Married at First Sight: One Year On is a special reunion episode which sees the cameras return to catch up with a few of the beloved Married at First Sight UK 2021 cast since they took part in the unusual TV experiment.

Married at First Sight UK 2021 followed 16 singletons who risked everything to marry a complete stranger they had never met.

Their relationships were put to the test as the couples went on a luxury honeymoon, before moving in with each other and meeting their respective partner's family and friends.

Throughout the experiment, the couples decided whether they wanted to stay together or not — and there were plenty of tears, tantrums and heartbreak along the way.

Not all of the relationships ended on a positive note, so we're sure that the reunion won't be smooth sailing as the former contestants talk about the impact the show had on them, as well as what they've been up to since the show ended.

Commissioning Editor, Mel Bezalel said of the special: "Last year, record numbers watched 16 strangers get married on E4 and All 4, and witnessed the ensuing drama, romance and rollercoasters. It's only right that we give viewers 'what they ordered' and catch up with this unforgettable cast.

"So far, we've had an engagement, a baby announcement and a couple re-locating – so we're desperate to find out what else this group has been up to since we last saw them, and what this unique reunion might have in store…"
