Controversial reality series Married At First Sight is moving into Neighbours territory with a location used as part of the chaotic show’s filming being branded an Australian “cultural monument” by the star of one of the world’s most popular dramas.
Bridgerton favourite Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope Bridgerton on the hugely successful Netflix drama, is a MAFS fan who has openly spoken of her love of the dating show.
Taking her MAFS devotion to the next level, Coughlan has made a pilgrimage to the Skye Suites apartment block in Sydney where the MAFS couples stay and the show is filmed.
The Irish actress spent June in Australia and shared her MAFS moment with her Instagram followers while recapping her experiences Down Under.
“Got to take a break for the first time in what felt like a really long time and had a magic month,” she posted.
“Feeling very sad to leave, but very grateful to have had such a beautiful trip …. most importantly I got to visit Australia’s most impressive cultural monument, the MAFS apartment building.”
Quick to reply was the MAFS official Instagram page, extending her an invite to appear at one of the show’s infamous dinner parties.
Pin Oak Court in Vermont South where Neighbours has filmed for 40 years has long been a ‘must visit’ for fans of the show. Could a MAFS tourist trail be in the offing?
