MAFS Australia season 8: As Coco ruffles feathers, meet the rest of the cast

The E4 show is back and we couldn't be more excited!

MAFS Australia season 8 is airing on our screens right now after it returned last night (October 4).

The series originally hit TV screens Down Under earlier this year where it bowed to blockbuster ratings.

Last night, bride Coco ruffled a few feathers and clashed with fellow bride Samantha.

She also made an impression during a sneak peek for tonight’s episode (October 5) at the end of the show.

But as Coco appears to become one of the biggest characters on the show, here are the rest of the contestants who are praying they will find love.
