The feud between Married at First Sight co-stars Brent Vitiello and Daniel Holmes took an ugly turn on Friday.
Scheduled to compete in the ring on Saturday for a celebrity boxing match at the Melbourne Pavilion, the two went head-to-head during their pre-bout weigh-in.
After a few heated words were exchanged between the two, things got physical as Brent grabbed Daniel by the neck with both hands before violently pushing him away.

Daniel, 31, managed to stay on his feet as he took the heavy contact in his stride and let out a loud laugh.
Meanwhile, Brent, 34, who is a hospitality specialist, bared his teeth and appeared to be very angry.
Daniel later posted a video of the horrifying incident on his Instagram.
Friends and followers of Daniel, a personal trainer, were quick to support the former MAFS star.

“Brent’s ego is almost as soft as his voice box. You got this Daniel,” a friend posted on the story.
Another noted the difference in height between the opponents, with Daniel towering over the much shorter Brent and writing: ‘He can’t even grip your head well, he had to stand on his tippy toes.’
It comes after weeks of online chatter between the former MAFS stars, which came to light last month when Daniel posted a fake “death notice” for Brent to promote their boxing clash.

On Friday, Brent revealed to the So dramatic! website what he said to Daniel during the weigh-in.
“Well, all that gossip and disrespect comes at a price,” he said.
“I told him he can’t hide behind his keyboard anymore… he has no moral compass and will pay for it.”
Daniel, also interviewed by So Dramatic! said he had said to Brent before their altercation, “Bro, one, I didn’t even say things online… and two, who uses keyboards? It’s called a telephone.’
Hosted by Team Ellis Promotions, the ‘Fight At First Sight’ boxing match will feature rival MAFS grooms Brent and Daniel.

During the event, Jackson Lonie will also fight against Sam Cararro, who appeared in the season last year.
Mitch Leek, Tommy Fitzgerald, Australian footballer Clay Smith and Alejandro Nemi are also preparing to enter the ring.
Daniel appeared in season nine of Married At First Sight, where he was paired with Carolina Santos, but the couple have since split up.
