"This better be a fkn podcast," commented MAFS bride Alyssa Barmonde.
"SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! Been WAITING for this drop! ❤️🔥☕️," said one fan with a tea emoji suggesting 'tea' will be spilled.
"Omgggg I'm excited and I have no idea what's happening!" wrote a third.
Ollie Skelton
Ollie Skelton was the Perth-based voiceover artist who won hearts during Season 10 of the experiment.
So it was only natural that following his MAFS stint, Ollie put his skills to good use on his podcast 'TOSSER'.
But in October 2024, Ollie announced that his solo podcast 'TOSSER' had come to a close.
It wasn't all bad news though, Ollie was simply moving onto bigger and better things, revealing that he was starting a new podcast 'Restless'.
This time, with a co-host.
"HELLO, I've decided to do a new thing with the very funny Rojan Khastoiu!!!" the 28-year-old wrote to his social media.
They teased what fans could expect from 'Restless', in a trailer video.
In it the duo said, "TOSSER is out! Restless is in!"
'TOSSER' was a much-loved and hugely successful podcast since its launch in mid 2023. So it came as a surprise to many that it was now over
Ollie called 'TOSSER' "the most stressful yet creatively stimulating thing I've ever done".
Ollie said that 'Restless' would drop on Monday October 21 with five video episodes to come.
Fans and friends were excited to see Ollie and Ro come together.
"You were made for this!" one wrote.
While another said, "Yessssss two of the best yappers in one poddy."
Scroll through to learn a bit more about Ollie's new co-host Ro....
We can't wait to get to know Ollie's co-host Rojan better in the coming episodes.
Ollie shared this picture of the pair just days before the podcast announcement.
"Hell yes!!!!!! Coz we're restless, we're wild!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🔥🚨‼️⏰," Ro wrote in the comment section.
It looks like we can expect a lot of banter and laughs from these two.
Lucinda Light
Everybody adored Lucinda on Season 11 of MAFS, and while the marriage celebrant didn't find love with her on-screen husband Timothy Smith her life has certainly changed a lot!
She's currently in the UK filming a dating show alongside Geordie Shore royalty Vicky Pattison (right) and shared this photo mid-filming.
Vicky wrote: "My new partner in crime... 🤩✨💕 @lucindaslight! We're currently abroad filming a brand new series and I just don't think I can explain how excited I am for you to see what we've been working on!! I'm going to stop talking now as I don't want to give anything away buttttt ITS SO JUICY ALREADYYYYY! 😂 Everyone has been amazing- cast, crew, my team... and meeting this amazing woman- @lucindaslight, has been a dream!
"Honesty Box (working title) is coming soon... so stay tuned my reality tv lovers 😂💕."
Lucinda replied: "Gorgeous Vicky! It's the deepest honour to stand alongside you wonderful human. I'm learning so much from you. You're such a kind, down to earth, hillllaarrrious, polite and wise human. I'm so so happy that we get to be apart of this project together.
"It's a joy beyond! Tears in my eyes last night~ you make me laugh so much. I hope we get a bloopers reel in the very least of that does not make it x."
The E4 series will see singletons enter a sunny paradise called 'Truetopia' for a chance to find love and win £100,000 (AU$194,000), but only if they tell the truth.
Each day, contestants will face the 'honesty box', which uses artificial intelligence software to know if they're lying. Lies will cost them money, but the truth could cost them their blossoming relationships.
How. Absolutely. Epic!
Cheryl Maitland
Fans might recognise Cheryl, 33, from Season 4 of the hit match-making series.
Cheryl worked at a hair salon both before and after her part in the experiment in 2017.
In 2020, she put her more than 10 years of hairdressing experience to use by founding Blo Brush, a hairdryer and styling tool all in one.
In October 2024, the star announced quite the exciting career move!
Cheryl Maitland
Cheryl has launched Pally, her very own loungewear brand selling "premium", neutral-coloured sweat sets.
"The day is finally here!" Cheryl announced on social media.
"I am so excited to share what I have been working so hard on for the last six months," she continued.
Cheryl said she put "so much effort and time" into creating the brand, which sells matching sets for women, men and kids.
"To bring my vision to life and create quality pieces for you all is a dream. This is just the beginning!"
Cheryl's launch received plenty of support from fans and friends, including Season 10 MAFS bride Melinda Willis.
"This girl has been through SO much, more than you can imagine and is one of the most resilient women I know," wrote Melinda. "Well done my love."
Jack Millar
Season 9 groom Jack Millar entered the experiment as a corporate financial planner, but in September 2024 he announced some very big news.
"I am so very excited to tell you all that I have taken the leap and quit my job!" he revealed to fans on Instagram.
"Genuinely one of the most anxiety riddled decisions I've ever made. Shifting careers and job security at the age of 29 with a newborn is really tough, but I felt I needed to follow my heart!"
Jack, who shares 10-month-old daughter Penelope with Love Island Australia's Courtney Stubbs revealed he will now be focusing on his career as a full-time photographer and videographer.
The star also revealed the sweet meaning behind the business name, PCJ Creative.
"Daddy quit his nine-to-five," Jack said to his daughter in a video. "I'm going to be starting a business and it's named after you."
'Penelope, Courtney, Jack' – we love it!
