Married At First Sight star shares terrifying footage from Dubai apartment amid missile attacks: ‘I’ve just heard about 20 explosions’
Mikey Pembroke has shared terrifying footage as air strikes rain down on his Dubai apartment.
The Sydney-based former reality star, who appeared on the seventh season of Married At First Sight, relocated to the region last year, where he works in high-end real estate.
‘All right guys, so I can confirm that Dubai has been hit. I’ve just heard about 20 explosions above my apartment building,’ the 34-year-old said in a video shared to Instagram Stories on Sunday.
‘The Palm – which is an exclusive area of Dubai – has been hit. There’s been like 20 explosions.
‘I think they’re missiles being intercepted above where I’m staying. So … I don’t know what’s going on.’
Pembroke shared footage of buildings on fire nearby and explained that he had seen a missile flying, ‘literally next to me.’

The former television groom was paired with Natasha Spencer on the reality dating series in 2020.
Afterwards, he admitted to struggling with alcohol before turning his life around and moving to Dubai to work as a real estate agent.
‘This city is nothing short of spectacular – not only from an investment perspective but also for its unmatched quality of life, innovation, and the incredible things happening here every single day,’ he said in November.
Also in the region is Stephanie Rice, who has issued an urgent plea after her new home of Dubai was hit by Iranian attacks in retaliation for US air strikes.
The three-time Olympic gold medallist took to Instagram after the city’s famous Burj Al-Arab hotel was reportedly hit by an Iranian suicide drone in an attack that left the building ablaze.
Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah hotel was also hit by a suicide drone attack, leaving four people hurt, with the Dubai International Airport evacuated after reports that it was targeted by an Iranian UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle).
‘Please help me in praying for all my friends, loved ones and people in the UAE that they would be protected and feel a tangible sense of God’s peace in this scary situation,’ Rice wrote on her Instagram post, which also featured a statement from the Australian embassy in the United Arab Emirates.
That statement read: ‘A message to all Australians in the United Arab Emirates: The UAE Government has confirmed that the UAE has been the subject of missile attacks from Iran.

‘In a statement, the UAE Ministry of Defence said it was responding to the threat, and has successfully intercepted a number of incoming missiles.
‘However, the situation remains serious, and one civilian casualty has been confirmed.’
Rice, 37, moved to Dubai in November 2023.
She met her husband, pastor Mark Lassey, soon after relocating to the city of four million.
On Sunday morning, Australian time, footage showed the five-star Burj Al-Arab hotel ablaze, with Dubai authorities saying debris from an intercepted drone caused the fire.
Nearby, Palm Jumeirah was hit by a suicide drone launched from Iran hours after US and Israeli air strikes hit Tehran.
The Dubai media office confirmed four people were injured in the strikes on the hotel, which is popular among Western tourists, with witnesses saying ambulances had rushed to the scene.
Suicide drones also attacked residential skyscrapers in Bahrain, with missiles launched from Iran hitting US bases in Qatar, Kuwait and Abu Dhabi.
