Her almost constant lip-licking has driven viewers to distraction on social media.

And amid speculation it could be due to cosmetic work, Married At First Sight’s Tracey Jewel has come clean on why she so often lubricates her lips.

Speaking to Nova 100’s Chrissie, Sam & Browny on Friday, the 34-year-old also confessed she had only been made aware of the habit since appearing on television.

Tracey denied speculation her compulsive licking was the result of having plastic surgery to make her pout look bigger by using an inner part of the lips.

Instead, the self-styled relationship expert put it down to the stress of Married At First Sight and ‘husband’ Dean Wells’ behaviour. 

‘I’m aware of it now. I think it’s because I’m nervous, I think it’s a nervous tic,’ she revealed.

 ‘I’m always put under the pressure, it’s me trying to process what is going on.’

Tracey has been open about getting cosmetic work done in the past, previously going under the knife for a breast augmentation.

In addition, she has also gotten lip fillers and underwent 18 months worth of ‘reshaping’ at a Perth cosmetic clinic prior to appearing on Married At First Sight.

Well that explains it! If Tracey's lip licking was driven by stress, it would certainly make sense given her and Dean's rocky romance

‘Reshaping is just filler and skin tightening, skin rejuv are peels and vampire facials,’ Tracey told Daily Mail Australia last month.

‘Dr J at Aphrodite I’ve been seeing for last two years and they’ve done a great job with my Botox and lip filler!’ 

Despite fan speculation she has had work done to her teeth, nose and chin, Tracey said those rumours were false.
