In the early stages of filming for Married At First Sight 2026, chaos has ensued as a specific couple participating in the show has been removed due to an ongoing internal probe.
The Daily Mail reports that Micah Lomo, a finance broker residing in Sydney, was taken out of filming not long after his grand multicultural wedding with cricket presenter Ankita Karungalekar.
Last week, the couple got married at Lindesay House in Darling Point. Ankita looked beautiful in a complex, sage-green and gold lehenga as she carried a vibrant bouquet filled with yellow and peach flowers.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase that sentence as follows: Initially, they were the shining stars among us, garnering admiration from both cast and crew. However, their success story took an unexpected turn, and the magic dissipated.
Micah has denied any wrongdoing.
It’s being reported that Married at First Sight producers could be looking into the situation, although it’s not certain what specific actions, if any, they’ve initiated so far.
According to sources, it was reported by Daily Mail that the couple, fresh from their honeymoon, were informed they were no longer needed on the film set following their return.
Neither Micah nor Ankita attended the show’s first dinner party, which was filmed on August 5.
Despite keeping silent after the revelation of the scandal, Ankita recently shared a subtle message on her Instagram Story. The image she posted depicted a beautiful sunset with the caption: “I was almost there, obtaining all I desired.
As a devoted presenter with a Master’s degree in Communications from Monash University, I assured the production team that I was 100% secure, content, and at ease to carry on working alongside Micah. Currently, I am waiting for updates about my potential continued involvement in the show.
The actors involved have been informed that the couple will no longer be participating in the study, however, it seems there may still be a chance for them to rejoin.
Regardless of some initial criticism, insiders claim the couple left a powerful first impression and executives remain optimistic about their potential for improvement.
According to the source, the team found them quite appealing – they exhibited excellent camaraderie and added a unique flavor to the situation.
‘This isn’t a cut-and-dry situation and production are being very cautious about their next move.’
The event has sparked intense discussion once again about the selection and scrutiny process for Married at First Sight, with the producers pledging to make changes following a series of previous scandals – a promise they aim to fulfill.
Online personality known as ‘Meekz,’ or Micah in real life, is a co-creator of the wellness company Surpass Your Limitz. This enterprise encourages individual development by offering fitness programs and motivational seminars.
Currently, Ankita boasts experience with the Mumbai Indians and Cricket Australia, and she once placed second in the Miss India Australia beauty contest.
Given the uncertainty about the couple’s status and the mounting pressure on the producers, there’s a question mark over whether they will rejoin the experiment or get eliminated from the program permanently.
Nine is committed to providing exceptional TV programming, therefore, they are being meticulous about the actors they choose for their projects.
Network executives are implementing strict background check procedures. Those with criminal histories or prior court cases will not be considered. Any hint of controversy in an individual’s background disqualifies them.
However, since the cast is being finalized on the spot, producers are reportedly managing creative requirements alongside unexpected substitutions, which in turn is affecting the overall structure of the season.
The insider noted that they aren’t sticking with bland personalities – instead, they prefer vibrant individuals and thrilling narrative twists.
‘But they can’t afford another scandal like last time. So they’re walking a tightrope.’
Daily Mail has contacted Nine and Endemol Shine for comment.
