Full cast revealed for Married At First Sight UK

The show will welcome it's first gay couple this series

Author: Nathan KatnoriaPublished 17th Aug 2021

Married At First Sight UK is back and better than ever with a brand new series, as a fresh batch of singles look for love and hope they find their happy-ever-after with a complete stranger.

Taking inspiration from the Australian series, whose dramatic sixth season had us all OBSESSED earlier this year, MAFS UK will follow eight couples as they meet for the very first time at the altar.

The couples will make a lifelong commitment to one another at a glam ceremony before their love is well and truly put to the test as they embark on a luxury honeymoon, before moving in with each other AND their fellow couples.

Their relationships will be put under the microscope – by both their fellow brides and grooms and relationship experts Melanie Schilling, Charlene Douglas and Paul C. Brunson – at weekly dinner parties and recurring commitment ceremonies, where couples choose whether they want to stay in or leave the process.

Finally, at the end of the series, the couples will have to decide whether to recommit to their partner or go their separate ways in a high-stakes vow renewal.
