It's one of the most dramatic and drama-fuelled dating shows on TV, but for those wanting to find love, signing up to Married At First Sight proves rather enticing.

It may sound like your worst nightmare to marry a stranger, but there are plenty of singletons that are willing to take the risk on the show. Now one hopeful applicant has shared some of the bizarre questions she was faced with when putting herself forward.

Alix Nicholson decided to apply for Married At First Sight Australia 2025, but was shocked at some of the things producers reportedly ask - including questions about her weight and height. Alix argued that these questions didn't seem to be an "integral part for any quest of true love".

She took to the Mamma Mia website and wrote: "Unless my match is based on my BMI which, honestly? Might just be how they work these matches out. Because clearly matching personalities, values and consideration for what contestants are looking for aren't always on the agenda."

Other questions, according to Alix, cover an applicant's "relationship with their parents" as well as "what they are looking for in a partner".

Alix claims she was also asked to include details including hobbies, passions and interests, as well as how she spends her "typical Saturday night" and further detailed: "The producers are also dying to know whether I've ever been convicted of a crime, ever been declared bankrupt, ever been subject to any disciplinary proceedings."

One member of the Season 11 cast has admitted to their criminal past recently. Groom Timothy, who is married to wedding celebrant Lucinda, left fans shocked when he revealed in a recent interview that he had been convicted of being a drug mule. Tim made headlines following his explosive interview on A Current Affair where he said he spent a year behind bars after he was caught using a helicopter to illegally smuggle large amounts of marijuana from Canada to America.

He explained: "I was a helicopter pilot in North America that did something really stupid." Tim said he was being paid to take flying lessons for the sole purpose of trafficking drugs. He added: "It's something I'm not proud of. I'm definitely not proud of it, but it doesn't define who I am and I'm not the same person I was 17 years ago."

Tim said he would earn more than £80,000 per trip. Delving further into his past exploits, he admitted: "I would take off from a little unmanned airport and I would fly up a valley into a creek where I would meet a four-wheel-drive... within a minute, the helicopter would be loaded." But his luck soon ran out as he was caught by police in Los Angeles when he returned after visiting his sick mother in Australia.

Nine Channel and Channel 4 declined to comment.
