Married At First Sight groom JJ in talks to join rival reality show after ‘wife swap’ scandal

MARRIED At First Sight groom JJ Slater's career in reality TV is only just beginning.

The Sun can exclusively report how the Essex businessman, 30, - who initially married Bianca Petronzi, 29, but later returned to the experiment with Ella Morgan, 29 - has "caught the eye" of another show.

JJ certainly has the makings of a lavish screen star, with his jet-setting lifestyle and posh nights out.

Now we can report how TOWIE bosses are eager to bring him on board.

A source was first to tell us: "JJ has made quite the impact on Married At First Sight, thanks to all the headlines generated by him ‘wife swapping’ with Ella, and he’s caught the eye of Towie bosses.

"They think he would be a perfect fit for their show - he’s from Essex, he looks good and having starred on MAFS, clearly knows how to bring drama.

"They have reached out to him and made it clear they’re interested in meeting with him, so watch this space."

The fashion designer stunned fans when he returned to the matchmaking experiment with Ella.

It came after their respective marriages ended during an explosive dinner party where the pair's secret texts were uncovered.

JJ claimed he was "drawn towards" Ella leaving his ex wife Bianca in bits.

She then furiously confronted the pair in front of the experts - with Ella's partner Nathanial having walked out - before making her dignified exit.

Meanwhile, following last night's emotional commitment ceremony, viewers were up in arms on JJ's behalf.

Ella was called out by her partner on the show for drinking too much and saying nasty things to him.

However, viewers felt like the experts focused on what JJ could do to make Ella feel better, disregarding her 'toxic' comments.

They took to X to slam the relationship therapists for not offering advice more geared towards Ella fixing her issues.

Ella's former MAFS husband Nathanial, who had been paired with her by the experts, had also mentioned similar issues with her drinking.
