If you've had a Married at First Sight shaped hole in your life, or at least in your TV viewing, then you'll be pleased to hear a brand new season is out later this month. A new group of brides and grooms are going to meet at the altar for the very first time hoping they've finally met their match.
Of course, we know by now that this wild, unorthodox social experiment does not always work out – in fact it often leads to drama, chaos and cheating scandals – but for many happy couples it introduced them to their perfect partner.
