Married at First Sight UK 2024 line-up in full

Watch: Get your first look at MAFS UK S9

Married at First Sight UK season 9 is ready to make its way back down the aisle, with a new batch of hopeful singletons ready to take a chance on love with a complete stranger.

For all those who have missed the drama of this long-running newlywed series, Married at First Sight UK (MAFS) lets science take the reins to use hard data to romantically pair two people who are looking for love. However, as its title suggests, each new couple will only meet for the first time on their wedding day, with the pair committing to a joint life together.

From there, the E4 show follows each couple’s ups and downs (emphasis on the downs) to see how many scientifically-matched couples make their pairings a forever thing and how many stumble right out of the gate.
