Channel Nine issues stern warning to ‘fame-hungry’ cast Married At First Sight

The new season of Married At First Sight will premiere on Channel Nine next week.

But it seems that controlling the cast is already proving to be a headache for the network with some ‘fame-hungry’ contestants refusing to hand over their Instagram logins.

A handful of girlfriends and boyfriends prevent Nine from announcing their official social media accounts because they won’t hand over their passwords.

“Some people have refused to hand over their login details as they still have questions and concerns about their editing,” a source told Daily Mail Australia.

“It’s standard practice for the network to be in control of their Instagrams while the show airs, and for several weeks afterward, but some cast members are reluctant to play ball.”

“They still have no response from the production after their experience filming the reunion last month. They are concerned about their editing,” the source added.

As of Monday morning, several key cast members still have full control of their Instagram accounts and have been posting as normal.

MAFS executive producers Tara McWilliams, who is credited with transforming the show into the ratings juggernaut it is today, previously acknowledged that some of the contestants are not “100 percent genuine.”

She said mediaweek it is not ‘realistic’ to expect all brides and grooms to be ‘only motivated by finding love’.

But regardless of her intentions, she makes sure that all the contestants are ‘authentic’ in their own way and sincerely want to participate in the experiment, even if romance is not their main motivation.
