After last nightโ€™s episode of Married at First Sight, thereโ€™s only one name on the nationโ€™s lips: Jo Mcpharlin, aka Foxy Jojo.

Overnight, the single mum-of-two has become Australiaโ€™s new national treasure.

Joโ€™s no-filtered approach to jumping head and heart first into one of the most vulnerable situations a person can put themselves in is seriously inspiring.

โ€œMy end goal is to have the happily ever after. The fairy tale ending. That is my end goal,โ€ the 40-year-old said ahead of her wedding to Sean.

And while things didnโ€™t go entirely to plan, like when the groom proclaimed โ€œoh shitโ€ after first laying eyes on his bride, Jo couldnโ€™t have given a hoot.

Yep, while Sean was packing it in and giving her as much enthusiasm as a piece of drift wood, Jo was 100% committed to the social experiment.

โ€œThe experts have been spot on, he is for me! [He] couldnโ€™t have been anymore perfect,โ€ she beamed of her beau.

Weโ€™re calling it, no matter what happens with her marriage โ€“ Joโ€™s already won in our hearts. Now, how do we get her her own spin-off show?

To celebrate our favourite new reality TV star, weโ€™ve rounded up her best MAFS moments!

When she arrived to her wedding in a horse-drawn carriage with her kids by her side

Itโ€™s only fitting that our new Queen of reality TV gets the royal treatment and seeing Jo arrive to her wedding on a horse-drawn carriage warmed our hearts.

During their journey, Jo was the furthest thing from a nervous wreck and made sure to lap up her fairy tale moment.

โ€œGโ€™Day! Hello!โ€ Jo yelled as she gave her best royal wave.

โ€œWeโ€™re all excited! Excited about our new journey weโ€™re going to embark on, hey,โ€ she told her two kids.

When she rocked bejewelled thongs down the aisle like the goddess she is

Forget being a nightmare bridezilla, Joโ€™s practical approach to tying the knot actually makes so much sense.

When her bestie Karen gifted her with a pair of bejewelled thongs, Jo couldnโ€™t contain her joy.

โ€œThey are like gloves, itโ€™s like my glass slipper! Oh my god,โ€ she squawked with pure elation.

โ€œTheyโ€™re the bomb! Comfort is so important. I donโ€™t want to ruin my day because I canโ€™t walk and my shoes are squishing my feet.โ€

[โ€œIโ€™m] All about the thongs, all about comfort, or Crocsโ€ฆ the Aussie bogan,โ€ she explained as she let off her trademark laugh.
