What to know about Married At First Sight UK as groom ignites controversy before show even begins

OK guys, the time has nearly come until the new season of Married At First Sight UK finally hits our tellies.

Luckily, Channel 4 viewers were given a taste of what's to come on the infamous dating show after watching a 'first look' clip which sees one couple far from hitting it off the altar. Have a look:

The clip, which some viewers have branded 'cheap behaviour' and a total 'ick' sees 28-year-old groom, Kieran, pulling a prank on his soon-to-be wife, Kristina, 30.

Fancying himself as a comedian, the mechanic donned a set of false teeth while he waited for his bride to make her way down the aisle so they could meet for the very first time.

"I just want to know if this girl's fun," he explained.

As Kristina smiled at her future husband, treasuring the once-in-a-lifetime moment, Kieran saw it fit to smile back - showing off a set of broken and rotting false teeth.

Unsurprisingly, Kristina was horrified, exclaiming in a voiceover: "What the f*ck?"

Needless to say, the whole ordeal has only fuelled our anticipation to finally get our latest MAFS fix so, without further ado, here's everything you need to know about the upcoming season.

Who are the MAFS UK experts?

While we've not yet had anything official from Channel 4 about who the relationship experts will be this season, we're anticipating that we'll see familiar faces Mel Schilling, Paul C Brunson and Charlene Douglas make a return.

Who is the MAFS UK cast?

Likewise, the official cast announcement hasn't dropped yet but is reported to drop early doors next week (2 September).

But, with that said, we've already been introduced to two contestants - Kieran and Kristina - after the 'first look' teaser went viral.

Guess we'll have to just wait and see who the remaining brides and grooms will be.

And, if those contestants are anything like Kieran and his altar-side antics then we're definitely in for a proper juicy season indeed.

When will MAFS UK be released?

And, sorry to break it to you, but the official date the latest season premieres has also not been officially revealed either.

It's difficult to predict the specific timings as previous seasons have aired end of August while others kicked off mid-to-late September.

What we do know is that it'll definitely be coming out in September - so that's something!

But, don't you worry, we'll deliver all the updates soon as we do know something more concrete!

Married at First Sight UK will be available to watch in September.
