Controversial 'Married At First Sight' star in talks for another dating show after 'Only Fans' shock admission
A ‘Married at First Sight UK’ groom who shocked his wife by telling her he wouldn’t mind if she signed up to ‘Only Fans’ could be set for a second chance at love.
Georges Berthonneau appeared on reality dating show MAFS last year and was matched with Peggy Lawrence. He raised the eyebrows of both his wife and viewers on a few ocassions; firstly explaining that he would do things on webcam for his online followers for ‘baguettes’, and then telling Lawrence he would be fine with her posting content on adult website ‘Only Fans’.

Now, it seems that 30-year-old Berthonneau could be set to take part in another reality TV dating show in a bid to find lasting love - E4’s ‘Celebs Go Dating’.
A TV source exclusively told ‘The Sun’: “Bosses have approached Georges and chatted to him about a potential spot on Celebs Go Dating.
"They think he was so entertaining on MAFS and he’s a lovely guy to boot, so they are confident viewers will want to see him have his happy ending after things didn’t work out with Peggy.

E4 have not yet commented on the claims, and Berthonneau has not spoken out publicly about them either.
Regular viewers of ‘Celebs Go Dating’ will recall that if the rumours are true it will not be the first time that Berthonneau has been on the show. Back in 2018 he was one of the everyday [people who was paired up with a celeb in the hope of sparking romance.
Back then, he was coupled up with ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star Chloe Sims, now 42. He expressed his desire to get married, telling Sims that he had just been to the South of France for his brother's wedding.

Flirting with Sims, he added: “"Personally, I would have loved to have invited you to be my guest." Sims laughed and replied: "Why didn't you Georges?'" He said: "Well, I didn't get the opportunity."
The couple went on three dates, but didn’t pursue a relationship.
If Berthonneau does appear on the show againit would be slightly different, of course. This time he would be the famous face and would have an opportunity to go on dates with different non-celebrity women, as his stint on hugely popular show MAFS has awarded him some fame.
