This year’s Married At First Sight cast are in a frenzy of panic ahead of the 2025 Logie Awards, after learning that only a small handful of them will be invited to attend the glittering ceremony.

Set to take place on August 4 in Sydney, the event will once again be hosted by Channel Seven, leaving some Channel Nine stars sweating over their invite status.

Daily Mail Australia can reveal that only a few of this year’s breakout stars have made the cut, despite MAFS 2025 scoring strong ratings and widespread attention.

Those tipped to attend include Jamie Marinos, Awhina Rutene, Rhi Disljenkovic, Jeff Gobbels, Tony Mojanovski, Ryan Donnelly, Carina Mirabile, Eliot Donovan, Beth Kelly and Teejay Halkias.

All ten stars have remained in good standing with Nine and have been spotted at recent promotional events, making them the obvious choices to represent the show and network.

Should Channel Nine be feeling generous Katie Johnston and Ashleigh Ackerman will also be considered.

Meanwhile, relationship experts John Aiken and Alessandra Rampolla will once again attend the awards to officially represent the series, while Mel Schilling has been invited but is yet to confirm her appearance.

Insiders say the decision to limit the guest list has caused serious tension within the cast.

‘Everyone’s panicking and desperate to go,’ one source told Daily Mail Australia.

‘Some of them acted like saints during filming thinking it would secure them a Logies invite – now they’re hearing they didn’t make the cut and they’re furious.’

Those who’ve been left off the invite list include Morena Farina, Lauren Hall and Sierah Swepstone.

Despite still being together, Jacqui Burfoot and Clint Rice won’t be receiving an invite following their controversial stint on the show.

Perth groom Paul Antoine, Tim Gromie, Adrian Araouzou and Veronica Cloherty also didn’t make the list.

‘There’s already drama bubbling behind the scenes,’ the insider continued.

‘People are reaching out to stylists, PRs and brands trying to bluff their way in – but it’s not happening.’

The snubbing of certain cast members is a sharp reminder of last year’s backlash, when only past participants Evelyn Ellis, Jules Robinson and Cameron Merchant were invited to the 2024 ceremony – with the rest of the MAFS cast allegedly being blacklisted by producers for proving ‘too difficult’ post-show.

This year, it’s clear that behaviour and ongoing cooperation with the network have played a major role in who made the cut.

‘It’s a reward system. If you’ve stayed on good terms with Nine, played ball, and showed up to events – you’re in. If you’ve caused headaches or gone rogue, you’re out.’

With the Logies just weeks away, the cast are still anxiously waiting for final confirmations – but insiders say the current list is unlikely to change.

It comes as comedian Sam Pang was confirmed to be returning as host for the third time in three years.

Sam’s cheeky and irreverent comedy as host last year and in 2023 proved to be a big hit with audiences and TV’s A-list as well as a major ratings winner for Seven.
