Cyrell Paule Joins I'm A Celebrity 2026
In a bold move that has fans and critics alike buzzing, former Married At First Sight (MAFS) star Cyrell Paule has officially entered the jungle for I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2026. The reality TV veteran, known for her dramatic journey on MAFS, is now taking on the wilds of the South African jungle, facing some of the show's most iconic and challenging trials.
John Aiken Weighs In On Cyrell's Journey
Following her debut in Monday night’s episode, where she bravely participated in a bug and maggot-filled challenge and was forced to spend the night in the Elephant Graveyard, MAFS expert John Aiken shared his thoughts on Cyrell’s latest reality stint. The Channel 9 star, who has seen many MAFS participants transition into other reality shows, expressed his support for Cyrell and her decision to continue her career in the spotlight.
Aiken's Support for Former MAFS Stars
“I want them to get what they want and move on to bigger and better things, and I wish them all the best,” Aiken told PEDESTRIAN.TV. “I don’t typically have a huge amount to do with them after the show. Some go overseas to the UK — like Lucinda [Light] ended up over there — some go on to different reality shows, some become influencers, and I’m happy for them.”
The Importance of Commitment
Aiken admitted that while he’s aware participants often sign up to MAFS with an idea of the opportunities that can come after the show, his main concern is their commitment to the experiment. “All I’m wanting is that when they are on our show, I’m wanting them to throw themselves into it completely and open themselves up and really, at some stage, try and learn something about relationships,” he said. “Where I get frustrated is when they come on the show and after two days, they say, ‘Yeah, sorry, they’ve got blonde hair, I really wanted someone who was a brunette, so I’m out of here’, and they don’t really experience the experiment. I just want them to throw themselves into it and really open themselves up. That’s what I want.”
