We finally know the real reason MAFS' Tracey Jewel licks her lips so damn much.

Forget Dean‘s penchant for twisting the truth, there’s another habit Married At First Sight fans have picked up on as a little frustrating.

Tracey Jewel‘s constant lip licking.

Why was she doing it and was she aware?

“I’m aware of it now,” she told the trio.

“I think it’s because I’m nervous, I think it’s a nervous tic, I’m always put under the pressure, it’s me trying to process what is going on.”

So there you have it – mystery solved.

She’s not the first reality TV contestant to have her tongue-moving habits scrutinised.

In 2016, social media users couldn’t stop speculating about The Bachelor’s Keira Maguire and her teeth licking action.

Former contestant Rachel Moore told Mamamia’s Bach Chat podcast that rather than an “angry tic” she thought it was simply to prevent lipstick on her teeth while she was on camera.

And who said reality TV couldn’t spark deep conversations?

That this is even being discussed is really, really petty and rude.

I wish someone told Tracey to stop the surgeries before she looked like she's does now, even her skin looks traumatised!
