What happens

Married at First Sight is a British television programme where strangers start a marriage-like relationship with each other, meeting only minutes before the ceremony and then going on honeymoon. Upon returning, they live together for a period of time, during which they meet at commitment ceremonies and choose whether or not they will continue their relationship. On 14 March 2021, Owen and Michelle from Series 5 became the first couple to celebrate their 1st wedding anniversary together. The programme is the British version of the Married at First Sight franchise which originated in Denmark in 2013. On 24 November 2020, it was announced that the programme would move to Channel 4's sister channel E4 in 2021, and would use the format of its Australian counterpart following the highly successful broadcast of the latter on E4. In May 2026, the programme was the subject of a Panorama episode titled The Dark Side of Married at First Sight, after two of the female contestants on the show alleged that they were the victims of rape, with a third alleging a non-consensual act. Episodes of the show were subsequently removed from Channel 4's streaming platforms. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
