Just when the drama on our version of Married At First Sight wound up, we’ve learned that Perth pals Sharon Marsh, 32, and Andrew “Jonesy” Jones, 39, who starred in Australia’s MAFS, are giving love on the small screen another go on Love Island!

NW insiders reveal that the reality TV stars were approached for a second round of Married At First Sight, but while they weren’t interested in walking down the aisle again they were open to discussing a gig on Channel Nine’s other dating show!

“Shaz and Jonesy were put through the wringer on MAFS,” says our well-placed insider.

“But Love Island sounded like a more casual way to potentially find a forever mate – and have fun doing so!”

Shaz is ready to put her heart back on the line after her split from TV hubby Nick Furphy, who’s since moved on with model Amy-Lee Dixon, who weirdly happens to be the little sister of The Bachelor‘s Steph Dixon (Steph failed to win the heart of Richie Strahan on that dating show).

And Jonesy, who’s kept a low-profile since MAFS wrapped earlier this year, is ready to put his on-screen ex Cheryl Maitland and that dramatic dating experience behind him.

“This is just a laugh for him,” says our source.

“He doesn’t think he’ll find anything for real on TV, but he’s not going to turn down a free trip to Spain with his best mate!”
