Inside The Honesty Box's Lucinda Light's life - from MAFS Australia to impressive career
Lucinda Light is best known for her appearance on Married At First Sight Australia in 2024 - but the star has also had an impressive career away from reality TV
Lucinda Light has joined forces with Vicky Pattison to lead the brand-new E4 dating spectacle The Honesty Box, which made its debut on Monday (28th April).
The fresh series throws 12 hopeful singles into a villa, affectionately dubbed Truetopia, pairing them up and challenging them with trips to The Honesty Box. There, they must spill the beans about their romantic histories among other topics, all while a lie detector stands by to snare any fibbers.
Vicky is well-versed in the world of reality TV, and Lucinda is no newbie either, having gained fame from her stint on Married At First Sight Australia.
Let's delve into Lucinda's background, her MAFS journey, and what she gets up to when the cameras stop rolling....
Who is Lucinda?
Lucinda Light is a holistic counsellor, marriage celebrant, and a familiar face in reality television, reports OK!.
She penned the book Shine Your Light: A Guided Journal for Deepening Your Emotional Intelligence and has established herself as an inspirational speaker, travelling globally to talk about her life lessons and promote her "toolkit of grounding exercises".
With a hefty Instagram following of 642,000, Lucinda keeps her fans in the loop with regular updates on her professional endeavours and personal escapades.
Her appearance on MAFS Australia in 2024 significantly raised her public profile, with Lucinda expressing to Daily Mail Australia: "The amount of opportunities that have come my way has been beyond my wildest imaginings.
"I live in a quiet coastal town, so mostly I'm keeping things normal on a domestic level - cooking, enjoying nature, and getting good sleep. It's still quite surreal being recognised when I'm in Melbourne or elsewhere."
Lucinda's MAFS journey
2024 saw Lucinda grace the screens as one of the brides on Married At First Sight Australia. Paired with Timothy Smith for the E4 series, their union didn't spark the flames of romance.
While Timothy and Lucinda parted on amicable terms from the social experiment, it seems the friendship has since simmered down, with Timothy opting to block his former screen-spouse on all social media outlets.
Taking to TikTok, Timothy expressed: "I wish Lu all the best in the future and there is no question that sometimes people's paths take different directions. And that's where it is."
On the flip side, Lucinda took to Instagram sharing her sentiment: "In my heart, I've always held Tim with understanding and compassion. I take responsibility for any hurt I may of caused by sharing my feelings and hurts. There are no hard feelings my end and I still hold a lantern of hope for our friendship."
Lucinda entered into the world of MAFS hoping to secure a partner. Quite intriguingly, she confessed that prior to joining the show, she hadn't watched television in two decades, having seen the casting call on social media.
Speaking to The Spin Off, Lucinda recounted: "I needed something that would blast me into the stratosphere and really put myself out there. And of course, I wanted the husband."
Who is Lucinda dating?
Lucinda is reportedly flying solo at the moment, with no romantic entanglements on the horizon.
In a candid chat last year about her post-MAFS love life, she confessed to Heart: "I'm absolutely carving out time next year to date, because I am looking for my husband and you know."
She added, "I just want to meet someone that, yeah, we really get each other. I suppose our lifestyles are quite complimentary. And I mean, the truth is I don't really plan to slow down anytime soon."

Months on from when filming on MAFS wrapped, Awhina now appeared to confirm she's seeing her co-star. And even more so now, with Instagram official snaps shared on their socials. The pair enjoyed a cosy date night at a place named The Garden in Perth recently, and snapped some very romantic photos in the process. Both in black, they posed for a mirror selfie that saw stunning Awhina looking forwards, while Billy placed his arm around her front and she held onto it. She said: 'I'll keep this one 🤭' as the caption, sending the rumour mill into overdrive in the process. Awhina shared a string of date night snaps in the carousel, as they enjoyed small plates and red wine while dining out together. 'Adrian punching the air right now 😂,' one person responded in the comments, referencing her ex. Another person wrote: 'Yusss, I love how he is with your son. As a mum that's the ultimate most attractive attribute.' MAFS groom forced to deny cheating accusations after bride claims he had sex with another woman during show filming Someone else simply put: 'I am living for this ❤️.' The telling post comes after Awhina was spotted looking glam at a horse racing event in Perth. During the video, Englishman Billy - who starred on MAFS with his ex Sierah - makes an appearance. Awhina captioned the video: "Our exes ate a plate of meat, but who really ate?" The ex-bride's clip has sent fans into a meltdown as they flooded her with replies.

In awkward scenes, Sierah revealed that she ended up confiding in Adrian off screen. Billy felt betrayed because he had opened up to Sierah with an emotional letter about feeling rejected by his father, while she chose to open up to someone else. 5 Awhina shared a string of date night snaps in the carousel Credit: Instagram

New Garnethill gallery to celebrate city's graffiti scene
With the public opening of the space set for Friday the 6th of June, the duo is hard at work. Setting down his tools for a brief chat, Ciaran tells me: 'I've known Panda since I was 16. We've both been part of the street art and graffiti scene in Glasgow, and various other art scenes in the city for all of our adult lives. 'Whenever I'd speak to Panda about future dreams and plans we had, a gallery was always part of that equation — but it was a pipe dream.' Ciaran, who works as a sign painter, met Panda at college back in 2006. Sat behind a rough wooden counter with a box of Crimbles macaroons in arms reach, Panda adds: 'I've had my stall at the Barras for two and a half years. It was really close to Ciaran's studio — he'd come and visit a lot. We'd speak about how we wanted the city to change, and that planted the seeds of doing something together. 'One day I was walking past and noticed that the space was up for rent. I always imagined the side wall having a mural on it, but had never been inside before.' Panda at work in the new gallery. (Image: Gordon Terris) Panda points to the 2008 film Beautiful Losers, which documents the lives of street artists in New York, as the duo's 'North Star'. 'The film is about a lot of American artists from all sorts of backgrounds,' he notes. 'They forge a really beautiful community and become some of the biggest artists in America. 'We've been involved in this since we were so young, so it is strange that something similar hasn't happened here yet.' Panda says that Glasgow's sometimes-reticent attitude to street art has been sparked by the council's approach to graffiti. He pauses. 'Historically,' Panda explains, 'the council has been very conservative on street art and graffiti. They've had a zero tolerance approach, and spent the highest amount of any council in the UK in removing graffiti. 'But when you remove stuff, it makes things stagnant. Yet, over the last five years, things have begun to change, there have been a lot of murals springing up. I think most people are actually pretty positive about street art.' The duo have been friends for nearly 20 years. (Image: Gordon Terris) This sentiment has been echoed on social media, as 46,000 people have followed the gallery's transformation on Panda's Instagram account. Ciaran adds: 'The immediate community here in Garnethill have been super positive about us moving in, because this building has lay in a semi-dilapidated state for quite some time. 'The exterior was subject to a lot of wear and tear, so as soon as we started slapping paint on it, we got a great reaction - the neighbours loved it. 'We've only been working on it for one month, but it's been a complete team effort - inside and out. If it was just me and Panda doing it, we'd be nowhere near finished but everyone has chipped in — it shows how much people want this. 'We've had joiners, stonemasons, glazers, electricians, neon sign installers and others help out.'

Scot Gov refuses to say Top Scottish universities to review trans policies after Supreme Court ruling A crowd-funder set up to help with renovation costs raised nearly £12,000, with more than 300 people chipping in. The gallery will be open five days a week, Wednesday to Sunday; and sell affordable prints, merchandise, and artwork from close friends and fellow street artists. At the core of the gallery will be a rotating floor show each month, showcasing artists from across Glasgow. The first show, entitled 'Friends', is set to run between 6 June and 3 July. Panda says he hopes that the gallery will serve as a social space for Glasgow's arts community. The shop will be open five days a week. (Image: Gordon Terris) The artist has previously shared his experiences of drinking and drug-taking, and how committing to his work has helped to keep him sober. As a fitting tribute to the redemptive power of art, the gallery will open on the eight anniversary of Panda's sobriety. Panda tells me: 'We all used to hang out at the Art School union back in the day, and always went along to shows at Recoat gallery.' 'We want to create something similar — a regular community for artists. We want each show to be an excuse for people to come together.'
