There were plenty of things that captured our attention when Married at First Sight couple Mick and Jessika tied the knot in episode two.
From a cringe-worthy best man speech, an internet-breaking brother and some rather opinionated bridesmaids, the pairing’s first meeting was nothing short of explosive.
But there was one other thing we couldn’t get past… Mick’s missing finger.

Let’s be honest, we were all thinking it as he tied the knot with his model match Jessika, and lucky for us Mick is an open book when it comes to the gruesome tale.
Speaking to Nine Honey, the now nine-fingered Mick initially tried to claim a rogue dingo had done the damage while he was on a camping trip.
“I went camping on Fraser Island, and we were cooking up a bit of a feed before going to bed one night,” he joked.
“I had a bit of a sausage in my hand and I fell over and passed out, and one of the dingos came along and bloody chomped on it and bit it.”
Yea, right Mick…
Eventually revealing what actually happened, Mick explained that the incident involved a star picket at his home.
“I was fencing at my house… I’m having a bit of a whack down – as I’ve pulled up [the star picket] started to go a bit so I grabbed it,” he revealed.
“It was like a banana getting hit by a hammer and [shooting] out the sides.”
What a delightful picture he’s painted for us… now pass the bucket!
Watch him explain the ordeal in the video below:
And while his missing finger story is one thing, it seems the Queensland farmer has plenty of golden nuggets from his past to share.
Revealing that he hasn’t had a lot of luck with the ladies in the past, Mick also revealed one very rouge encounter with a potential suitor he met on Tinder.
“I jumped straight back on the Tinder train to look for a Tinderella,” he told Nine Honey.
“I was looking at moving up the Sunny Coast and while I was up there, I thought, ‘I’ll catch up with this bird for coffee’ – you know, two birds one stone… I got to meet her and I’m looking at the photo, looking at her, and the best way I can describe it is in the photo she looked like Jennifer Hawkins, and in real life she looked like Oprah Winfrey.”

And Mick’s mates are also just as candid when it comes to the 31-year-old.
At his drama-filled MAFS wedding, his best mate Broxy delivered what could be the worst groomsman speech in history.
Revealing he’s about to “tell a bit of a story” about Mick, guests hold their breath as Broxy word-vomits a tale that could rival Mick’s dingo yarn.
“We went up to Airlie beach just for a couple of drinks and ah, we’ve drunk the whole bar dry,” he begins.
“Mick’s gone to me, I’m going to take some Viagra. So he’s taken the Viagra as a bit of a gee up. He’s raring at everything but nothin’s coming at him.”
And there’s more as Broxy continues: “Obviously the viagra’s worked and I’m asleep and I’ve woken up and I can hear some noises.”
“Open me eyes and he’s made himself a bloody tent over himself and he’s having a go.”
Yikes, that went from 0 to 100 real quick.We can’t wait to see what other explosive tales are in store from this Queenslander!
