Married At First Sight’s Sean Thomsen claims he is ‘returning for season six’

Filming for Married At First Sight’s sixth season officially commenced this week.

And it looks like Sean Thomsen could be set for a spectacular return following his two failed relationships in the show’s fifth season.

The 34-year-old FIFO worker appeared to confirm his comeback during a late night Instagram Story on Wednesday. 

Second time lucky! Married At First Sight’s Sean Thomsen (pictured) claimed on Wednesday he is returning to the show for season six as filming commences – but is he just joking?

‘So in case you’re wondering, the big scoop is I’m going to be on the next season of MAFS,’ he said.

Perhaps hinting he was joking, Sean added that he ‘got shown a lot and [had] so much airtime’ on the last season.

Sean entered 2018’s social experiment alongside ‘wife’ Blair Rachael.

He's back: 'So in case you're wondering, the big scoop is I'm going to be on the next season of MAFS,' Sean said while talking directly to the camera in an Instagram Story on Wednesday

However, their relationship fell apart within a matter of weeks after they struggled with physical intimacy.

Sean later returned during the finale episode, which aired in March, and debuted his relationship with Tracey Jewel.

He split from Tracey in May and has since between linked to 19-year-old Melbourne-based Instagram model Sarcia Alexandra.

Although Sean’s return is yet to be confirmed by Channel Nine, it’s not the first time a contestant has made a surprise comeback.

John Robertson has appeared on the show twice, failing to find a lasting relationship on both occasions.

John was matched with Deborah Brosnan in season four, and was invited back and matched with journalist Melissa Walsh for the fifth season.

If Sean does indeed return, he will be filming alongside tattooed gym junkie Sam Ball, who will also be appearing on the 2019 series.

The aspiring actor, 26,  has already started filming ‘backstory’ scenes for the reality TV show, and will ‘marry’ his soon-to-be bride in September. 

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Nine for comment.
