Was she in it for love or fame? Married At First Sight’s Mishel Karen thrives in new career as an Instagram influencer after signing with a major PR agency
Married At First Sight fan favourite Mishel Karen has been going from strength to strength since leaving the controversial social experiment.
While many of her former co-stars have struggled to capitalise on their fifteen minutes of fame, Mishel has snapped up by a major PR agency and effortlessly transitioned into a new job as a social media influencer.
The 48-year-old has already shared sponsored posts for a fashion rental service and a skincare brand with her more than 90,000 followers.

Not content to just stick with Instagram, Mishel has also amassed over 3000 followers on TikTok.
Her first video on the app, which shows her going down a slide at Luna Park, has racked up more than 430,000 views.
Noticing her social media clout, Mishel caught the interest of PR and marketing agency Modern Currency, who signed her to a deal last week.

In an Instagram post, Mishel said: ‘Yes! I signed with a PR agency. Why? Simple… I don’t know what I’m doing!’
The owners of Modern Currency also issued a statement on social media.
‘We’re so excited to be representing the beautiful and incredible powerhouse that is Mishel,’ they wrote.

While Mishel’s fame may appear to have happened overnight, her success has been much longer in the making.
The mother-of-two applied for a previous season of Married At First Sight and got far in the process, but didn’t end up making the final cast until this year’s season.
Considering her outrageous application for season seven, it’s no surprise that producers finally saw Mishel’s star quality and cast her.

In her audition video, the 48-year-old confessed that she was ‘pansexual’ and had dated another woman before.
She also said that sex was important to her in a relationship and that if her man wasn’t delivering in the bedroom, she’d have no problem telling them to their face.
According to Perth Now, Mishel also fibbed about her age in her audition, before later admitting the truth.
