MAFS 2025: Miss Universe Australia finalist Veronica Cloherty signs on as an intruder bride and is paired with runaway groom Eliot Donovan

As a seasoned viewer of Married at First Sight, I must say that the return of Eliot is certainly intriguing. With his rocky start at the buck’s party and the drama he left behind, it seems like this season is shaping up to be quite the rollercoaster ride.


An ex-contestant for the title of Miss Universe Australia and an actress is now part of the cast for the television series ‘Married at First Sight’ in the year 2025.

As a devoted admirer, I’m thrilled to share that I, Veronica Cloherty, have officially joined the cast as an ‘intruder bride.’ Anticipating my arrival, the show’s creators promise a dose of high-drama in the upcoming experiment.

In a new pairing, the 30-year-old actress is set to work alongside Eliot Donovan, who unexpectedly left the production just two days into his honeymoon and was initially matched with Lauren Hall.

Veronica has become well-known in the Australian film scene, with roles in movies such as Streets of Colour and the mini-series RIFK.

Sources close to production say Veronica has already made a strong impression during filming.

According to a source close to the show, she isn’t shy about expressing her opinions. In fact, she’s brimming with character and has no intention of allowing others to trample on her.

It’s said that her passionate personality has sparked some tension with other couples on the show, leading to whispers of heated arguments occurring early on.

According to another source, the other brides didn’t anticipate her to be so straightforward, but that’s exactly what will make her story so captivating to follow.

Producers are excited about her casting, as they think Veronica’s bold and assertive character will make her a captivating figure on TV.

‘She’s definitely going to shake things up,’ the source added.

In a surprising turn of events that I recently learned about from Daily Mail Australia, I found myself echoing the shock felt by the cast and crew when Eliot unexpectedly showed up on set, tardily joining the dinner party last week.

‘It was like the ultimate plot twist,’ a source close to the show dished.

As I stood there, basking in the blossoming camaraderie between Lauren and Clint, my heart skipped a beat when Eliot suddenly appeared on the scene. The expression on Lauren’s face was a sight to behold – she looked as if she’d been struck by lightning. Poor Clint, though, he didn’t seem one bit enthused.

‘Lauren’s new groom Clint let him absolutely have it.’

In simpler terms, the news was filled with stories about Eliot leaving shortly after marrying Lauren, explaining it was due to a feeling of disconnect between them.

It appears his comeback implies that there’s still some outstanding matters, not just between him and Lauren, but also with the other people involved.

According to a well-placed insider, Eliot’s return isn’t just about mending fences with Lauren.

‘Eliot feels like he was misunderstood,’ the source said.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t contain my excitement! He’s returned to set the record straight and clear his name, yet he remains unapologetic for his past actions. To me, him and Lauren were like oil and water – an ill-fated pairing if ever there was one. And let me tell you, nothing has changed in my mind; I still stand firm that he wants out of their romantic entanglement.

As a devoted admirer, I, Lauren, have found myself treading the uncharted waters of a fresh connection with golf sensation Clint – a man renowned for his calm composure amidst high-pressure situations. However, the memory of Eliot’s sudden exit still lingers in my heart.

‘Lauren and Clint were really starting to hit it off,’ the insider continued.

1) Clint has been a strong support for her, and she’s been relishing this new beginning. However, Eliot’s comeback has undoubtedly caused some complications.

Eliot’s reappearance has sent ripples of tension throughout the cast.

‘There’s a lot of anxiety now,’ the source added. ‘Everyone has no clear what the f**k is going on.

‘Eliot’s comeback has put everyone on edge, especially Lauren.’ 

Based on what the source has shared, it seems that several grooms found Eliot difficult to get along with during their encounter at the bachelor party.

‘It’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out’.

As an absolutely ecstatic fan, I can hardly contain my excitement! It seems that the producers are overjoyed by the unforeseen twists, labeling Eliot’s comeback as a ‘season-altering’ event!

‘This is the kind of twist that makes MAFS must-watch TV,’ another insider shared.

The romantic entanglement among Eliot, Lauren, and Clint promises to captivate the audience’s attention.

After Daily Mail Australia reported, Eliot had already arranged to leave and buy a return flight back home, even before their wedding certificate ink had dried.

From what sources close to him suggest, he found it challenging under the stress of the television program and was overpowered by the fast-moving nature of the study.

‘Eliot just wasn’t ready for the intensity of it all,’ a source close to the groom revealed.

Initially, he believed he could handle it, but during their honeymoon, things became overwhelming, leading him to make the decision to leave.

Does Eliot deserves a second chance?

Have your say

Photos captured on August 6 by Daily Mail Australia depicted the Married at First Sight production team hastily attempting to protect Lauren, who appeared alone, during her arrival at the initial dinner party.

Initially, during the first dedication event, there was an unexpected massive departure, as three pairs decided to end their relationships just two weeks into the recording process – a surprising turn of events that was almost unparalleled.

A source has revealed that we’ve lost six team members within just two weeks, which has significantly increased the workload for everyone else. This heavy burden is causing significant stress and friction among the remaining team members.

Additionally joining novices Clint and Lauren to add a twist of excitement are married duo TeeJay Halkias and Bethy Kelly, who exchanged vows in scenes captured on Tuesday.

In the midst of all the casting turmoil, it’s been disclosed by Daily Mail Australia that a fresh group of characters has been introduced under a single rule: to ramp up the excitement and tension.

Each was carefully chosen for their ability to create excitement among the current couples, as it was recently disclosed that six contestants suddenly left, causing quite a commotion.

From the beginning, they were informed to generate conflict and maintain an engaging narrative flow, as they explained.

During the previous season, two out of three pairs of intruders didn’t make it to the end, leaving the experiment prematurely after just a few days. Their sudden departures caused quite a stir.
