MAFS expert expert John Aiken shuts down rumours of a celebrity version of the show

Married at First Sight expert John Aiken has shut down rumours the next season of the hit show will feature celebrities. 

Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle on Sunday, John said the show will remain the same when it returns for it’s tenth season next year. 

‘I think we just keep doing what we’re doing,’ he said.

‘I don’t think we need to go down the path of Celebrity MAFS. I think we just keep 2023 with essentially the same ingredients: Singles looking for love trying their best to fall in love.’ 

John added that once the show is over he doesn’t keep in touch with them but enjoys watching them ‘shine post-show’.

It comes after Channel Nine star Richard Wilkins, 68, claimed he was offered ‘a lot of zeros’ to star in a celebrity version of the show.

‘[Former Nine CEO] David Gyngell once said to me, I’ll give you – I won’t mention the amount of money but a lot of zeros – if you do Celebrity Married at First Sight,’ Wilkins said on Tuesday’s Fitzy & Wippa morning show last month.

Celebrities Richard Reid, Yvie Jones, Ash Williams, Tully Smyth, Harry T and Paulini Curuenavuli have all previously been touted as potential stars of a celebrity spin-off of the experiment.

While Richard didn’t rule out an appearance on the show, he did tell hosts Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald and Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli he had no desire to appear on SAS, Survivor or Love Island.
