Dan Webb, from the sixth season of Married At First Sight Australia (which everyone currently seems to be watching in the UK), has been charged with fraud. According to New Zealand reports, the 36-year-old has appeared in court over the charges, connected to a multi-million dollar telemarketing scam which, the prosecution argues, raked in about A$24 million.

Yep. Yikes.

The former reality star is one of 11 people facing charges, with others also facing money laundering charges. Police started investigating the alleged cold-calling scam in 2013 and about 500 people are listed on the witness list for a trial. The committal hearing started in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday, with about 35 witnesses due to take the stand.

Dan - a car broker - is currently creating controversy on the series, which is being aired in the UK on E4, as Jessika is cheating on her partner, Mick, with him, while Dan was originally married to Tamara. Read on below to find out whether that romance worked out.

Sam Ball and Elizabeth Sobinoff

Sam and Elizabeth might not have lasted, as Sam seemed far more interested in Ines. But Lizzie was the true winner - she was so popular with viewers she appeared on the next series of the show, finding love with Seb Guilhaus. But, sadly, they split earlier this month after a year together.

Cyrell Jimenez and Nic Jovanovic

'Cyclone Cyrell' and Nic's tumultuous relationship was, sadly, not to last. But prepare for another reality TV crossover, as Cyrell now has a baby with Love Island runner-up Eden Dally, and Nic has just been praised for posting a sweet tribute to his ex.

Lauren Huntriss and Matthew Bennett

One of the biggest storylines this season was about Matthew and his virginity, as he was repeatedly labelled as 'virgin'/'ex-virgin' Matt by the narrator. Anyway, Matthew was matched with Lauren - who, yes, he lost his virginity to - but it all went horribly wrong when Lauren heard Matthew telling the other guys at dinner that he wasn't sexually attracted to Lauren. AWKWARD. Lauren is still a make-up artist, we don't know if she's dating anyone. But on the other hand, self-confessed fitness enthusiast Matthew is loved up with a new girlfriend - who he met at a wrestling tryout.

Mike Gunner and Heidi Latcham

Mike and Heidi's relationship was one which could have gone either way, but after the show, the pair split - announcing the sad news at the post-finale reunion special. 'Right after the final vows, Heidi and I went back to the Gold Coast together but it didn't take long and the wheels started coming off,' Mike explained. Heidi has said she hasn't spoken to her former husband since. From the looks of their Instagram pages, they still look single.

Cam Merchant and Jules Robinson

Oh, Cameron and Jules. From the minute Jules and Cam had their first wedding dance without any music, we had an inkling they were in it for the long haul. And we were right! The pair now have a baby together, who was born in October last year, and tied the knot properly after the show. So, yes - sometimes this wild experiment does work.

Melissa Lucarelli and Dino Hira

Probably the worst matched couple on the series, it isn't shock the pair called it quits on the show after Dino allegedly recorded a conversation Melissa was having with her sister about the wedding day. It appears both are still single.

Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli

Martha and Michael were an extremely drama free pair (in comparison to everyone else) so it's no shock that they have actually managed to stay together. Yay!

Ning Surasiang and Mark Scrivens

Eek. Another very up and down pair, Ning and Mark's relationship dissolved during the final commitment ceremony - with Mark dumping Ning, much to her shock. Following the show, Mark moved on with another former reality star, Bianca Chatfield – who appeared on home renovation show The Block. Ning also has a new partner, and has become a grandmother aged 35: her daughter has just given birth!

Susie Bradley and Billy Vincent

Susie and Billy were one of the couples who married later in the experiment. From the get go, Susie kept on calling Billy awkward - even calling him a deeb at one point on their honeymoon. They split before the final commitment ceremony. Susie is now dating former rugby pro Todd Carney and they have a baby on the way. However, Billy appears to be single.

Ines Basic and Bronson Norrish

We knew this relationship wasn't going to last from the moment Ines asked Bronson to take out his eyebrow ring. Ines went on to have an affair with Sam, which Sam has since claimed was faked by producers, and it all came out during an explosive commitment ceremony. Bronson is now a lot happier with girlfriend Hayley Wallis. And from her Instagram, Ines looks to be single at the moment.

Jessika Power and Mick Gould

Major cracks started to show in Mick and Jessika's relationship, then Jessika went after one of the newly weds, Dan. Not a shock that Jessica and Mick didn't survive then…(Neither did her affair with Dan, btw.)
