As reported by Sky News on February 28, NSW Police confirmed an official investigation had been launched into the marriage experiment as a result.
However, government regulatory body Safework NSW has confirmed to So Dramatic! that they’ve opened a separate investigation into MAFS and the show’s production company, Endemol Shine Australia.
