Whilst we might all be partial to exchanging star signs after a few glasses of prosecco, Married At First Sight’s latest bride has taken it a step further with her unusual career choice.
The reality show’s latest bride – Madeleine Maxwell- is introduced to wide-eyed viewers (and even wider-eyed cast mates) as a psychic medium.
You may even recognise her face from elsewhere….No I’m not talking about deja-vu, in a previous life Maxwell starred in the TV soap Home and Away.
Not all of the cast quite understood what exactly it is that Maxwell does, with fellow bride Lauren turning to her partner during the wedding and asking “What’s a medium? Like, a clothes size? Girl, you are at least an extra-small.”
We hope Maxwell will take it as a compliment!
Still, if there is one thing we can all see coming, it is MAFS position on the TV leaderboard. The show had a total reach yesterday of 2,505,000 people with a whopping 1,360,000 signing up to watch the episode. A total of 287,000 watched on BVOD.
It was followed by drier content in the form of Seven and Nine’s news offerings which picked up reaches of 2,225,000 and 2,009,000 respectively.
Nine’s A Current Affair picked up a reach of 1,854,000 and Australian Idol had a national reach of 1,700,000.
Australian Survivor, on Network 10, had a reach of 917,000.
