WATCH: Fans are loving the Australian version of Married at First Sight
According to reports, bosses on the Channel 4 show have seen the immense popularity of the Australian version in recent weeks and are keen to follow in its footsteps.
The previous series of the UK version, which first aired in 2015, followed the premise of the Australian version, with strangers meeting their partners for the first time at the altar – but there were fewer participants and the emphasis was on the experiment itself.
In the last? two series of Married at First Sight UK, just two couples took part, whereas the Australia version saw as many as 14 couples participate, resulting in plenty of explosive moments. Only one couple, Michelle and Owen, have remained together since the UK's fifth series, while the others have all parted ways.
