The eighth season of Married At First Sight is set to air next month.

And while this year’s brides and grooms are yet to be officially introduced on screen, Bryce Ruthven has continued to fuel speculation he will be appearing on the show.

Returning to his Hit 104.7 Canberra radio show for the first time in three months, Bryce, 30, played coy when he was asked about the rumours by his radio co-hosts.

‘He’s back. Bryce, where have you been? You’ve been missing in action for what? three months now,’ asked Jason Roses.

To which Bryce replied: ‘I have been a bit M.I.A, I’ve got to apologise for that.’

‘The rumour is, because I think I’ve seen your face on a Married At First Sight promo. Can you confirm or deny if you’re going on the show this year?’ asked Jason.

No comment! 'I have been a bit M.I.A, I've got to apologise for that,' said Bryce

Ellie Mobbs replied: ‘Oh come on the guy looks ridiculously like you, and his name is Bryce.’

Bryce went on to explain that over the past few weeks he has been receiving a lot of messages with similar messages.

But it appears playing pretend wasn’t enough to convince listeners, with Jason letting slip that he and Ellie had attended a MAFS wedding late last year.

Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed that the avid sports fan would be appearing on the show.

Nine has promised that the upcoming season’s cast will be ‘the most genuine yet’. 

The eighth season of Married At First Sight will air on Nine in February
