Hold on to your bouquet, as TV’s most exciting, daring, drama-packed relationship format is back!
After a record breaking run last series, Married at First Sight UK is returning bigger than ever before. At 36 episodes, this will be the largest series to date and the show’s longest ever run.
The couples will make a lifelong commitment to one another at a glamorous ceremony, overseen by a wedding celebrant, that includes guests, bridal gowns, dancing, speeches and cake.
After the ceremony and celebrations are over, true love is well and truly put to the test, as they embark on a luxurious honeymoon, before moving in with each other AND their fellow couples.
Relationships will be put under the microscope, by fellow brides and grooms at weekly dinner parties – as well as by the experts, at recurring commitment ceremonies, where couples choose whether they want to stay in or leave the process.
All this and more will build to a dramatic series finale: glossy, high-stakes vow renewals, in which each couple must decide if they will recommit to their partner or go their separate ways, for good. Across the process, the couples will be matched and guided by returning experts Melanie Schilling, Paul C. Brunson and Charlene Douglas.
Married at First Sight UK returns, and ceremonies commence on Monday 18th September at 9pm on E4.
