Days ahead of the premiere of season ten of MAFS, Channel 9 has dropped a teaser clip during which one of the contestants calls herself a “freak in the sheets”.
“I may look like the girl next door but I like to see myself, actually, as a little freak in the sheets,” Melissa says in the clip.
She adds, “I’m no regular mum. Warning, warning! I’m sassy, loud and I love to spice things up. I love role playing. Sex is huge for me.”
“This is what 40 looks like,” she says.

“I don’t think anyone is a villain. They’re not characters out of a storybook, they’re real people that sometimes behave poorly,” she told Daily Mail Australia.
She added, “It doesn’t make them bad people. I think you can put the best meeting on a show like this, and the intensity of the experience makes people behave in a way that even surprises them.”
“I think season 10 will see some controversial people – absolutely.”
Relationship expert John Aiken, who councils the couples each week at the commitment ceremony, alongside Mel Schilling and Alessandra Rampolla, said that part of his job is to delve deep into the couple’s relationships, even when it’s uncomfortable.
“[We want] people discussing their relationships or their past patterns or how they want to do things differently,” he told the publication.
“I’m not there to take sides. I’m not there to be friends. I just literally have a role to play, which is to hold the mirror up to patterns because a lot of the people on the new series don’t have any insight into why they’re single, or what they’re like in a relationship,” he added.
“My role is very much to highlight that to them. Now, some of them will push back, they don’t want to hear it.”
“Others say, ”thank you very much, I’m gonna do it differently”, I love that role but I do it in a way which is not. Which is objective, I would say. Yeah, that’s my role.”
