Married at First Sight is about to get under way for 2020, so we thought we’d take a look at the contestants set to find love – and create all sorts of drama – on our TV screens.
First, meet Mikey Pembroke.

Channel Nine are selling him as a “real estate and marketing” professional, and it looks like Mikey’s got the brains and brawn (and he doesn’t appear to be camera shy).
But what’s he really like? Keep on scrolling to find out.

I mean, with abs like that…
(Credit: Instagram)If you take a quick squiz at Mikey’s Instagram account (link here – you’re welcome), it’s full of shameless shirtless photos and up-close up shots.
He is also a big fan of filming his intense gym workouts and posting them on the ‘gram for his followers to see.
And with abs like his, I guess we can understand why!
Oooft!

But don’t think he’s on his hands and knees changing bed pans – he works in head office in Melbourne in a strictly managerial role.
Prior to that, he worked as a sales executive for a marketing company, and he’s also worked as a real estate agent for LJ Hooker in Sydney’s well-to-do north shore suburb of Mosman.
He’s also had a bit of experience working in the media – he was an “integration coordinator” at radio station Nova for two years, between 2012 and 2014.

(Credit: Instagram)Mikey’s ex-girlfriend Katie Williams is no stranger to reality TV herself – she was a contestant on the very first season of Australian Ninja Warrior, back in 2017.
It seems Katie and Mikey shared a passion for fitness.
Katie, 26, is a former professional athlete who now uses her social media platform to educate young women about maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle without deprivation or fad diets.
She hosts the Better For It podcast, is a presenter and also runs workshops teaching women how to incorporate her “Move #5kEveryday” philosophy into their everday lives, either walking or running for five kilometres every day of the week.
It’s unclear exactly how long these two dated for, but the pair were first pictured together on Instagram in July 2017, and the last couple photo Katie posted of her former boyfriend was in April 2018.
Both of their feeds are still filled with happy couple snaps from their time together, as well as sweet messages of support to one another – and it’s also telling that both Katie and Mikey are still following each other on Instagram, so it’s likely their breakup was fairly amicable.
Look at those rigs!

The genetically blessed pair seem to still be on good terms.

“Happy 25th @katiewilllly !! you are one of a kind!” he wrote.
“You are incredibly genuine, extremely fierce but very kind and have the biggest heart I know. Thank you for being patient and understanding I’m one weird cookie. Lots of love 💕 Mikey.”

And on the couple’s first anniversary in February 2018, Mikey wrote on Instagram: “365 days , 5 countries and a life time of memories! What a first year, I love doing life with you!”
Katie also offered up an insight into her and Mikey’s home life, when she was asked to reveal what she eats in a day.
She revealed she ate chicken and sweet potato nachos for dinner, adding, “My boyfriend makes it with chicken breast and roasts sweet potatoes as the chips. We do that a lot and mix beans with it.”
We can’t wait to see the next woman Mikey gets matched with!
