Hailing from the Caribbean, Orson Nurse is a Project Engineer from St Kitts and Nevis.

However, he is swapping all that to star in Married At First Sight's 2024 series.

Cherishing his heritage as a proud native of St Kitts, Orson
was raised by his mother and grandmother who instilled in him strong family values.

After dedicating his early life to playing cricket professionally, a career-ending injury forced him to retire and ultimately pursue a career in engineering.
