Series six of Married at First Sight UK has kicked off on E4, and we’ve been introduced to some of the new couples ready to say “I do!” when they meet for the first time.
One of those couples is Dan and Matt, who are the first gay couple to be featured on the UK series.
After a failed relationship, Matt, 39, was looking for the one, while Daniel, 27, was hoping to find someone who shares similar passions to him.
