Chatting to us from her home in Melbourne, Married at First Sight’s girl’s girl and all-round legend, Ella May Ding, is on a high.
The 29-year-old’s got her super-popular podcast Sit With Us with her bestie Domenica Calarco, the viral sex toy they both created, and now, she’s landed the plum role of narrating the second season of Love Triangle – a dating show which challenges singles to choose their perfect person sight unseen.

Tell us about Season 2 of Love Triangle. What’s different this time around?
Well, the twist is nothing like it was in Season 1. Everyone thinks they know what’s coming – even I thought I knew! Season 2 is going to be different in a whole other way, and look, there are bombshells that will rock some socks off.
Were you a fan of the first season?
Yeah, I was. When I heard it was the same production team as MAFS, I thought, surely this is going to be great. I loved Season 1.
What do you love about it?
I love that it’s short and sharp. The investment with MAFS is hectic. You know, four times a week is a massive commitment to watch a show. Love Triangle is short and sharp, but you still get so much in, in such a short series.
It must pack some punch.
When people say reality is scripted, maybe for some it is kind of acting, but the drama and the commotion in MAFS and Love Triangle, you can’t script this stuff. They cast certain personalities for a reason and they have a role to play, but the things that happen on camera, it just happens. It’s magic, and a goldmine – but it’s real stuff.
Have you ever been in a love triangle?
That’s an interesting question. I mean, yeah, probably. I’ve definitely been in situations where I know I like a guy and he’s probably out there with more than one. I’d call that more than a love triangle.
Since you’ve been in the spotlight, what have you learned about relationships?
It forced me to grow up and understand my tendencies, my attachment styles, and maybe why I was single for a decade before the show.
And now you’ve found the man of your dreams?
Now I’m in a very healthy relationship that, I mean, it might sound so cliche, but I literally feel like my relationship is one in a million. I know a lot of people say that about their relationship, but that’s how I feel now. I am in a beautiful relationship with a very low-key, no blue tick, plumber from Melbourne. He’s just the best.
You’re living your best life!
My life is not how I imagined it would be!
In more ways than one – you and Dom have your podcast too. And you guys also brought out a very popular sex toy!
I’ve been using a vibrator since I was 19, purely because I was single for 10 years and I wanted to understand my body more. I’m such an advocate for self-love and it plays a massive role in my self-confidence.
