As 2024 speeds by, we know it’s that time of the year again as Married At First Sight UK promos begin to appear on our social feeds.

Channel 4 has posted an exclusive clip from the upcoming series of the hit reality show and it's already looking like it’s going to be ridiculously dramatic as we’re introduced to Kristina and Kieran, the groom who decided to play a prank on his wife… during their first meeting on their wedding day.

And viewers won't have long to wait to watch the awkwardness unfold, as Married at First Sight UK returns on 16th September.

Fans can expect Mel Schilling, Paul C Brunson and Charlene Douglas to return as the relationship experts for the new cast of brides and grooms on the show, and after the delicious drama that MAFS Australia served up earlier in the year, expectations are high for the ninth season of the UK version.

So when does MAFS UK 2024 start? When and where will you be able to watch it? Here’s what we know so far.
