Married at First Sight UK star Kieran Chapman pulled a prank on his new bride at the altar upon their first meeting.

The E4 reality show returned on Monday (September 16) with its ninth season, with experts Paul C Brunson, Charlene Douglas and Mel Schilling presiding over the latest singletons hoping for a shot at love.

In the season premiere, Kieran – a 28-year-old mechanic from Newcastle – was paired up with Kristina Goodsell, an energetic 31-year-old dog walker from East Sussex.

Ahead of their first meeting, Kieran’s brothers remarked that he often liked to play the role of the jester, and he lived up to his billing as he organised a surprise for his bride-to-be as they met at the altar.

As Kristina entered the hall adorned in white, Kieran slipped a fake set of teeth into his mouth, reasoning that it would test his bride’s sense of humour as he remarked: “This could really end up bad, but I want to know if this girl is fun.”

“These teeth – what the f**k. Oh shit.” said a confused Kristina in the VT, with Kieran keeping up the ruse for a few more seconds in order to preserve the suspense, with a few of the attendees attempting to keep their laughter in check.

Kieran eventually removed the teeth as Kristina howled in laughter, with the groom saying: “Awww, you look petrified. You looked so lost. I’m so sorry. I could see how scared you were, I thought ‘I’ve got to take them out now’.”

The prank was commented upon by several fans on social media, with one writing on X/Twitter: “I can’t decide if the teeth thing is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen or the most abysmal thing #MAFSUK.”

“The teeth, oh my god the teeth have me screaming. The way I’d instantly feel comfy with that guy after that. #MAFSUK,” wrote a second fan, with a third adding: “Omg #mafsuk haven’t laughed so much in ages, those teeth love these two already.”
