Former Married At First Sight star Mikey Pembroke celebrates 10 weeks without alcohol

He’s been vocal about being on a health and fitness kick since starring on Married At First Sight’s seventh season in 2020.

And on Thursday, Mikey Pembroke celebrated his sobriety, after making the decision to cut out alcohol from his life on December 20.

‘Life is about showing up and having a f**king go!! 10 weeks no drinks complete!’ he captioned a post to his Instagram.

He continued: ‘Did 75 days which started on December 20 and pushed through the holiday period up until last week!  

In the accompanying image, Mikey is seen wearing a stark white bathrobe at what appears to be an ‘exclusive’ hotel in Sydney.

The former reality star appears to be living his best life in front of a mouth-watering feast of chips, steak and dumplings. 

There is also a bottle of Champagne on ice – and what appears to be an espresso martini within arm’s reach. 

Mikey told Daily Mail Australia his 10-week ‘hard challenge’ was to start the new year off on the right foot. 

The Aged Care Operations Manager said it was done off the back of work being ‘full on’ and what was happening with his family in Sydney during the COVID-19 pandemic.

‘Half my family was in lock down on the beaches so I thought I would just go with a hard challenge and do 10 weeks sober,’ he said. 

‘Last yer was so full on – MAFS, COVID, aged care, family’s business – and I struggled to find balance so wanted to start 2021 on the right way!’

Also being ‘very single’ at the moment, Mikey added he wanted to do the challenge to focus on himself.

‘I don’t plan on ever going completely sober but restoring balance after a turbulent 2020,’ he said. ‘Won’t be drinking as much thought as I prioritise my health and fitness, and prepare for a another season off footy.

‘Needed to do it for my mental health too. Main challenges were to prioritise sleep, nutrition, training, nature walks, time with close family and friends.’

In April 2020, Mikey revealed he was on a mission to get his six-pack back – starting  a six week cleanse, consisting of no alcoholic beverages or junk food.

He told Daily Mail Australia he endured between eight to 10 workout sessions a week, and completed 10,000 steps (roughly 8km) per day. 

‘To be honest with you my life has been all over the place since around September with the show, work, travel and publicity commitments,’ he said. 

‘It’s been really hard to get structure and routine back in my life, so my training has been all over the place, but it’s something I enjoy so I find the time.’

Married At First Sight continues Sunday at 7pm on Channel Nine
