Which Married at First Sight UK couples are still together? The brides and grooms that have stayed the distance as series returns to E4
Married at First Sight UK returned to screens on Monday, with experts Paul C Brunson, Mel Schilling and Charlene Douglas back to match up a new crop of married couples.
As always, the hopefuls are coupled up based on science and sociology, with the brides and grooms then meeting at the alter.
The newlyweds then face the challenges of married life, moving in together and seeing if they can form a connection with one another while taking part in weekly commitment ceremonies.
Every season there is plenty of drama, with couples falling out in spectacular fashion and arguments exploding between the pairs and their co-stars.
Yet for some the show has provided their perfect match, with these couples still together after the cameras stopped rolling.

Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson were the first lesbian couple on Married at First Sight UK.
And another title they can claim is being the only couple from series seven that are still together.
Back in April they celebrated their one year anniversary, with Zoe comparing herself to the late Queen in an Instagram post.
She said: ‘Just like the Queen had 2 birthdays…we have 2 anniversaries. 1st on 7th April and the other is the day our wedding aired and you all saw the beginning of our journey’.
The former quantity surveyor joked: ‘I guess we’ll have a third when we get married for real which I’ve just realised is going to cost me a fortune’.
Zoe was keen to remember her time on the dating show, and gave this year’s cast some stellar advice: ‘For those of you in this years cast, whatever your outcome, try and breathe it in’.
She finished: ‘You could be right in the centre of the best year of your life. Failing that you’ll learn so much about yourself if you’re open to’.
