Sionainn has joined Married at First Sight UK alongside new grooms Luke, Ryan and Stephen, and new brides Hannah and Amy.
Marrying father-of-one Ryan, Sionainn joined the experiment we've already seen couples like Alex and Holly, Adam and Polly, Kristina and Kieran, and Emma and Caspar begin.
After some initial reservations about Ryan's good looks at the altar, Sionainn bonded with him at their wedding breakfast when he revealed he's had bladder cancer twice after she opened up about losing her dad.
Before her MAFS stint, the bride said that she'd make a good bride because she's "funny" and can "make a joke out of anything". But what else is there to know about the bride who admitted her mum would love her to marry Harry Styles?
