Watch the trailer for Married at First Sight UK
Married At First Sight UK is gearing up for its fourth season on E4, and fans are desperate to get to know the new brides and grooms.
There will be plenty of drama and romance to look forward to as nine brides and seven grooms land the chance to meet the one in full view of millions of TV viewers.
MAFS’ ninth season overall comes after the reality series, which originally aired on Channel 4, found huge success after switching over to the sister channel.
E4’s next outing of the hit show promises more stunning wedding ceremonies and the newlyweds honeymoons are sure to be the envy of everyone who tunes in.
Plus, once they move in together, the couples will have to prepare for plenty of drama and some shocking decisions as they attend parties and eventually decide if they want to stay together.
Let’s take a closer look at the lucky men and women looking for love this year.
The Brides
Season nine will introduce Emma, 31, Sacha, 29, Kristina, 31, Eve, 31, Holly, 29, Charlie, 30, Richelle, 48, Polly, 28 and Lacey, 27.
Serial dater Lacey admits she’s been single for the past four years and has vowed “to get rid of all the f***boys” in her life, so her groom needs to be ready to impress.
Polly has rejected dating apps and wants to find someone emotionally available, while mother Richelle isn’t willing to settle for anything less than an “amazing” partner.
This season also introduces fans to lesbian brides Charlie and Eve, following the success of MAFS UK favourites Jenna Robinson and Zoe Clifton, who are still very much in love.
Charlie has been single for four years after a difficult relationship, while Eve was originally in a serious relationship with a man and was previously due to get married before coming out at 26.
Meanwhile, the pressure is on for mum-of-two Holly, whose parents are desperate for her to find her Prince Charming as she’s the last in the family to say “I do”.
Finally, Sacha has made the decision to become celibate until she finds the right man, but she won’t settle for anyone who doesn’t love cats.
The Grooms
The seven lucky lads this season are Adam, 33, Alex, 28, Caspar, 34, Kieran, 28, Nathan 24, Orson, 41 and Ross, 32.
This year’s youngest cast member, Nathan, still knows what he wants from a partner after growing “tired of dating gym bunnies and model”. He’s looking to start a big family and wants someone he can connect to on an emotional level.
Ex-professional cricketer Orson describes his two-year-old as the “light of his life” but admits he feels as if he’s “missing” the final piece; a partner.
Ross, who was born deaf, has never let his disability define him and has been engaged twice before. Will this be his third time lucky?
Hopefully, Caspar finds himself a dog lover as he lives with two faithful pooches in the New Forest. This gardener has never been in a serious relationship but signed up to MAFS to increase his confidence.
Finally, Alex has been a “man about town” most of his life but is ready to shed his reputation and settle down after seven months single. Will he find his perfect match?
Married At First Sight season 9 premieres this September on E4 and is available to stream on Channel 4.
