Married At First Sight New Zealand star Andrew Jury has died, aged 33.

Jury was one of the original stars of the show, which aired in 2017, when he was just 26 years old.

He was paired with Vicky Gleeson-Stokes, however the pair split soon after the show.

The news was made public by his co-stars Benjamin Blackwell and Angel Renall on Instagram, with the pair sharing a sweet tribute in a joint post.

“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.

“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 based in Auckland.

On Sunday, Warner Bros Discovery, broadcaster of the show, released a statement about the death.
