Meet Married at First Sight Australia's new castMatt Monfredi Ltd - Channel 4

Married at First Sight Australia will be back on screens later this month — so it's time to meet the brides and grooms looking for love down under.

This year's cast includes a heavy representation for the Gold Coast and more than one singleton hoping the MAFS experiment will get them out of the friend zone.

Relationship experts John Aiken and Mel Schilling will return to advise the newlyweds, joined by sexologist Alessandra Rampolla. This year's cast features 10 couples, including a same-sex pair.

Married at First Sight Australia will return on Monday, February 26 at 7.30pm on E4.
