Married At First Sight UK teases drama in Christmas special

Married At First Sight has announced a Christmas special that will bring back some much-loved contestants from series one and two.

Series one’s Alexis, Amy and Nikita and Zoe and Jenna, Chanita, Jordan and Adrian from the second season will be among those reuniting at a festive dinner party held at a swanky country hideaway.

Pjay, Duka and Thomas and Johnathan will also take part in the Christmas special, which E4 teased would see the reality TV stars “confront ghosts from Christmas past, present and reveal their wishes for the year to come”.

They will also be opening up about what they have been up to since they went on the programme to find love.

Commissioning editor Mel Bezalel said: “The latest series of Married At First Sight UK has been a phenomenal success on E4 and All 4; there’s no better way to see out 2022 than a seasonal special with some of our favourite brides and grooms.

“Married At First Sight is such a unique experience, we’re excited to bring two casts together and see what new connections might form across the dinner table and even under the mistletoe…”

Murray Boland, creative director at production company CPL, said there was “no better occasion” to bring together some MAFS favourites

“Who’s been naughty, who’s been nice… and who is single?” he teased.
