Dave reveals what Veronica was *really* like during MAFS and it’s very insightful

It seems he learned a lot about her during partner swap week


Dave Hand has spilled all about what Veronica Cloherty was really like during MAFS Australia 2025. Veronica has been an *interesting* character to say the least, diving opinions with how she’s behaved around partner Eliot, and the rest of the group.

During partner swap week, Dave and Veronica were paired up and made to live together. And now, Dave has shared all about what Veronica was really like behind the closed doors of the MAFS Australia apartments. He spoke out about if she is really as “difficult” as has been made out during the experiment.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, he said: “I think Veronica’s great. I think this is a really hard… it’s a big TV show to be put on display like this.” He explained the pressures of reality TV can skew public perception, and hinted we might not have been seeing all of her personality. He called out the highly edited episodes.

Dave added: “You’ve seen how we got along, and I thought… it makes you really think. I think that her edit is getting chopped and changed, and it must be really rough for her to go through what she’s going through at the moment.

“Veronica’s a lot of fun, and so is Eliot. You get to see Eliot come out of his shell as well, and he’s quite funny actually. It was good to see Veronica and Eliot have fun, and they’re great.”

Dave later called Veronica “pretty easy going” and said it isn’t true that she’s “not very chill” with Eliot. So, erm, these two seem pretty close?

Despite what Dave might say, it looks as though Veronica has since burnt all bridges with the MAFS cast. She’s quite brutally said she doesn’t associate with anyone from the show now.
