'We almost split after the worst holiday ever

Dating guru Paul C Brunson is gearing up to return to our screens in two new series.

As the pro matchmaker and relationship coach completes filming the latest season of E4’s Married At First Sight UK and prepares for another round of Celebs Go Dating, he fills new in on all we need to know.

“This series of Married At First Sight UK is the best I’ve seen in my decade of working in TV. It’s so authentic,” Paul reveals.

After stars such as Vanessa Feltz, Adam Collard and Chloe Burrows made their mark on Celebs Go Dating last year, Paul is hoping to switch things up this time around as he reveals why Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid is his top pick for the show.

Father-of-two Paul, 49, who’s been married to his wife Jill since 2000, also gives an insight into his own family life during our chat. And while he may be loved-up now, Paul reveals why he almost split from his other half during their first holiday…

Hi, Paul! You’re filming Married At First Sight UK at the moment, how is that going?

Yes, we are heading towards the end of filming. I’m sure you hear this all the time but I’ve now been in television for a decade and this is by far the best series, so I’m excited for everyone to see it. And we are just about to start filming for Celebs Go Dating, so there’s no rest! 

What is it that makes this season so special?
