MAFS Australia's Final Test Week will reportedly see couples given the opportunity to swap their partners. The twist is described as "an international MAFS first, where the participants will be confronted with the age-old question, 'is the grass greener on the other side?'"

Producer Alexandra Spurway said: “There is a choice that the individual has to make, and it’s make or break for their relationship. So it tests our couples in a way that makes them think about whether or not they’re going to make it work or yeah on the outside."

Meanwhile, fellow MAFS Australia producer Josh Walsh teased: "It has a big impact on at least one or more couples."

No other details about the partner swap twist have been revealed but, in an interview with Mamamia, expert John Aiken teased: "The twist at the end of the final test week, and some of their choices around that final test week are very surprising."

"It's never been done before on the MAFS experiment. There is a choice that is made by each individual, and that choice impacts their relationship dramatically."

MAFS Australia airs on E4 on Monday 9th March at 9pm.
