Dinner parties are a staple on MAFS and it is one of the many activities viewers yearn for as they tune in each week.

But in an exclusive interview, Thomas Kriaras, who works in investment communications, revealed that despite the drama we see on screen, filming would sometimes go on for hours.

The 27-year-old said: “With the dinner parties, it goes on for so long if you give them nothing.

"If nothing happens, they keep going and going until they have something to capture.

"In the first few weeks, we all just got on, mostly, so that’s when the nights went on!”

Thomas is currently starring in the popular series and is married to Rosaline Darlington.

He has remained tight-lipped about how far he and Ros make it after the experiment but credits her with helping him regain his confidence.

"I wouldn't have got through it without Ros," he insists. "She gave me my spark back. I have to give her credit for that, and I feel really blessed.

"I am so grateful to her and viewers will see that we go on a massive journey.

"The lows are low, but the highs are bloomin' high."

The MAFS star also told The Sun how he secretly wanted to quit the show because of manipulative and competitive castmates.

While he didn't give any names away, he said how he couldn't cope with the "manipulation coming from other cast members."
