Paul continued: "We are so hands on with the couples this year and go into their apartments to guide them along the way, which is a first."
"I do try to stay calm and remain a voice of reason though," he smiled: "' I have a lot of Oatley chai latte coffee on set to keep me going!"
Paul revealed the experts are still reeling from last year's MAFS where controversial contestants Whitney and Matt left their original spouses to become a new couple.
Celebs Go Dating star Paul recalled: "We were filming in the same location where Whitney and Matt told us they were an item last year, and the energy in that room today is still off."

"People come up to me all the time and tell me they love it which is fantastic.
"They even say they are looking forward to it more than Love Island."
