamorous tobacco tycoon at his Gold Coast mansion.
The images emerged after Tayla, 27, sensationally vowed to quit the Nine show this week because she couldn’t stand her husband Hugo Armstrong – only to surprise everyone by returning at Wednesday’s dinner party.
The pictures, taken by a Daily Mail Australia reporter who attended the party, show Tayla flirting with a mystery man by the pool before exchanging numbers with him.
The pair was seen dancing and hugging as they made plans to meet up privately after the party.

Tayla was later pictured kissing another shirtless man on the cheek, and also posed for a snap with party host Travers, who owns the Freechoice chain of tobacconists.
She looked stylish for the occasion in a red and pink floral skirt and matching crop top, and wore her long blonde hair loosely over her shoulders.
The photos will no doubt rock Tayla’s MAFS husband Hugo to the core, as she has steadfastly refused any form of physical contact with him during the experiment.

Days ago, Hugo opened up about his tumultuous marriage to Tayla, who abandoned the experiment after the couples’ retreat and fled to Hobart.
The IT account executive, 32, told Today Extra on Thursday his wife came across as ‘disingenuous’ and may not have been on the show for the right reasons.
‘I have zero clue why Tayla did half the things she did during our time in the experiment. It was all quite a lot and quite confusing for me,’ he told co-hosts David Campbell and Sylvia Jeffreys.

Hugo added: ‘It was largely mixed messaging. If you say someone isn’t your type and you put in zero effort from day one, and then you flee back to Tasmania and return to say you wish to give the experiment a go!’
He said Tayla’s constant toing and froing about whether she should stay on the show ‘came across as disingenuous and perhaps she wanted to remain in the spotlight as opposed to find a meaningful connection’.
He spoke out after Tayla made a surprise entrance at the MAFS dinner party on Wednesday – despite having days earlier said she was done with the experiment and wanted to return to Tassie.

Upon her arrival, she pulled Hugo aside and told him she wanted to give their relationship another go.
This floored her husband because she had spent their entire marriage insulting him, rejecting him and complaining about him to the other brides.
In a stunningly arrogant tirade, she blamed Hugo for the problems in their relationship, accusing him of ‘shutting me out’ and ‘letting me down’.
‘[But] I will give this a go. I believe everyone deserves second chances if their heart is in the right place,’ she added.
A dumbfounded Hugo couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

‘I don’t understand. My wheels are spinning on so much of what she just said. I honestly don’t know how to feel,’ he told producers.
Tayla slammed her husband for how he treated her during the couples’ retreat, but he was was having absolutely none of it.
He didn’t want to give things another go, having already accepted Tayla had left the experiment, and tried to let her down gently.
Hugo opened up about his tumultuous marriage to Tayla on Today Extra last Thursday, saying she came across as ‘disingenuous’ and may not have been on the show for the right reasons
‘Individually, we are both great people. You are one of the strongest, fiercest people I have ever met,’ he said.
‘You are going to be awesome when you find the person you connect with, but we both know that isn’t me,’ he added.
Married At First Sight continues Sunday at 7pm on Channel Nine and 9Now
