Married at First Sight is back and better than ever as 12 new couples say 'I do' before getting to know each other.

Nathanial
Season eight has paired Events Marketing Manager Nathanial with Clinic Consultant Ella. And while 36-year-old Nathanial has been hoping to find true love on MAFS, it's not his first brush with dating shows.

Finance Manager Laura Vaughan tied the knot with tennis coach Arthur in season eight, but before her stint on MAFS, she tested the waters with Hollyoaks actor Gary Lucy during an episode of Celebs Go Dating.

Peggy
Technology Risk Partner Peggy is hoping to find The One in Georges. But, long before she joined MAFS, the 32-year-old signed on for the 2012 series of Take Me Out, helmed by Paddy McGuinness.

Brad
Before his wedding to Performing Arts Teacher Shona, Brad had been set up with Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby in 2016. During his appearance on series one of Celebs Go Dating, the pair went on a number of dates but in the end, it wasn't meant to be.
