Exclusive: Bachelor's Noni Janur defends MAFS pal Davina Rankin

Former The Bachelor Australia star Noni Janur has defended pal Davina Rankin, who has attracted a wave of viewer backlash following her cheating scandal on Married At First Sight.

Speaking to Be, Noni said she understands fans become 'very involved' in a series likeMAFS, but that they may not be seeing the full Davina and Dean story on screen due to 'editing'.

"She’s getting a really bad rep," Noni said of Davina while attending the UnReal Season Three premiere in Sydney on Friday night.

"Obviously with reality TV people get very involved, [but] they don’t really know that person or how the show’s been edited," she added.

Davina has made headlines as of late, after she and fellow contestant Dean decided to pursue a brief romance, behind their actual TV partners' backs.

Dean then turned around in the next commitment ceremony, coming clean on his affair and deciding to stay with TV wife Tracey.

A heartbroken Davina was left feeling betrayed, and is now trying harder than ever to win back her original TV husband, Ryan.
