Married At First Sight's Lucinda Light admits she regrets going on Channel Nine dating show: 'Felt like a giant slap'

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but be captivated by Lucinda Light’s extraordinary journey. Her story is one of spontaneity, resilience, and self-discovery that unfolded under the glaring spotlight of Married At First Sight.


Speaking candidly now, Lucinda Light has shared her feelings of surprise following her participation in Married At First Sight earlier this year, confessing that she found the whole experience to be unexpected.

In an interview with this week’s Stellar, Lucinda, aged 43, admitted that her choice to participate in the show came unexpectedly, a impulse decision she made while going through a challenging phase in her life.

Reflecting on my recent choices, I must admit that the opportunity to join this show felt incredibly serendipitous. Amidst the challenges posed by the pandemic, I stumbled upon an online advertisement for the program during a low point in both my personal and professional life. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect, as if it were meant to be.

In a somewhat unexpected turn, it seemed as though the universe had given me a great shake, urging me to take a daring step. You see, my life had been rather tranquil, and I found myself feeling uninspired in the realm of romance. This is what Lucinda confessed.

It came as quite a shock when the reality TV bride admitted that she hadn’t watched a single episode of Married at First Sight prior to joining the show.

She mentioned that she hasn’t been regularly watching TV or participating in the television-centric culture for several years now.

As someone eagerly diving into the unfamiliar waters of the show’s infamous standing, I found myself on a challenging educational journey, learning at a rapid pace.

She chuckled, remarking that it was the most enlightening study of human behavior she had ever experienced, referring to her time under public scrutiny.

It’s worth mentioning that Lucinda observed the show provided an unanticipated educational opportunity for its audience. People across various age groups, even teenagers, have been expressing their appreciation for the insights they gained about relationships through viewing the show.

She commented that the show is excellent for education since it demonstrates both effective and ineffective ways to handle relationships.

Following Lucinda’s recent disclosure about her experiences on MAFS and her post-show lifestyle transition.

In a peaceful coastal hamlet nestled on the Great Ocean Road, Lucinda confessed that it still seems unbelievable to her when people recognize her during her trips to larger urban areas.

As I share with Daily Mail Australia, the abundance of chances that have been presented to me surpasses anything I could’ve ever dreamt up in my most fervent imaginations as a die-hard fan!

In a peaceful seaside community, my daily routine is rather ordinary, consisting mainly of cooking, appreciating the beauty of nature, and ensuring quality rest. Yet, it remains somewhat unbelievable when people recognize me in Melbourne or other places.

I truly cherish those instances where someone welcomes me as if we’ve been separated for years. In truth, it’s such a heartwarming sight.

A few days ago, a concrete worker came over to do some home repairs, and his surprise and amusement at seeing me left me in fits of laughter – “Why, it’s Lucinda herself!” he exclaimed.

Lucinda also spoke candidly about the biggest lesson she learnt from the experiment.

‘I learned some humbling things during my time on the experiment,’ she explained.

‘There’s been a substantial period of expansion, and it’s ongoing. A key takeaway from this is to avoid acting too forcefully or impulsively like one might with a leaf blower.’

Reflecting on the overall experience, Lucinda expressed nothing but love and appreciation.

Oh my goodness, I was utterly captivated from start to finish! The entire journey was nothing short of extraordinary, taking me on a rollercoaster ride of feelings. There were moments that tested my limits, had me laughing till it hurt, brought about groundbreaking realizations, left me feeling embarrassed, filled me with immense joy, instilled hope, and even plunged me into disappointment – all in one go! Simply unforgettable!

‘I loved all the cast and crew, and every day was a new adventure. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and an utterly unique experience. What you put in is what you get out!’
