Married at First Sight: Jessica Seracino is paired with personal trainer Daniel Holmes

Jessica Seracino has finally walked down the aisle after she was given a second chance at finding love.

The Melbourne florist, 27, was paired up with Brisbane personal trainer Daniel Holmes, 30, during Tuesday night’s episode of Married at First Sight, after her first groom Simon Blackburn was kicked off the show.

And despite the odds stacked against them, it appears Jessica and Daniel hit it off.

‘She is beautiful, she’s got blue eyes, like the bluest of eyes,’ Daniel gushed to producers.

‘She looks like the type of girl that knows what she wants and is confident and can challenge me a bit for sure, yeah I’m happy,’ he said.

‘What’s your name? I’m Jess. Nice to meet you,’ she said upon meeting her groom.

Success! Despite the odds stacked against them, it appears Jessica and Daniel hit it off

Impressed: ‘She is beautiful, she’s got blue eyes, like the bluest of eyes,’ Daniel said to producers

Happy: ‘She looks like the type of girl that knows what she wants and is confident and can challenge me a bit for sure, yeah I’m happy,’ he gushed

‘He seems very chill, calm and down to Earth, like I don’t have much to go off but I’m feeling hopeful,’ Jess later said of her first impressions.

Married At First Sight were forced to find Jess a new groom after she alerted producers to her first husband’s shocking rants, after asking her friends to ‘do some research’ on him after she noticed several ‘red flags’ during their wedding ceremony.

Producers took unprecedented steps to make it appear ‘like he was never there’ – despite the fact Blackburn, a FIFO worker and divorced father of two, had already attended the bucks party and filmed his wedding by the time he was kicked off.

A quick Google search revealed his history of hateful videos and tweets, and he was ‘immediately’ asked to leave.

Producers assured Ms Seracino they’d had no knowledge of Blackburn’s past when they cast him on the show, and promised to find her a new groom. 

They told Ms Seracino her wedding to Blackburn would not air on TV and she would instead be introduced as an intruder alongside her replacement ‘husband’. 

She is believed to have spent about ‘four weeks in hotel isolation’ waiting for the producers to find her a last-minute replacement groom.
