Wereyouworriedabouthowyou’d

be portrayed on-screen?

Ifiguredoutquitequicklythatweallhave

ourown characters. Obviously I’m the social

media, socialite, bimbo-y type, but that’s fine.

There’sbeensomebuzzaboutsurgery...

Obviously I get filler in my lips. My mum’s from

PapuaNewGuinea,sonaturallythey’requite

big, but I’m all for a little bit of enhancement!

donewhenIwas18,

so nearly 10 years ago.

Have you spent

alot on surgery?

Icouldn’treallytellyou

howmuchI’vespent

on surgery... I’m lucky

Ihavefriendswhoworkintheindustry

so I kind of get looked after which is good!

So whyMAFS?

Iactuallygotapproachedbysomeonewho

thought I would be good on the show, which

isn’tsurprisingbecauseI’mthekindofcrazy

person that would do something like this!

I thought, I’ve got nothing to lose!

What was your love life like beforeMAFS?

I love a date! I love Tinder, love Bumble, love all

the dating websites. It’s not like I have trouble

finding dates, it’s just finding quality, you know?

I have been single for four years, since my last

seriousrelationship.ButI’m26now,Ireally

knowwhatIwant,andIdon’twanttowaste

mytimewithallthesepeoplethataren’tforme.

Andyou’vehadnothingserioussince?

All the others were just randoms. I can

honestly say I’ve definitely never been in

lovebefore.Never.There’sjustbeen no-one

whoreallyinspiresme,ever.

So you turned toMAFStofind The One?

I didn’t have many expectations. It’s a reality

TVshow–I’mnotsilly,

it wouldn’t surprise

me if I got paired with

adouche.Butinthe

back of my mind I was

like,‘Shit,whatifthis

guyistheloveofmy

life?’ So I was hopeful.

To do something as

crazy as this, you have

to go into it with an

open heart and mind.

Tellusalittlebit

aboutyourTVhusbandRyan...

Walkingdowntheaisletowardshim,Iwas

quitehappyvisually–he’sreallygoodon

theeye.He’satall,manlyman,greatbuild.

And when you actually met him?

He spoke a lot through the ceremony, so

my first impressions weren’t overly great.

Hecameacrossstraightawayasalarrikin

anditmademefeellikehewasn’treally

taking it seriously. I was like, ‘Shut up, man.

You’re embarrassing me and I’ve only known

you for like two minutes!’

Didyouhearalarmbellsatthatpoint?

I’mallforhavingalaugh,butIappreciate

aput-together man. I’m sick of dating

boys.SoassoonasImetRyanIthought,

‘AmIjustgoingtobedatingakid?Isthis

what I’ve signed up for?’ But my opinions

startedtochangethroughouttheday.

So you started to see him differently?

I think the champagne helped! When we

were doing our photos, I was able to chat to

him and understand him better. The good

thing about Ryan is he does make you feel

comfortable, so it was easier for me to relax

as the day went on. And I started to see there

is more to him than his crazy, out-there side.

You’ve said you’re ‘picky’ with guys.

Didyou worry that you weren’t giving

Ryanarealchance?

If I met Ryan in the real world, I probably

wouldn’t text him back. I would be like,

‘Catch ya, you’re not my kind of guy.’ But

I put myself on this show to adult my way

througharelationshipandIhavetotrust

the experts know what they were doing.

Any romance on the wedding night?!

Wedidhaveapash...ItwasOK.Like,Idon’t

even know the guy, it’s not like he’s wooed

me on a date. He snored very aggressively,

Ifyou found someone else’s hubby

attractive, would you act on it?!

Totally–it’sanexperiment,soanythingcan

happen. If you find someone else attractive,

you can’t help it... It might not necessarily be

thebestthing,butyou’rethereforareason,

and if it’s happening, then it’s happening.

Iwouldn’ttext

him back

Having not lived with a guy before, Davina

admits she was nervous about launching

into a ‘marriage’ with tradie Ryan. ‘You put

a lot of expectations on yourself, like, “Am

I supposed to love you straightaway?” And

she’s still not sure about their dynamic. ‘We

are always in this constant battle of figuring

out if we’re married or if we’re like brother

and sister,’ Davina spills. ‘Our relationship

is very exciting slash explosive. It’s bizarre

for me as I don’t usually fight with people.’

‘WE’RE LIKE

SIBLINGS’

BROTHERORBEAU?THEPAIR’S

BOND IS, ER, COMPLICATED...

‘Ryan and I fight

about anything.

It’s an emotional

roller-coaster!’
