Married At First Sight star Andrew Jury has died aged 33.
The builder was one of the original grooms on the first season of the New Zealand series, which aired in 2017 when he was 26-years-old.
His co-stars Brett and Angel Renall and Benjamin Blackwell announced the shock death in a joint Instagram post.
‘It’s with the heaviest hearts we’ve come together to acknowledge the passing of Andrew Jury,’ their statement read.
‘We had the absolute pleasure of filming and participating in a show which leaves us intricately linked for a lifetime.

‘Despite his struggles, Andrew was always friendly and the life of the party during our shared experience and he really valued his time on the show.’
They added: ‘At this time our entire cast wish to send our deepest condolences and love to his family – Ben, Angel, Brett, Vicky, Haydn, Lacey, Claire, Dom, Aaron, Luke, Belinda.’
Jury was paired with bride Vicky Gleeson-Stokes on the series, and while the pair stayed together during the finale, they split after filming ended.

Jury was based in Auckland when he was cast on the series, and described himself as an outgoing, charming and spontaneous person.
Warner Bros Discovery, which broadcasts MAFS in New Zealand, expressed its ‘deepest condolences’ to his loved ones, as reported by the New Zealand Herald.
‘WBD takes duty of care extremely seriously and has protocols in place regarding the wellbeing of cast and crew,’ a spokesperson said.
‘All MAFS NZ contributors have access to mental health professionals throughout the process, including pre-screening, during production and after broadcast.’
