It comes after Daily Mail Australia revealed that season 10 of MAFS will feature some of the most controversial participants to date.

One bride is no stranger to controversy, having already made headlines for trashing a nightclub bathroom almost a decade ago.

‘She completely trashed a bathroom at a bar and has been banned from the venue ever since. I guarantee she’s going to cause a riot on the show,’ a source said.

In 2019 he competed against the likes of Love Island's Maurice Salib and Lochie Carey for the Manhunt Australia Male Model of the Year title

Another bride has been dubbed ‘Olivia Frazer 2.0’ after entering the experiment all sweet and innocent only to unleash her mean streak later on.  

‘Alarm bells have already gone off. She’s not as innocent as she led producers to believe… we’re thinking she’s going to be the next Olivia, for sure,’ said the insider.

Meanwhile, one outspoken groom is understood to have undergone media training before filming, which suggests he views the show as his ticket to fame and fortune.
