Has Mitch Eynaud returned to MAFS Australia?
Mitch made a surprising comeback to MAFS Australia in February 2024.
The star appeared on the 11th season of the show to help his brother Jayden who is following in his sibling's footsteps and taking part in the marriage experiment.
On the episode the brothers were seen shopping for suits as Mitch gave some advice to Jayden ahead of his marriage ceremony.
He also opened up about his own experience, telling the cameras: "I didn't trust the experiment and obviously looking back on it now, I wish I did trust it a bit more."
He added: "It was very difficult for me to open up and be myself and that's something I regret, but Jayden and I are very different... He's going to go all the way."

Jayden, who is a professional kickboxer and security guard, said of his sibling: "He's my brother, I love him to death, but when it comes to relationships we're very different."
Mitch's comeback didn't go down well with all UK viewers as some took to X - formerly known as Twitter - to question why he was back.
One fan posted: "Remember when Mitch said he hated cameras and being on film yet he is? #MAFSAU."
While another wrote: "Mitch has said more this episode than he did all of series 9. #mafsau."
I didn't trust the experiment and obviously looking back on it now, I wish I did trust it a bit more.

His ex Ella also gave her thoughts on Mitch's return and his revelation that he regrets his actions from his time on the show.
She told : "Unfortunately I don't necessarily buy it. I think he'd regret parts of the experiment but I think because he broke a lot of trust it's hard to believe that.
"It just seemed a little too perfectly said to me maybe I'm holding onto resentment who knows."
