Married At First Sight UK lands Christmas spin-off with show’s biggest stars returning for explosive festive reunion
MARRIED At First Sight UK has landed a Christmas special which will see the couples come together for an explosive festive reunion.
The Sun can exclusively reveal the new show will see current and former stars of the hit E4 experiment living under one roof.
A TV insider said: “Bosses are over the moon with the success of this series so far and thought a Christmas spin-off would be the perfect way to capitalise on that.
“It’s going to be a similar format to the Love Island special in 2018, with the biggest stars from this series and previous ones staying together in a big country house.”
It’s not only the first time Married At First Sight UK have done a festive special but it’s also the first time names from different series have appeared on screen together.
Our source added: “The final cast is still being lined-up, but expect to see all your favourites coming back.

“There will be tears, romance and plenty of old wounds reopened.
“It’s going to be a real Christmas cracker that will get the festive season off to a bang.”
Married At First Sight UK aired a reunion special after the launch of the current series last month, with the stars from last year’s series updating fans on how their lives have changed since the show.
But there’s no doubt having the contestants – made up of some warring former couples – living under one roof will make for some dramatic viewing.
