Fans have been counting down the days for the return of Married At First Sight UK after a dramatic series last year, which saw risky pranks at the altar, tears and mismatches. The experts have promised the 10th series will be the ‘most memorable yet’ with ‘a lot of firsts’ for the E4 programme.

Earlier this month, E4 revealed the 18 people who are stepping out of their comfort zones to tie the knot with a complete stranger in hopes of finding true love. The new series has gone international, with groom Davide, 33, hailing from Portugal and bride Julia-Ruth, who is a professional dancer, coming all the way from New Zealand in the pursuit of love.

Additionally, there are Aberdeen contestants Sarah, Sarah, a recruitment consultant, and Edinburgh-based Paul, who is retired and looking for the one.

A few of the stars shared their hopes and worries before the cameras begin to show their whirlwind romances.

Speaking about marrying a stranger, Rebecca, 32, said to the Mirror: “If I think about it too much, I panic. I keep thinking to myself, he feels the same as I do right now. He must be nervous and wondering what I am like. I’m so excited to take part in this with him.

She has her ” fingers crossed” that the experts will match her with someone she’ll get along with, but she reveals she’ll be turned off if they’re emotionally unavailable.

She’s enthusiastic about the experiment, but she acknowledges importance of first impressions, saying, “I’m sure I’ll judge him on his height!” Since I’m quite tall, it’s important that he also be. I simply need to feel the instant attraction for him as I approach him.

Sarah, 31, has been single for a while and wants to meet the “man of her dreams” because she had “terrible taste in men in the past.”

The contestant, who stated, “I’m putting everything in this,” has many concerns about the experiment. She insisted she’ll be open-minded because “I’ve been matched with him for a reason,” after revealing she doesn’t like anyone over the age of 18 who uses Snapchat or anyone with a negative attitude.

When Sarah was questioned about letting a total stranger live with, she responded, “I’m looking forward to that. I’m so excited for this because it’s going to be a lot and intense! We’ll have fun regardless because I’m a good host to live with.

Retired Paul doesn’t have many “red flags” to watch out for in relationships. He only asks that the individual be genuine. When asked if he believed in trusting the experts, the 60-year-old said, “No! Should I have faith in them?

The actress is concerned about what his girlfriend’s reaction will be to him as they approach. He acknowledged that he was concerned about what other people thought of me. You can build on that, but I’m concerned about how they’ll perceive me.

Paul hopes to emerge from the experiment as a “better human being,” despite being a little “nervous and cautious.”

Married at First Sight on E4 can be viewed or streamed starting at 9 p.m. on Sunday, September 21.
