It was Englishman Danny who was tying the knot on Married At First Sight but all eyes were on his suspiciously familiar best man Will.

Even Danny's new bride Bec recognised him.

"Has anyone ever told you you look like Channing Tatum? Have you seen that stripper that's making heaps of money?" she asked best man Will.

Who is Will Parfitt?

The 34-year-old first built a following online thanks to his uncanny resemblance to American actor Channing Tatum.

He started out on social media doing lip syncing videos and soon started to grow an audience. Now, Will has a combined social media following over 12 million.

Now he's an owner and entertainer of Magic Men Australia, the biggest male revue show in the country. Perhaps you've seen Will at a hen's night?

English born, Will and Danny first came out to Australia as backpackers in 2012.

So just how did Will get his start as an entertainer?

On his YouTube channel Will detailed: "I bumped into a club promoter on a drunken night out here in Melbourne.

"He kept introducing me to all his friends as Channing or as Channing's little English cousin."

From there he joined Magic Men and his popularity catapulted over the years and now he is part owner.

Will didn't go unnoticed at Bec and best mate Danny's wedding for very long.

As Bec's bridesmaids walked down the aisle and took their seat, the penny dropped.

"The guy sitting in the front row. He's a stripper I'm pretty sure. I think," she whispered to the next bridesmaid over.

When Bec got to the altar she recognised Will too, but things took a turn when Bec outed the best man for sleeping with her friend a few nights before.

"I heard you didn't ring her after," Bec teased Will.

Maybe he would've rather that bit stay quiet.  Nine

Everyone was quick to laugh it off and like Will said, the most important thing was that he didn't recognise Bec.

What was music to Bec's dad's ears was that his new son-in-law wasn't an entertainer like his best man.

Married At First Sight airs Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
