Reality TV aficionados, unite. Our favourite chaotic dating show, Married At First Sight has begun filming for season 11, and we can barely contain our excitement.
With season 10 still fresh in our minds, no doubt the latest iteration will be brimming with explosive dinner parties, emotional commitment ceremonies, and a healthy dose of drama sprinkled on top.
So who is set to grace our screens in 2024? While the show’s official channels are yet to release a cast list, the Daily Mail has obtained images that show filming with the new batch of contestants well underway.
In the sneak peek, several female contestants can be seen enjoying a cocktail party together, with the publication reporting that the cast list includes a marketing and PR consultant, a business development manager, a fitness coach, a nurse, and a wedding celebrant – among many others.
The publication also reported that the new season will feature the programs “oldest ever groom” — we wonder who he will be paired up with?
News of the Australian cast comes shortly after the UK branch of the series announced it had cast its first-ever transgender bride. Early this week, Married At First Sight UK released their lineup of brides. Among them was 29-year-old Ella, who’s described as a “blonde bombshell with a fiery personality” looking for “a king to match her queen energy.”
In her introduction video shared to the show’s Instagram page, Ella introduced herself as transgender, saying, “I was born a boy, I’ve transitioned. That’s why I’m very open-minded and just have a lot of fun because I’ve had such a shitty life.”
“I deserve love because I’ve gone through a lot as a person, and I feel like I deserve to be happy with someone who loves me for me and accepts me because I am fabulous,” she added.
Will the Australian franchise follow suit with this kind of diversity? We’ll have to wait and see
