MARRIED At First Sight UK is about to return for the ninth series of the E4 relationship experiment.
Last year’s series of MAFS UK was the most dramatic yet, as Ella Morgan cheated on Nathanial Valentine with fellow groom JJ Slater – who is now rumored to be engaged to Katie Price.
In addition to the love triangles, Luke Worley was kicked out of the series after a physical altercation with Jordan Gayle.
Now a new batch of brides and grooms are ready to take the plunge and marry a complete stranger on TV – but will they find their happily ever after?
