Brett Helling's relationship with Booka Nile has been on shaky ground on Married At First Sight. 

So it's no surprise the 31-year-old did his best to escape the prying eyes of cameras during a break filming the Channel Nine dating experiment.

Daily Mail Australia spotted Brett looking less than impressed as he returned to his Sydney apartment after a long day of filming.

The Melbourne based electrician covered his face with a button up shirt as he strutted across the road. 

He was joined by two producers, with one of them carrying a boom microphone while the other carried a clipboard.

According to an eyewitness Brett appeared to be tense and was extremely frustrated when he noticed photographers waiting at his hotel. 

Brett's bizarre sighting comes after he wore an Ansett Australia Test Series bucket hat on the Channel Nine reality show - and it sent fans into a frenzy. 

In a stranger coincidence, he also sported the exact same shirt in the scene that he draped over his head on the streets of Sydney.

'Brett's terry towelling is world class,' commented one viewer.  

'All other feedback aside, this is a solid throwback hat!' added Nova 96.9 newsreader Matt de Groot. 

And the compliments kept coming.  

'Brett's Ansett Australia Test Series hat is the bomb!' said yet another fan. 

Another chimed: 'I haven't seen a terry towelling hat in forever!!! How good!!'

Brett is currently married to Perth-based musician Booka Nile on the popular Channel Nine experiment. 

Married At First Sight continues Monday at 7.30pm on Nine
