Hey guys, welcome back to the LA era. Hope you guys are having an amazing day, an amazing week. How am I going? Look, I've got a seven month old teething baby girl with a rash and it is pretty gnarly, I'll be honest. But today... We have got the amazing Lucinda Light, who you guys all met two years, and so did I. We met two years ago on the Australian Married at First Sight season 11. And I mean, I fell in love with her and I feel like the whole country, plus let's say the globe has actually fallen in love with her. Now, she was not like anyone we'd ever seen on reality TV. In her 40s, completely unapologetically herself, deeply spiritual, wickedly funny, and absolutely magnetic. And then she left the experiment, and instead of disappearing like most reality TV personalities do...
She absolutely exploded. She's done a UK tour. She's got a book, a TV hosting gig with Vicky Patterson, a road trip around Ireland, and now celebs go dating on E4 in the UK. She has built a global career from one season of Australian reality TV, and I genuinely cannot wait to sit down with her today. This is Lucinda Light. I feel very privileged today and actually quite honoured to have the one and only Lucinda Light in the studio.
Well, I've just got to mirror that straight back at you because I feel deeply honoured to be here looking at the gorgeous Ella May Ding.
That's so weird. I never hear that. It's so beautiful.
I love your name in its entirety.
What inspired Lucinda Light to join reality TV?
It's great.
On that note, Lucinda, is your real surname Light?
No, it's Riley. So about 15 years ago, I was at a festival and because my name means light, Lucinda, it means like the sparkle on the champagne. Luz, Lucinda, Spanish, Latin.
Okay.
And somebody that I barely knew went, Lucinda Light. And it just struck me. It almost just hit my soul and just went, and I was like, oh my God, that's my name. Wow. You know, and actually I was christened Lucinda, but for the longest time I was called Lucy or Lou.
Wow.
And it was on my 33rd birthday I went, I'm going to reclaim my birth name, Lucinda. Wow. And it's sort of all, I don't know, it all transpired. Actually, it would have been about 10 years ago, 12 years ago.
Wow.
That Lucinda Light came down.
Like, isn't it funny how we do suit our names? Yeah. Like, it's funny how we do look like what our names are. But you really are just this light.
Oh, look, I have my moments. I mean, we all do. You can bet your bottom dollar.
But I feel like, you know, when I first met you on TV, when everybody first met you on TV, you are and were just this complete fresh energy. But light. And there's like... I mean, people have said it to me before, you know, like there's this light aura around you, but you just exude this energy that is so rare to come by. But it's true. Thanks for saying that, you gorgeous lady.
I appreciate that.
It really is true and you have so much light.
Thank you. Look, Lucinda Light, it's just such a fun name. It's a bit like Donald Duck, you know. It's light, light. I mean, because I'm quite theatrical, I've done lots of amateur theatre and, you know, a bit of cabaret and obviously I had The Celebrant, an MC component going. It's just a fun name.
Yeah. Yeah.
How did Lucinda Light transition from reality TV to a global career?
Wow. But yeah, it feels very me. Like I just don't feel like Lucinda Riley. Even I'm very proud of the life of Riley and Riley. Yeah. You know, the heritage of my family. I just, um, but I haven't actually changed it by depot. Maybe that might come.
Ooh.
Just can't be bothered with the admin anymore.
Oh, I mean, that's why I'm still ding. So it's been two years since you did Married at First Sight. Two, three years. Yeah.
Well, yeah, I mean, I was just thinking about that then three years since I got married, actually, and the filming happened.
That's right.
But, yeah, two and a half years probably since it came out. And what a wild ride it's been since.
I, like, what haven't you done? It's been a crazy two years. Like, I mean, wow, even when I just think back to you and Timothy. Such a character. Yeah. Bless you, Tim. We love you, Tim. Such an interesting cat.
Yeah, he is.
