Where to find all the MAFS 2021 contestants on Instagram before all the drama starts.

Buckle in folks, another wild season of Married At First Sight is right around the corner. And just between us, we're still recovering from the all-star reunion. 

The show's eighth season, which kicks off tomorrow night, will see a fresh batch of contestants marry a complete stranger on reality TV, in the hopes of joining one of only three MAFS couples that are actually still together.

Channel Nine are also throwing a new expert into the mix this season, certified clinical sexologist Alessandra Rampolla. And there's already a rumoured twist that involves her.

Watch the latest trailer for the upcoming season of Married At First Sight below. Post continues below.
