Married At First Sight Australia’s Lauren Dunn has announced a shocking new career move.
The public relations expert, 32, has signed with one of the country’s leading celebrity talent managers, SF Celebrity Management.
But it looks like Lauren won’t be following in the footsteps of many other MAFS alumni, like Tahnee Cook and Ella Ding, who have used their platform to become influencers and brand ambassadors.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Australia, a source close to Lauren’s management said she has already had some big brands and advertising campaigns, however, “she’s not looking to become an influencer.”
Instead of simply working with brands on social media, Lauren, who was paired with Jono McCullough on the reality dating show, hopes to launch “a career in television media.”
