Australian soap actor Shannon Adams is the latest confirmed participant for MAFS 2023.
Adams is a model and actor, a single dad and counts acting credits in Blue Heelers, Neighbours and Rush on his resume, as reported by Daily Mail Australia. He was spotted filming his honeymoon at the Palazzo Versace on the Gold Coast.
“He’s a really great guy who loves his fitness and his little girl Milli,” the insider said.
In 2019, Adams competed against Maurice Salib for the Manhunt Australian Male Model of the Year title.
“I don’t want to be someone who’s just a model,” he said during the competition. “I want to be a role model to people and to eventually be the number one fitness role model in the country.”
Adams is the third groom to be revealed, so far it’s been reported that Oliver Skelton and Joshua White will star on the upcoming season.
Along with the abovementioned participants, five women; influencer Melinda Willis, podcaster Tahnee Cook, influencer Bronte Schofield, baker Alyssa Barmondem and childcare worker Claire Nomarhas will reportedly be part of next year’s cast. MAFS producers are allegedly “furious” that the identity of some of their upcoming brides and grooms have already been leaked.

“A series of early leaks revealing the brides online before the majority of the weddings have been shot has ruined the surprise element of the show,” a source told Yahoo! Lifestyle.
“The grooms have all been looking up the pictures and trying to guess which bride is theirs. Producers are furious.”
Last week, Daily Mail Australia published paparazzi shots of the women’s hens night being filmed for the upcoming season. Since then, more men and women have been captured on camera filming, and many of the cast members have since been identified.
Filming of season ten of MAFS reportedly began in August this year and is slated to premiere in early 2023. MAFS dominated ratings throughout season nine and was picked up in the US and the UK.
