She was hoping for romance, but what she got was a one-way ticket to Nightmare Island.
Stranded On Honeymoon Island’s Amy Dickinson has opened up about her wild ride on Channel Seven‘s new reality dating experiment.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday, Amy, 30, revealed that she was left ‘petrified’ after being matched with motorsport presenter Mike, 37, and knew almost immediately that their honeymoon was going to be anything but blissful.
‘I called it Nightmare Island immediately,’ she admitted.
‘As soon as I got to the island, I kind of realised what I’d got myself into… I had a little panic attack.’

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday, Amy, 30, revealed that she was left ‘petrified’ after being matched with motorsport presenter Mike, 37, and knew almost immediately that their honeymoon was going to be anything but blissful
Despite feeling an instant spark with another contestant during the chaotic two-minute speed dating round, Amy was blindsided when she was paired with Mike – and the red flags started waving before they even reached their bamboo hut.
‘In his vows, he made a comment about hoping his future wife could make a better sandwich than his mum,’ she revealed.
‘He claimed he wrote it when he was seven, but that was obviously a lie. I don’t like liars – and I definitely don’t like misogynists.’
But it was a surprise video message from Mike’s ex that truly sealed the deal.
‘She said he needed to learn to listen and not just talk – which was exactly what I experienced,’ Amy said.
‘Honestly, I think she’s a legend. I’d grab a cocktail with her any day.’
The influencer, who joined the show hoping the experts would have better taste in men than she does, said she’s had her fair share of toxic relationships.
‘I’ve dated pathological liars, narcissists – the works,’ she laughed. ‘So I figured the experts probably couldn’t do worse.’
‘I called it Nightmare Island immediately,’ she admitted. ‘As soon as I got to the island I kind of realised what I’d got myself into… I had a little panic attack’

Still, she tried to give the experience a fair go.
‘You’re stuck together – there’s no escape,’ she said. ‘You have to solve problems and survive together. It’s totally unconventional, but you kind of bond over the chaos.’
And surprisingly, going 21 days without her phone wasn’t the biggest challenge.
‘I didn’t even miss it – which is crazy for me to say,’ she confessed.
‘There were so many other distractions. Being stranded with someone you’re not vibing with is way harder.’
So did Mike go on the show for love, or just for airtime?
‘I think he probably had multiple motives,’ she said. ‘Honestly, most of us did.’
When asked what viewers can expect from the series, Amy teased: ‘Drama. Tears. Chaos. It’s so raw.’
‘It’s like MAFS on steroids. With MAFS, you kinda know what to expect now – cheating scandals, wine throwing – it’s textbook.
‘But with Stranded, no one knew what was coming next. Not even us.’
Stranded On Honeymoon Island continues Tuesday at 7.30pm on Seven
