'Get set for bombshell after bombshell'

Married At First Sight UK's latest series was another level of explosive, but Adrian Sanderson tells new we need to brace ourselves for the Christmas reunion show, promising there'll be "bombshell after bombshell".

Adrian, 37, who married outspoken scouser Thomas Hartley, 31, admitted he was nervous about reuniting with his co-stars, saying, "I walked in thinking, 'Is it going to be the MAFS Christmas special or the Game Of Thrones Christmas special?""

When we catch up with the graphic designer, he fills us in on life since the show and although he says he has been "blocked" by Thomas, he still sings his ex's praises. "He knew how to pick me up confidence wise. At any given moment, he made you feel good, proud and very happy," he says.

Here, Adrian opens up about the dramatic reunion and reveals why the dynamic was never the same after "alpha males" Johnathan and Matt joined the experiment...

Hi, Adrian! What can you tell us about the reunion?

It's everything you would expect from a raucous family Christmas. Everyone looks beautiful, the food is wonderful, the drinks are delicious and the drama is plenty.

You are joined by some of the cast from the previous season. What was that like?
