A blockbuster season of Married at First Sight UK is on its way, with a fresh batch of singletons hoping to find The One in an unconventional way.

A cast of 16 singles looking for love has now been revealed, including a Dreamboy, a social worker, a dental hygienist and a waitress.

The hopefuls will be heading down the aisle in the search of love when MAFS UK returns on E4 for a longer season of 30 episodes.

They will meet their potential soulmate for the first time on their wedding day and say “I do” to a complete stranger in the hope of finding that special connection before putting their relationship to the test: heading on a honeymoon and then moving in with each other and their fellow couples.

The 16 singletons lined up for this year’s season feature confident and caring northerner Adrian, 37, who’s a digital designer, 31-year-old Pjay, who is a dancer for the male strip show Dreamboys, who says: “I’ve got a lot of love to give and I just want to give it 110 per cent.

The line-up of grooms also includes: Recruitment HR Coordinator Duka, 31; Financial Advisor George, 40; Account Manager Jordan, 29; Business Consultant Kwame, 42; Sales Advisor Richie, 51 and Mental Health Care Assistant Thomas; 31.

When it comes to the brides, we have social worker Chanita, 29, who came out of a 10-year relationship a couple of years ago and is now ready to meet her future partner, and Jenna, 32, a zero waste shop owner from Blackpool who says MAFS is the only way she’s going to find love!

“I don’t like dating apps and I don’t go out anywhere to meet anyone, so this is the only way I’m going to find love… hopefully!” she says.
