The upcoming season of Married At First Sight is set to premiere on Monday.
And as this year’s brides and grooms prepare to make their television debut, Evelyn Ellis and Duncan James have offered words some advice.
‘Have fun, take it with a grain of salt, and just give it your all,’ Evelyn, 28, told Daily Mail Australia.
Duncan, on the other hand, urged the new flock to remain grounded and not lose themselves in the frenzy to carve a personality that isn’t theirs.
He cautioned, ‘Don’t try and play to be a personality that you’re not,’ emphasising the value of authenticity in winning the hearts of the audience.

Duncan confidently added that people cherish genuineness, advising, ‘Just be who you are, and then I think people will like that authenticity and they’ll love you for that.’
Meanwhile, speaking about their journey post the whirlwind experience on the show, Evelyn painted a picture of a life that has been nothing short of perfection.
‘I think life has been pretty crazy. Things have settled down, but we’ve been enjoying everything,’ she gushed.
Duncan, on the other hand, urged the new flock to remain grounded and not lose themselves in the frenzy to carve a personality that isn’t theirs
Expressing her heartfelt gratitude for Duncan, she added, ‘We’re grateful to have each other. And yeah, just taking every day as it comes. It’s been a wild ride.’
Duncan admitted that the journey was something he hadn’t envisioned but nonetheless cherished.
‘I would never have imagined it to be like this.
A few downs, but a lot of ups. The rollercoaster is not about the downs, it’s who you sit next to. It’s been amazing,’ he reflected.
The upcoming series will feature the most diverse cast to date. Among them are a same-sex pairing and the oldest couple to date. Pictured: MAFS groom Jack Dunkley
