The commitment ceremonies on Married at First Sight are always filled with plenty of drama and unexpected moments.
But one rather surprising revelation is how long it takes to film each couple's time in front of the experts.
Melissa Lucarelli, 38, told the Real Talk podcast on Wednesday that while on TV each couple appears for only a few minutes, it actually takes much longer to film.

'The commitment ceremonies go on for a long time so you're up there for a long time,' she said.
You can be up there for 45 minutes.
'Say the Ines and Bronson [drama]... imagine that for 45 minutes that's why my face was [all over the place],' she said referring to incompatible couple Ines Basic and Bronson Norrish.

Cyrell claimed some of her co-stars, including her 'husband' Nic Jovanovic, 28, are only on the show to boost their acting careers and increase their Instagram followers.
'...They're honestly thinking they're going to be the next Nicole Kidman and Brad Pitt... and they just want Instagram followers!' she said candidly.
'You guys think you're going to end up at the Oscars or something? This is like maximum six months... settle down.'
Cyrell claims she confronted Nic on the show, but producers haven't aired any of it to ensure that the seemingly down-to-earth electrician gets a 'good edit'.

'From day dot, I said to Nic 'you're here for fame',' she said.
'And that's what they're not showing, he would ask 'why aren't we getting [photographed] Cyrell?' and 'what do you think happens when you get more Instagram followers?'
'They don't air me calling him fake and wanting fame, they didn't air me saying to him 'if you're here for fame tell me, but don't make me look like a fool!'
Channel Nine are determined to top the success of season 5, which drew in an impressive 1.75 million viewers during the reunion finale - and so far the drama appears to be paying off.

During it's first week, the total cross-platform average viewership exceeded 2.139 million viewers.
However, viewers have begun questioning just how authentic the show really is.
From the unconvincing 'affair' between Ines Basic and Sam Ball to the bizarre pairing of self-proclaimed 'former lesbian', Lauren Huntriss, with 29-year-old virgin, Matt Bennett, many viewers are convinced the cast are paid actors.
'Look honestly the worst part of this is how little chemistry Ines and Sam actually have. Hire some better actors next time #MAFS,' one viewer tweeted.
