Married At First Sight UK star Marilyse Corrigan has revealed that she has dated one of the grooms from the new series before he joined the show.
The 37-year-old mother-of-two announced the revelation during her online web series - Wine O'Clock with Matt and Maz - alongside fellow 2021 alumni Matt Jameson. Their first episode welcomed special guest MAFS expert Paul C Brunson, who was shocked by the admission.
The 2022 series of the hit E4 show has been full of drama already with just a few episodes under way with one bride set to turn her back on her own spouse for someone else.
The name of the couple is being a closely guarded secret - but the split is suspected to be explosive.
And Marilyse, who stayed with husband Franky Spencer at the final commitment in the first series before breaking up last year, added to the drama when she revealed her shock news during a game of 'Never Have I Ever' with Matt and Paul.
Matt, who already knew the revelation, teased: "Never have I ever dated anyone from the new cast," to which Marilyse giggled and sipped her drink to confirm that she had.
Paul was shocked, replying: "You said the new cast right?" Marilyse responded: "I won't say any names, because I would never do that, but yes I dated someone briefly at the end of last year who's on the new show."
The show's expert was left stunned as he tried to compute the news before adding: "Wow, this is big."
She went on to explain that she dated the unnamed groom before she donated her kidney to her ex-husband Shaun Bell, resulting in the relationship fizzling out and her later finding out that he is on the new series.
Marilyse said: "I'm not going to tell anyone who it is because obviously it is private." As Paul poked for more information about the mystery man, she added: "I'm not going to tell you how we met because then it will ruin the whole thing."
A still stunned Paul continued to struggle to get over the news that had slipped him by, and he responded: "I did not [know]! I feel like I know most things, this is terrible! I don't know.
He added: "If I've interviewed him whilst he was dating you I'm going to nail his a**. I'm gonna nail it to the wall."
