John Robertson returns to Married at First Sight Australia season 5
After being rejected by his bride in season four, the 55-year-old is coming back for a second shot at love.
Star of Married at First Sight Australia's John Robertson will be returning to season five for another chance at finding love.
The 55-year-old groom and father-of-two, who is the oldest contestant to take part on the show so far, left the last series early when his TV wife Debbie, 53, ended their relationship before their marriage had barely begun. Yoga-loving Debbie got cold feet when she decided that she wanted a partner of Polynesian descent.
John was popular amongst viewers with his fun and laid-back nature, with fans keeping everything crossed that the show's relationship experts will find him a more compatible partner this time around.
"They asked me back," John told TV WEEK. "I thought, 'Why not?'. I still haven't found love. I had a good experience last time even though me and Deb didn't work out so I thought I might as well give it another shot."
On his hopes for this series, he added: "I wanted chemistry. I don't have a type. They can be blonde, brunette, whatever. They've gotta be shorter than me. I like a nice easy, fun filled life so someone laid-back, I don't want someone who is bossy or nagging."
