We’re being blessed with former Married At First Sight (MAFS) contestant Lucinda Light’s dulcet tones again, as she has a brand new gig on MAFS UK. While fans have been calling for Lucinda to become a MAFS expert ever since she wowed audiences last year, she’s finally been tapped for an official role.
Sadly, she won’t be on the actual show as an expert for 2025. Instead, Lucinda is hosting the official companion podcast to MAFS UK, which means hours of her velvety voice for fans to listen to.
“Have you heard? I’m so honoured to be hosting the official MAFS UK weekly podcast! We’re going to have such an amazing time, and I can’t wait to meet the new brides and grooms, as well as some famous faces along the way,” Lucinda wrote on Instagram. “Who’s excited for the new season? Guys, I’m beyond pumped. I reckon this is going to be the best yet!”
She tells Chattr that being given this role was a “deep honour” and will approach the current MAFS UK contestants with care and understanding. “Having gone through the experiment myself, I’m really proud of all the brave souls that have taken on the journey,” Lucinda says.
“I’ll be offering them a fun and non-judgmental space where they can express where they’re at and shake it all out a bit.”
The first episode of MAFS UK has now aired, and drag performer and singer Danny Beard joined Lucinda to dissect it on MAFS UK: It’s Official with Lucinda Light.
Lucinda opens up about the ‘hardest’ part of MAFS Australia
Olivia Bentley also interviewed Lucinda about her experience on MAFS Australia, and she said the hardest part of filming MAFS was being paired with Tim Smith.
“For me, it was my particular match, just because he wasn’t really into me,” Lucinda admitted. “I mean, it was a bit of an unrequited love story.
“I saw it as an experiment and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity whereby I just wanted to roll up my sleeves and try it from every angle. And I was blessed because I genuinely had a crush. He was a total spunk.”
Lucinda also touched on the topic of reality TV being highly edited and warned viewers not to judge people too harshly.
“It’s a wild ride in there. I mean, one minute out of every 300 minutes makes it to [the] cut. They left out some of my more unbecoming moments,” she said.
“We’ve got to be mindful when we’re watching reality television shows. We’ve got to remember the humanity behind it.”
Now that she’s made her MAFS UK debut, could we see Lucinda back on Aussie screens for MAFS 2026? Fingers crossed!
