After last night’s episode of Married at First Sight, there’s only one name on the nation’s lips: Jo Mcpharlin, aka Foxy Jojo.

Overnight, the single mum-of-two has become Australia’s new national treasure.

Jo’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.

“My end goal is to have the happily ever after. The fairy tale ending. That is my end goal,” the 40-year-old said ahead of her wedding to Sean.

And while things didn’t go entirely to plan, like when the groom proclaimed “oh shit” after first laying eyes on his bride, Jo couldn’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.

“The experts have been spot on, he is for me! [He] couldn’t have been anymore perfect,” she beamed of her beau.

We’re calling it, no matter what happens with her marriage – Jo’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, we’ve rounded up her best MAFS moments!

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

“G’Day! Hello!” Jo yelled as she gave her best royal wave.

“We’re all excited! Excited about our new journey we’re going to embark on, hey,” she told her two kids.

When her bestie Karen gifted her with a pair of bejewelled thongs, Jo couldn’t contain her joy.

“They are like gloves, it’s like my glass slipper! Oh my god,” she squawked with pure elation.

“They’re the bomb! Comfort is so important. I don’t want to ruin my day because I can’t walk and my shoes are squishing my feet.”

[“I’m] All about the thongs, all about comfort, or Crocs… the Aussie bogan,” she explained as she let off her trademark laugh.
