SPOILERS: Married At First Sight Australia returns to E4 for a new series tonight where UK viewers get to watch what the brides and grooms Down Under have been up to as they tie the knot
Married At First Sight Australia has finally come to the UK once again with a new batch of contestants.
The reality series will introduce a set of new singles on their quest to find love as they embark on the experiment and marry someone they have never met before.
By the end of the experiment, those who manage to stay together throughout will decide whether or not they still want to be in a relationship at the final vows.
Experts John Aiken, Alessandra Rampolla, and Mel Schilling, certainly had their work cut out for them this season, with some of the most controversial moments.
Although those already matched are still very much in the honeymoon phase, it’s a completely different story for others.
The first episode, which has already aired in Australia and will air on Monday (March 3) in the UK.
Viewers can expect to see plenty of drama, especially from first couple Lauren and Eliot. At first the pair appeared to be the most well-suited to each other.
However there were many concerns about Eliot’s extremely long list of “non-negotiables” and his hard line traditional views on relationships dynamics.
Just moments before meeting his new bride, Eliot threatened to leave the wedding if he didn’t like her but on the night the wedding, and pairing, seemed to go well.
That was until the honeymoon, which saw Eliot storming out of their marital suite as he complained about Lauren’s age, (she was 37 to his 35).
“I wanted someone younger than me, preferably someone under 30,” he sulked into the camera, before leaving in a huff.
When Lauren was asked how she felt about her groom’s abrupt departure, she appeared unfazed as she hit out “It’s actually fascinating to watch a grown man throwing a tantrum because he didn’t get exactly what he wanted.”
Things got a lot worse for the new couple as just three days into their honeymoon Eliot decided to pack his backs and ditch his new bride.
The couple are no longer together but have since re-joined the experiment with different partners, in scenes which have aired in Austrlia. While we don’t know how long either relationship will last, it’s safe to say it may spark more drama during the experiment.
