Married at First Sight Australia is just as filled to the brim with drama as its UK counterpart, and honestly, we can’t pick a favourite. The latest cast of the Australian series however has really been hitting it out of the park, and we think it may have just tipped the scale in the Aussies favour.
Even if you don’t love all of them, they’re certainly memorable. Ridge Barredo burst onto our screens brimming with confidence and with an array of the most annoying catchphrases we've ever heard of on reality TV. If we hear “dece” one more time...
The 27-year-old former weightlifter is matched with mum-of-one Jade Pywell. Before we find out if they managed to make it work, here's everything you need to know about Ridge and what a dece life he leads (we can’t help ourselves)...
