EXCLUSIVE MAFS 2025: Lauren Hall to return to show as intruder bride after 'husband' Eliot Donovan dumped her during their honeymoon READ MORE: MAFS 2025 SPOILER: Chaos as producers battle to contain season 12 cast after groom flees the state and three couples quit just weeks into filming By Ali Daher For Daily Mail Australia Published: 00:16, 21 August 2024 | Updated: 00:17, 21 August 2024 e-mail View comments Brisbane businesswoman Lauren Hall is set to walk down the aisle for a second time in a dramatic twist that promises to shake up Married At First Sight 2025. Lauren is hotly tipped to return to the show as an intruder bride after her original groom, Eliot Donovan, abruptly quit during their honeymoon. Lauren, who runs the successful corporate gifts business Mayfair Lane Gifts, was left blindsided when her 'handsome' groom Eliot packed his bags and left the show, mere days after they tied the knot.
Insiders reveal that producers at Endemol Shine Australia were left scrambling after Eliot's sudden exit, which has thrown the show's carefully laid plans into disarray. Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, a source close to the production said: 'Eliot was unimpressed from the moment he laid eyes on Lauren. It was clear from the get-go that this was a complete mismatch.
'By the next morning, he was done—no second thoughts, no hesitation. Everyone was in shock, asking, "WTF is going on?"' The same insider revealed that Eliot felt he had been 'stitched up' by the show's producer.
