'Wife swapping, fights and marching orders'

This year's Married At First Sight UK promises to be bigger, better and badder than ever

It’s no secret that Married At First Sight is jam-packed with drama, arguments and marital woes, but it seems that the next UK season could be its most volatile one to date.

Speaking to new, our source has revealed that the twists and turns of this year’s upcoming series are like nothing seen before on the smash-hit E4 show, which follows couples who tie the knot without having ever met each other.

“This season of MAFS UK has just finished filming and it is very explosive. [There’s] wife swapping, massive rows and even a physical altercation between two of the grooms. One of them was even removed from the show,” our source said.

The prospect of such outrageous behaviour will be sure to keep the programme’s legions of fans hooked.

The source, who knows one of the cast, continued, “Since filming ended, the cast’s WhatsApp group chat has blown up. The two grooms are going head-to-head and are planning a boxing fight between them.

“The reunion is due to be filmed in July and at this rate it will be explosive.”

When speaking about the potential cause of the fireworks, the source believed it could be down to the ages of the participants on this year’s show.

Unlike the 2022 season, where the youngest contestant was 29 and the eldest was 51, this time series bosses seem to have scouted even younger couples.

The source said, “This year has a younger cast, which has resulted in loads of drama.”
