Fancy meeting your future partner at the altar and fighting to make it work? Here are all the details you need to apply to Married at First Sight UK.

In September 2024, after filming earlier in the year, we saw couples like Eve and Charlie, Polly and Adam, Orson and Richelle, and Holly and Alex tie the knot on the day they first met.

MAFS is the ultimate dating experiment, singles paired by relationship experts are given a range of tasks in the hopes they create a long-lasting relationship.

After meeting at the altar they say their vows in front of each other's friends and families before being whisked off to a surprise honeymoon destination. In 2024 some of the honeymoon locations included The Maldives, Jamaica, Italy and Mexico.

Once back in the UK the couples are expected to move in together and meet regularly with the other cast members for dinner parties and commitment ceremonies, which is where the real drama ensues.

While the break up rate is high, there have been some successful MAFS couples that have come out of the experiment. Here are a couple of examples:

Tasha Jay and Paul Liba

Adam Aveling and Tayah Aveling

  • After meeting on MAFS UK back in 2021, Adam and Tayah have gone from strength-to-strength and officially tied the knot in 2024 with their 13-month-old daughter present.
  • Recently Tayah reflected on how they met, saying: "[Adam] and I reminiscing of our time on MAFS, we often forget how we actually met and how unique it is, I often wonder what to say sometimes when we meet people who ask us how we met.. it deffo turns into an interesting conversation."
