One very lucky Married At First Sight fan got the chance to attend one of the on-screen weddings in person and has revealed what really goes on behind the scenes of one of E4’s most-loved reality shows.

The iconic reality show returned to screens on Sunday, September 21, as dozens of singletons marry a complete stranger at the altar. One couple who hit it off almost immediately was Nelly Patel, 30, and Steven Springett, 34, who had one of the show’s more unique ceremonies to date.

Paying homage to her Indian upbringing and culture, Nelly was brought into the ceremony on a Doli carriage adorned with flowers as husband-to-be Steven watched on in amazement. The investment banking manager appeared to hit it off with dentist instantly, setting themselves up to be one of the strongest couples so far.

Ashleigh Rainbird, an entertainment writer, was invited to the wedding and gave an interview to see it live. The couple and their honeymoon in Montego Bay, Jamaica, were filmed on Monday evening during the 10th series of the show.

And while the wedding took all of a few minutes on screen for viewers, in reality it goes on a lot longer for those witnessing it in person. “The size of the crew is enormous,” she said via the Daily Mail.

The ceremony took place in a pavilion at North Mymms Park, a manor house from the 16th century. And while only their families and friends hear their vows once, the viewers do so on repeat.

They exchange prewritten vows, and Ashleigh describes how frequently grooms refer to their bride as “beautiful” without having seen them.

“But then they do the entire thing again, at the risk of detracting some of the magic of TV.”

It’s probably not surprising that a large-scale production like this takes several takes, but it can be difficult for those present to watch the wedding.

The venue, which was actually used to film three of the weddings but was constructed to look like three different venues, is also being flooded by producers.

“I witness producers coordinating the movements of Nelly’s bridal party and Steven’s groomsmen via walkie talkies so none of them get even a glimpse of one another,” Ashleigh said. “An urgent warning comes over the airwaves alerting the team to the bride’s parents are set to pass up a stairwell,” she said.

Fans watch the father-of-two Steven telling his now-wife that he has children, which Nelly is thankfully unaffected by.

Steven had been working as an investment banker before being attacked outside of a nightclub and forced to give up on his professional football career.

He was left with a broken nose, cracked teeth, and a broken cheekbone after nine men viciously kicked and punched him in the middle of a previous college fight in his early 20s.

After having reconstructive surgery, he decided to stop playing football. He said, “You can only hide behind a mask for a certain amount of time.” I had to alter my profession. Being a young adolescent male, I was in my early 20s, which is a terrible age.

Tonight at 9 p.m. on E4, Married At First Sight will be broadcast.

According to the Daily Mail the shutdown is costing an additional £1.5million a day until they get back up and running.

Despite the halting, sources claimed that production costs, which included studio expenses, equipment, and maintaining sets, are still present. The cast’s star-studded guests are still paid during the holidays, and additional fees are due as a result of extended stays following schedule changes.

An insider said, “It’s a headache for any production to have to pause filming, but with a movie of this scale it will be a huge migraine for the producers and studio. Crew still need to be paid throughout the delay and there is also secondary location costs to consider.

Everyone on the shoot is hoping to get the cameras rolling once more sooner than later, according to the statement.

Oasis mania has officially taken the UK by storm this Summer as Liam and Noel Gallagher took to the stage for their Oasis Live’ 25 Tour, the first time they performed together in 15 years.

As the brothers prepare to play their last UK show tonight (September 28) at London’s Wembley Stadium, Liam’s sons Gene and Lennon have been spotted looking bleary-eyed following a night out.

After Oasis’ penultimate performance at Wembley, the siblings were pictured leaving Chelsea’s The Rex Rooms on Saturday night (September 27). Lennon, 26, and Gene, 24, made their way to the Chelsea hotspot after the performance.

Lennon wore a cream winter jumper, wide-leg jeans, and pump trainers. On his phone, he was seen smoking a cigarette while carrying a cross-body bag.

Gene opted for a more casual appearance by wearing a grey jumper and splatter-printed denim jeans. He donned some silver rings and black, fade-out sunglasses.

Oasis paid tribute to Ricky Hatton, 46, who passed away earlier this month during their Saturday night show at Wembley. While the band was playing their recognizable song Live Forever, a photo of Hatton appeared on the big screen.

Following that, the official Wembley Stadium social media page published a photo of Ricky’s tribute with the words “For Ricky” and “For Ricky.”

Richard Ashcroft, a resident of Manchester, is credited with honoring Hatton, who passed away on September 14 with his Bittersweet Symphony earlier in the evening.

The former boxing world champion was a huge Oasis fan and a close friend of Noel and Liam Gallagher, who carried his belts into the ring before his win over Pauli Malignaggi at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas 2008.

Hatton recited his condolences to Noel for the tickets to an Oasis concert in Dublin shortly before his passing. Noel’s revelations about Hatton’s texting of him before his death were made even more public last week.

He said on talkSPORT, “We were texting each other last week.” And I saw him in typical Ricky form at Heaton Park a few times. He was great, had a drink, and was wisecracking with everyone.

Although it is well known that he struggled with mental health, it just shows you that you never truly know what has happened. It’s so unfortunate. He is a fantastic Mancunian.

Oasis Live ’25 Tour debuted on July 4 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium before moving to their home city of Manchester, Heaton Park, for five shows.

After wrapping up Wembley tonight, the brothers will next descend on Asia, Australia and America. Their last show is scheduled for 23 November in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The pair made the announcement that their comeback tour would take place in August 2024 when they shared the news on social media and declared, “This is it, this is happening. The silence has been lost. The stars have converged. The lengthy wait is over. See what you see. It won’t be broadcast.

Following their highly publicized fallout, which led to them icing each other out of their lives, this is the first time Liam and Noel have performed together in 15 years.

When Lola Young collapsed on stage and was “carried off” by medical staff, she became concerned.

The singer admitted to having been through a “tricky couple of days” and wasn’t sure she would be able to attend the All Things Go Music Festival in New York on Saturday when she admitted she had been. She collapsed shortly after being helped by staff.

You know what I did when I woke up and made the decision to come here, she said on stage. “Sometimes life makes you feel like you can’t continue. When she collapsed while singing Conceited on stage at Forest Hills Stadium, Lola, 24, who is best known for her 2024 hit single Messy, was doing so.

Hours after the incident she took to Instagram to share an update with concerned fans writing, “Hi, for anyone who saw my set at all things go today, I am doing okay now. Thank you for all of your support xxx.”

She canceled a concert on Friday due to “a sensitive matter,” which led to the incident. On social media, her manager Nick Shymansky wrote that “there are]occasional days when my team and I have to take protective measures to keep her safe.

She consistently takes her fans, career, and performances with all utmost respect. I’m only able to express my sincere regret for the inconvenience caused.

In 2022 Lola revealed that she was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder when she was 17. She shared on Instagram, “I cant find the words to describe how much this diagnosis has affected my entire life, and my outlook on the world around me.

“I’ve been incredibly learning to accept this aspect of myself, and I’m still learning. I must remind myself that I am just a regular f****** person, that I am human, and that, like everyone else, I am capable of amazing things, and that my mental health does not preclude me. My superpower is it.

Schizophrenia is defined as having a mix of mood disorder symptoms, including depression, mania, and hypomania, as well as schizophrenia symptoms, including hallucinations and delusions. After undergoing what she initially believed to be bipolar disorder and clinical depression, Lola was given the diagnosis.

She also explained to her fans that her family had an uncle who also had schizophrenia and that both of them tragically passed away. She added that she thought smoking marijuana, which she had used to treat childhood trauma, may have contributed to her condition.

Lola also mentioned how, despite having caught her off guard before and having her sectioned, she can usually medicate to control the situation while also being able to tell when a manic episode is coming as she begins to have strange thoughts.

She said she typically senses an oncoming manic episode when she begins to feel strange thoughts, but that she is usually able to medicate to keep things under wraps, despite having previously been caught off guard and ended up being sectioned.

She also confirmed that traveling is challenging for her because her illness is unpredictable, and that she can experience manic episodes lasting as long as a month. The actress also admitted to feeling shamed and guilty about having her illness and that she can feel isolated when others see her.

Liam Gallagher dedicated Oasis track Stand By Me to his older brother Paul, who has been accused of rape, at the penultimate Oasis UK tour show – before hinting the band could return next year.

The singer, 53, gave a shout out to his sibling, 59, before launching into the group’s 1997 hit at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday night, with his other brother Noel playing along on guitar.

Paul Gallagher, who was sitting at Southwark Crown Court in London on Friday, denied the rape charge.

Additionally, he entered a not-guilty plea for assault causing actual bodily harm, three counts of sexual assault, three of intentional strangulation, two counts of making a threat of death, and three counts of coercive and controlling behavior. Between 2022 and 2024, according to the allegations, there were.

Before reciting Stand By Me, Liam paused in the middle of the Saturday performance to declare, “I want to dedicate this one to Paul Gallagher.

I have a lot to learn, according to the lyrics, and stand by me, no one knows how things will turn out.

Before the final song, Liam gave a big gimmick about the band’s upcoming return. He thanked the fans for their faith as they prepared to play Champagne Supernove. I’ll see you next year.

Fans are hoping they’ll play at Manchester’s Etihad stadium and Knebworth, the venue where they famously performed in 1996, when the band is scheduled to return to the stage in the United Kingdom in 2026. The 30th anniversary would follow in the following year.

The band has received rave reviews on their current tour, and there was almost never before a demand for tickets when they played venues in their hometowns of Manchester, Edinburgh, Dublin, and Cardiff, where the tour first started on July 4.

After 16 years of a break, the band’s frontman Liam and brother Noel join guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, Gem Archer, and bassist Andy Bell, as well as brand-new drummer Joey Waronker, who are wowing the audience.

A total of 41 shows are on the tour, with close to three million people watching.

Even Noel Gallagher looked choked up at times on stage and admitted later that his legs went to jelly because The Oasis Comeback was so emotionally charged in Cardiff.

After the final UK show at Wembley last night(SUN) a few months later, a more relaxed Noel was thought to be throwing a party for friends and family, with the rumoured guest list at Chiltern Firehouse said to include Johnny Depp, Kate Moss and Lady Gaga. Liam has previously avoided going to parties in Dublin and elsewhere as he has been keen to rest his voice to make sure none of the shows have to be cancelled.

After playing dates in North America and wowing more British fans with their two weekend shows, Liam and Noel Gallagher were back hugging and smiling on the Wembley stage.

After Wembley, they now have almost a month off until they head to play dates in Australia, Japan and South Korea and South America. The first dates are in South Korea on October 25 and then onto Japan before going Down Under.

The Only Way Is Essex star Freddie Bentley was never going to be just another face in the Sugar Hut crowd. The 27-year-old, who first hit our screens in 2018 on Channel 4 reality competition The Circle, swiftly carved out a space for himself as one of the reality show’s most vibrant newcomers, bringing infectious humour, vulnerability and, of course, plenty of drama with him.

Earlier this year, Freddie marked three years of sobriety – a milestone he chose to share on the show in an emotional moment. His decision to give up alcohol came after a terrifying health scare that saw him face possible liver failure. Here, Freddie opens up exclusively to OK! about friendships and fallouts, and why he believes his life truly began when he quit the booze…

Hello, Freddie! What’s up with you?

I’m doing a fantastic job. The summer I’ve had the best summer in a long time is amazing. I’ve traveled all over the place. I’m very appreciative.

You recently celebrated three years of sobriety, which TOWIE captured your beauty. What were your feelings?

It was amazing to be able to speak my truth about my sobriety journey on TOWIE. I think a lot of people don’t know about me being sober. It’s something I’ve really worked on and had my own personal journey with. It was a surreal moment to watch myself back, talking about it on the show. I feel honoured that they dedicated that segment to it.

What led you to decide to publicly share it?

I’ve always had a good sense of pride in it. Since I was 24 when I started drinking, I now have 27 and I wanted to talk about it on such a significant platform. Your twenties are about partying, and I wanted to be a reasoned person to show that my life actually started when I drank. Without a doubt, it didn’t come to an end.

A pivotal moment occurred, right?

Yes, I did incredibly poorly. I had back pain that lasted for about three months and was no longer feeling like myself. The doctors were unable to determine what was wrong. Even though it was cocktails by the pool, I couldn’t hold down the alcohol during our trip to the Dominican Republic. I was always ill. Dad noticed that my pupils were yellow on the way home. Because I had jaundice and a failing liver, I was taken to a hospital and kept there for six weeks.

That mutates enthralling…

Yes, a normal liver enzyme level ranges from 125 U/L to 125 U/L. Mine was 980. I was in a panic and the doctors said I needed a transplant. Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a liver condition that basically means your bile ducts don’t work properly, has been identified in my case. There is no treatment, and a transplant will be necessary at some point.

Then what happened?

I was referred to the Royal Free Hospital and was under their care for years. They wanted to put me on trial drugs, but instead I chose to explore homeopathic routes – rapid transformational therapy, reflexology and spiritual healing. I know it sounds mad to some people, but after doing all this work on myself, my liver levels returned to normal. The doctor said, “This is a miracle case.” Since then, I’ve never drunk again and never would. I get a buzz out of being sober.

What aspect of giving up alcohol has been the most difficult?

The hardest part of the first year. You mourn your old life, especially in this industry where you are given a glass of prosecco upon arrival at an event, especially the social side of things. At first, I hardly ever left because I wasn’t ready. But over time, I developed a sense of self-worth, and I’ve grown even more enthusiastic about everything.

Additionally, I experienced discrimination while I was in the hospital. The doctors immediately made up their minds about unprotected sex, and this was the first time I experienced true belittlement for my sexuality. That was challenging, but it also gave me a greater sense of strength.

You recently experienced tears on TOWIE. What transpired there?

I was experiencing a personal breakup with a partner who was struggling with their own problems. I had no choice but to leave because it was so heavy. Not everything could be projected on screen due to filming restrictions, but that moment was real. It all became overwhelming because I’d also experienced fallout with people.

How do you respond to troll comments on social media?

Honestly, A duck’s back is watered off. It’s something I’ve heard it all my life. If people weren’t talking about me, I would be more worried! It indicates that I am performing my duties, whether they are positive or negative. Trolls are my enemy, I feel sorry. They must be putting in the necessary effort to spread that negativity.

Do you anticipate remaining a member of TOWIE forever?

Absolutely not. It’s the best job I’ve ever had, and I adore it. I think I’ve revived some of the old-school vibe, and I’ll be staying there for the long haul.

What’s the current state of your romantic life?

I’m 100% single. My most recent breakup wastraumatic and profoundly influenced by me. I have a lot of spirituality and know that the universe is watching over me. I’d be willing to start dating once more, but only with the right person who shares my enthusiasm and skills.
