For those who don't know, refers to a pre-show rehearsal where a group of people who applied or were scouted, move into the villa to test out all the production elements before the actual cast arrive. Some of them will in fact make it to the main cast, with Casa Amorbombshells Lauren and Ty from this season revealing they had met in there before.

Now, Erica has revealed she was in a dry run a year before MAFS, which is how she got scouted for the E4 show. Taking to TikTok, she said: “I was actually meant to go on Love Island. I got flown out to Majorca. This was the year before," explaining that "essentially it's actually an audition for Casa Amor".

However, Erica said she would never have wanted to go into Casa, and would have turned it down if it was offered to her.

"So the girl that cast me for Love Island then got back to me a couple of months later and was like, 'Erica, please, please, please, can I put you forward for MAFS?'

"Initially, I was like, absolutely not. Nah, it's not the show for me. I don't think I want to do that. I'm good. They contacted me again not long after, maybe two months later, and I was in a bit of Heartbreak Hotel so when she came to me, I was like, yes, yes, let's do it," she continued.

“But I'm gonna be honest, I really didn't think anything of it at first. I was like, you know what? F*** it. Let's just do it."

Elsewhere on her TikTok page, Erica revealed that the cast had absolutely no idea where they were going on honeymoon beforehand, but were told by producers what type of clothes to bring.

"People that ended up going to like, Lapland, they would have been told to bring warm clothes. Honestly if they sent me somewhere like that I'd be so fuming. I got to go to Antigua and it was unreal!"

Former MAFS groom Thomas Kriaras joked in the comments: "When they told me I needed to bring a jacket for my honeymoon, I was fuming!"
