The concept of marrying a complete stranger who you see for the first time on your wedding day seems like a comedy show that surely doesn’t work. But to many people’s surprise, the Married at First Sight experiments do work, with some couples who have stayed with their partner and have even had children with their partners. But how does one even get onto a show like this? Similar to Love Island, individuals can either apply to go on the show or are scouted to take part. A fair few of this year’s contestants were approached to go on the show, with some of them applying for their chance at love. Here are all the Married at First Sight UK 2022 cast members who applied to be on the show and who was scouted:
