The 2025 series of MAFS UK has started filming
Series 10 will air later this year!
Although it was one of the most dramatic to date, thanks to couples like Ross and Sacha, Alex and Holly, Polly and Adam, and Amy and Luke, series nine of Married At First Sight UK has gone down in the show's history as one of the least successful to date, with no couples actually making it in the real world.
But as we await the second reunion from the series nine gang, it seems bosses aren't hanging around, as filming for the 10th series is now underway!
Making the exciting announcement on social media, relationship expert and all-round MAFS Queen Mel Schilling shared a photo of herself on set. Tagging her glam team, Mel wrote: 'Let’s go! MAFS UK 2025 🇬🇧'. (sic)
Understandably, fans of the award-winning dating show were quick to comment on Mel's post, with many expressing their excitement for the next instalment of love and drama.
One wrote: 'AHHHHHH OMG 😍 EXCITING!! Also looking stunning ❤️❤️ x', with another adding: 'Our favourite time of the year 🙌❤️ Can’t wait'. A third wrote: 'Yayy!! It's coming back on😍❤️ love it! Can't wait'. (sic)
