How many seasons of Married At First Sight UK are there?
There have been five series of the UK version of the show up to now, which first began in 2015.
Previous seasons saw only two, three or four couples featured at any one time on the show.
In the first five series, contestants lived alone in their pairs and were later asked, once only, if they want to stay together.

How will the new series be different?
For the brand new season 6 of MAFS UK, the Australian format will be adopted, which will give the show a whole new look and feel.
The Aussie version starts with ten couples, who share an apartment in the same Sydney living quarters - much like the Love Island villa.
They reconvene at weekly commitment ceremonies — and have explosive dinner parties.
UK producers are hoping to replicate some of the drama of MAFS Australia, which has had us all hooked since January 2021.
The aim is to sex-up the show so it corners the youth market that currently tunes into Love Island on ITV2.
