"Words cannot describe how proud I am of you, you didn't complain, not once you said you couldn't do it. Not even one curse word. You did better than good, mama."

Ning took part in season six of MAFS Australia in 2019, which is currently airing in the UK. She was paired up by the professionals with Mark Scrivens.

They got off to a rocky start on their wedding day with Ning candidly admitting at the altar, "I'm just here for the food." But the couple then had many up moments, including their trip to the Gold Coast.

Hairdresser Ning and ex-army officer Mark had a number of fiery rows on camera but looked as if they patched things up when they made it all the way to the commitment ceremony at the end of series six.

However, viewers saw things take a dramatic turn when Mark dumped Ning while giving his vows. He told Ning: "Ning, I came on here to find love, but I haven't found it with you.

"Even though my feelings for you are strong, I don't see these feelings being strong enough to survive for you after this experiment ends. And they aren't strong enough to ask you to move your entire life and three children to a new city, just for me."

Mum-of-three Ning has since found love with current boyfriend Kane Micallef, while Mark is now dating girlfriend Bianca Chatfield.
