Married at First Sight stars Shona Manderson and Matt Pilmoor have addressed rumours that they’re engaged after fans spotted what they thought might just be a telling sign...
Fans of the show will know Shona was originally married to Brad Skelly, but they had to leave the experiment after experts grew concerned about their relationship.
They tried to give things a go on the outside world, but eventually decided to call it quits.

A twist then came when Shona confirmed she was in a relationship with Matt – who was initially paired with Adrienne Naylor – telling OK!: "We have a really healthy, happy, safe, fun, relationship - I really appreciate Matt so much, it’s what I deserve, we deserve each other.
“I’m proud to be his girlfriend and it just works."
She had also previously penned a cryptic Instagram post saying she had met the ‘kindest soul’ who loved her ‘just the way’ she is.

“It’s what I deserve,” Shona added.
Since then, the couple have proudly flaunted their new love on social media, including recent celebrations for Matt’s 30th birthday.
But some fans were convinced they were marking an equally big milestone yesterday, after a smiling selfie of the couple popped up on their timelines.
“Christmas came early this year,” Matt captioned the carousel of two pictures, snapped at a Christmas lights event.

In the first picture, Shona is resting her hand on Brad’s chest, with a ring on her fourth finger.
“Congratulations, I'm so happy for you both,” one fan commented.
Someone else said: “Congratulations you need a happy ever after. Merry Christmas.”

Another wrote: “Fan bl**dy tastic!! Congratulations to you both.”
A fourth asked: “Is this an engagement ring? If soooo congratulations.”
It didn’t take long before Shona felt she had to respond to the kind words, clarifying that they weren’t betrothed – not yet, at least.
“Thanks lovely not engaged,” she told one person, writing to another: “Not engaged!!”

Many others, however, were just thrilled that the two reality stars had found happiness together.
“I love how happy you both are. Beautiful people inside and out who deserve their happy ever after,” one person told them.
Another agreed: “Hope you both have the best first Christmas together.”
