Despite only being into the third week of series eight of Married At First Sight UK, drama has so far certainly been served by the cast members! Whilst the likes of Jay and Luke, and Tasha and Paul immediately hit it off at the altar, the same cannot be said for Ella and Nathanial, who have both dropped some major bombshells about the E4 show.

Now, as the original cast continue in the experiment, eight brand new intruder cast members are about to arrive to cause some trouble and shake-up the experiment.

Who are the new people on MAFS UK?
