MARRIED At First Sight fans are in for a treat – as the ‘wildest series in the WORLD’ is heading to our shores.
Brits can tune in to the highly dramatic MAFS series next month and will find their jaws dropping in show.
The 2025 series of MAFS Australia features cheating scandals, a wife swap and a groom who ditched his bride because she was “too old”.
Fans will also be horrified to see another “deflated” man dismiss his match before their honeymoon because she was not “petite”.
The 12th season of Married At First Sight Australia kicked off Down Under last month and fans have already been on a wild ride.
The grooms in particular have raised plenty of eyebrows with their treatment towards their brides.
Eliot Donovan, 35, quit the show after just one episode as he believed his new wife, Lauren Hall, was “too old” at 37.
The business owner, who described himself as a “catch”, complained: “There was definitely things on my non-negotiables, right?’
“I wanted someone that was younger than me, preferably someone under 30.”
In a brutal blow, he told his new wife: “There’s just some things that I know I’m not willing to compromise on.”
Eliot packed his bags and left.
Incredibly, however, the confident groom later reappeared on set for a dinner party and even shocked the crew.

Elsewhere, Tim Gromie came massively under fire from furious Aussie fans for his cruel words about bride Katie Johnstone.
Katie, who had opened up to the experts about her ordeal of being body-shamed by an ex partner, was dumped by Tim before they even made it to the honeymoon.
During the wedding reception, he pulled a producer aside and said: “Totally not what I wanted. Not good.
“I normally go for short, petite, blonde or brunette. Katie’s nothing like what I usually go for. There’s just no attraction. I can tell straight away.”
He then told her off camera that they wouldn’t be going any further in the experiment.
The wrath of furious women could be felt across Australia, with many branding him “no oil painting” himself.
Heartbroken Katie, meanwhile, cried to the cameras: “To be rejected that’s my worst nightmare.
“I don’t know what I’ve done wrong, why this keeps happening. I feel humiliated.”
This, however, can be outdone by MAFS Australia groom Jake Luik.
He has since been accused of sending his mates some vile messages about his wife Ashleigh Ackerman in a group chat.
Jake is claimed to have described Ashleigh as “the fat f***”, with his friend replying: “Oh yeah, the real fat f***. You got given a dud.”
There is also wild cheating and partner swaps for MAFS fans to get stuck into, too.
The series was thrown into chaos after it was reported that bride Jacqui Burfoot had dumped her groom Ryan Donnelly and relocated to Tasmania – with Clint, Lauren’s second groom.
According to Daily Mail Australia, the partner switch left Ryan “blind-sided” and it all came out publicly BEFORE Clint and Lauren’s wedding story had even aired.
A source told the outlet: “Producers are furious. This completely ruins Clint and Lauren’s wedding episode.
“Viewers haven’t even seen them get married yet, and now they already know Clint ends up with Jacqui.”
- Married at First Sight Australia starts Monday March 3 at 9pm on E4. Stream on Channel 4.
