Bronson Norrish’s ex-girlfriend Vanessa Romito is set to rock the new season.
Daily Mail Australia first revealed on September 11 that she was going to appear on the show, after she was spotted filming her ‘wedding’ to Chris Nicholls in Sydney.
During Bronson’s stint on MAFS – during which he was unsuccessfully paired with Ines Basic – Vanessa gained notoriety by repeatedly slamming him in a series of since-deleted YouTube videos.
But the businessman doesn’t hold a grudge, telling Daily Mail Australia: ‘Best of luck to her. I hope she has more luck on the show than I did.’
