When Bronson Norrish signed up to be part of Australia's Married at First Sight, he hoped to find the love of his life.
After an unimaginably difficult few years, in which his brother was murdered by a gang, his mum died on the operating table and his oldest brother passed away suddenly aged just 32, he was looking for happiness.
But he ended up being part of one of the most dramatic reality TV story lines of the year, with his new wife Ines Basic having an affair with someone else on the show.
The programme was filmed in 2019 but is currently being aired in the UK on e4, meaning Bronson has now moved on and found the "love of his life".
Speaking to The Mirror, he explains that while he cut ties with Ines after the show he has no hard feelings towards Sam - but describes filming the show as a bad experience.
Since the show was aired, Bronson has spent a lot of his time caring for his dad, who is battling cancer.
However he has met someone very special, and they have been dating for two years.
He tells us: "I met the love of my life two years ago. Funnily enough she is a doctor, who was studying to become a brain surgeon.
"She met me, changed her degree and is now studying to become a psychiatrist.
"Apparently after watching the show she realised there are a lot of people with mental problems that needed help."
Speaking about life after the show, he said: "It's been great getting out of the show and back to reality.
"I’m very lucky to live where I do. Where the rest of Australia went MAFS crazy, here in Perth WA where I live no one really cares about reality TV.
"Unfortunately here in Australia, TV seasons have shown the bigger villain you are, the more money you can make through your online following.
"It seams like people deliberately go on now to become the biggest spectacle and don’t care who they hurt.
"I have received so much love and support from you Brits it’s overwhelming.
"It’s heartwarming to see people from my homeland supporting one of their own. Can’t wait to get back over there!"
Broson claims he wanted to leave the show after the first week, but producers told him not to.
He said: "I wouldn’t recommend [being on the show].
"The producers tried to manipulate you into doing what they wanted.
"I wanted to leave after the first week but the producers would not let me.
"I was isolated from the other couples and only allowed out 30 minutes a day and only if they wanted to film me."
One of the things which got people talking during Broson's time on the show, is a tattoo on his stomach that had to be blurred out - leaving viewers wondering what it said.
He explains that it says "Just Don't Give A F***" and is a moving tribute to his brother.
"My brother had this tattoo across his stomach", he says.
"After he was murdered I decided to get the same one in his memory."
Despite his unpleasant experience on the show, Bronson says he only has one regret.
He explains: "Even a bad experience is a good one
If you fall off a horse you learn you best not do it again.
"My only regret is wasting my family and friends time. They took time off work, time away from there family and flew thousands of miles to make it to my wedding."
He claims that the difficulties between him and Ines continued after the cameras stopped rolling, so he had no interest in remaining friends with her.
But surprisingly, he says he has no hard feelings towards Sam.
He said: "Sam tried to warn me what was happening on the show before I was dragged away into isolation so I hold not Ill feeling towards him.
"Love the fellas from my season. You couldn’t find a nicer bunch of boys if you tried."
The Mirror has contacted the production company behind the show for comment.
