Married at First Sight Australia expert teases show first that changes the course of series in first 10 seconds

Married at First Sight fans will be pleased to know the Australian version of the hit series is back on our screens at 7.30pm on Monday, March 6. And appearing on This Morning ahead of the programme's premiere, Mel Schilling, MAFS love guru, has opened up on all the dramas set to unfold - including one which is a "complete game changer" that changed the course of the "entire experiment".

If you're not clued up on MAFs, the show, as explained by Mel - who works in a team of experts including psychologist John Aiken and sexologist Alessandra Rampolla - is a social experiment in which "we are actually pairing people up who have never met before, who probably wouldn't usually meet in real life, and they meet for the first time at the alter. They clasp eyes on each other for the first time- on their wedding day". Matching people by looking at data and through interviews, they pair people up by their values in a relationship and what they "need".

She added: "Really what it's about for us is the science. The big question here is: Can science predict love? And that is the question we're constantly seeking to understand."
