Married At First Sight fever is officially upon us – and the latest crop of brides and grooms might be our best yet!
MUST WATCH! MAFS OFFICIAL TEASER!
Introducing, 2020’s up-and-coming household names and prospective social media ‘influencers’.
SEBASTIAN
Sebastian is a former AFL player-turned-personal trainer who describes himself as an ‘Eccentric Pisces’ and a ‘Try-hard comedian.’
He’s also an aspiring actor. Yep.
‘I’ve tried working in pretty much most industries – banking, promotions, personal training, construction,’ he told the The Advertiser in 2018.
‘The only thing that’s been consistent has been my love of entertaining people and making people smile.
‘I thought, “what encompasses all of that?” and I came up with acting.’
ELIZABETH
She’s back, back, back. Back again, again, again.
Not happy with how things panned out the first time around, Lizzie is back and looking for hubby 2.0.
And she’s got a whole new look!
Elizabeth recently opened up to a local publication about her health habits, saying that she loves her body ‘at any size’.
‘I’ve thought that when I weighed 49kg and when I’ve weighed 90kg. I want women to realise that we’re all so much more than a number on a scale,’ she added.
‘So, yes, I’ve lost some weight since I was a ‘huge’ size 10 when I was on MAFS, but that doesn’t mean I’m any ‘better’ now, just because I’m slimmer.’
POPPY, 38.
A mother to twin boys, Poppy’s firecracker personality and heartbreaking relationship history makes her a fan favourite.

‘Why can’t I meet a guy that actually likes me?’ she asks relationship guru, John Aiken, who answered her question with another question. ‘How many guys are we talking about that have cheated on you?’
‘Seven. And I’ve only dated eight,’ Mishel admitted.
