From the moment we first laid eyes on Kieranâs teeth - we knew this was going to be a cracking seriesâŠ
They chose to stay in the last episode - so this time, weâre sticking to our word and making them stay⊠we have Paul C Brunson and Zeze Mills on the Itâs Official sofa to take a nostalgic look back at the series as a whole!
And weâre joined by the man, the myth, the legend⊠our brilliant groom Luke! We find out all about his time in the experiment - and we workshop some words that might have worked better than âterroriseâ in his letter to Amy.
As well as that - itâs showbizâs most glamorous and anticipated night of the year⊠The MAFS Awards 2024! Who are going to be the big winners of the night?! And guess what⊠we even have a *teeny-tiny* trophy for one lucky personâŠ
Thanks for joining us for this series of MAFS UK: Itâs Official - actually can someone pass a sick bag? Iâm feeling a bit nauseous - probably shouldnât have tried to write this podcast description on a helicopter ride. -
Two vow renewals and a funeral⊠thatâs actually such a good idea for a movie. Someone should make that.
The experiment is over! Two of our couples have committed to one another at final vows and brace themselves for the reunion⊠and we also had a lovely dinner party where we reunited all our brides and grooms and there was absolutely NO drama or stress at all :)
Chloe is joined by the legendary Zeze Mills to debrief our last week in the experiment. Did we expect it to end like this? And how do we think our couples are going to fare outside the experiment?
Weâve also invited Lacey and Paul C Brunson to the couch - to regroup on everything weâve learned from the experiment! Lacey reveals how she and Nathan made yet ANOTHER lifelong commitment to each other and *just* how excited she was for that salsa classâŠ
And weâre bringing back fan-favourite game Luke-y Dip - for a second round⊠this time - with a vow renewals twistâŠ
Btw - we googled the halfway point between Manchester and Walsall. Itâs Stoke-on-Trent. Just FYI! -

Tonight, take a look up at the sky⊠and if youâre lucky - you might just see Lacey looking down at you. Thatâs Lacey the star, not Lacey in a helicopter. Something tells me Nathan wonât be getting her another helicopter ride any time soon.
Itâs the penultimate week of the experiment! Weâve said a sad farewell to one of our couples and weâre heading out on final dates⊠donât forget your sick bag!
Today - Chloe is joined by the wonderful Mariam Musa so we can regroup on our psychological takes before we head into next weekâs vow renewals. Which of our couples will manage to work their way through the challenges of the experiment - and who will thrive on the outside? The clocks are ticking!
And we have two VERY special visitors on the sofa - our beautiful bride Sacha and our exceptional expert Mel! We find out how the end of the experiment felt for our self-aware queen Sacha - and everything that the MAFS process has taught her about herselfâŠ
And itâs nearly the end of the experiment - so weâre bringing out the Memory Box to test how well youâve all been paying attention⊠we hope youâve been taking notes! -
GOOD MORNING UNIVERSE! How good does it get?!
Things are getting towards the serious end of the experiment now - our couples are doing *serious* things like thinking about how to make things work long term, spending time with their families and prancing about a dance studio wearing feather boas. Sooooo serious.
Chloe has her iconic bestie Joe Baggs on the sofa with her to discuss everything weâve seen in Partner Swap Week and Doing DIY For Your In-Laws Week⊠oh sorry - we mean Homestays Week.
Kieran and Kristina are also here - things have been emotional for them this week so weâre very excited to have a chit chat with them about their time so far in the experiment.
And we couldnât have Kieran and Kristina on the show without having a sing-song, could we? We *may* have just written the next number one hitâŠ
And just to let everyone know - from this point onwards weâll only be accepting apologies in malt loaf form. Thanks! -
Everyone feeling relaxed after their trip to the spa?
That was possibly one of the MOST DRAMATIC weeks we have ever seen on MAFS - we had arguments, we had shock exits⊠and in the biggest shock of all - we even saw Adam moving his hips at the salsa class!
We have a lot to chat about this week - so Chloe is joined on the sofa by Gogglebox legends Marcus and Mica. Theyâve been married for nearly 20 years so weâre really relying on them to give us their wisdom.
Did Sacha need to bring Ross into her argument? Is there hope for Kieran and Kristina? Is it advisable to do pottery whilst topless?
And - itâs a big week because we have our groom Orson on the sofa⊠and boy, do we have a lot to ask him. Did he really have the feels for Richelle? What was it like in that INTENSE commitment ceremony? And⊠the question weâre all desperate to know - will he be staying in touch with Hannah?
We also have decided to test if Orsonâs question answering skills have improved since his wedding⊠in a game of â40 Million Questionsâ - and get ready, cos the questions cut deep (not).
And remember - next time youâre at the dentist and they have a go at you for grinding your teeth⊠tell them you were freestyling. Thanks for the tip Lacey. -
We need to learn the British Sign Language for âYAY!â because Ross and Sacha are officially in love!!!
Can we just pretend *all* our couples are deeply in love and that no drama happened at the retreat? That was⊠a LOT. Thankfully, we have a real-TREAT for you today on Itâs Official - Friday Night Dinner superstar Tom Rosenthal joins Chloe today and heâs brought some very insightful opinions with him (as well as plenty of lols)
Fresh off the back of stick-or-twist-gate - our lovely bride Polly is also on the sofa! Thereâs a lot to break down from Pollyâs time on the experiment so far - so weâve called in the help of our wonderful, fabulous and ever-so-wise expert, Charlene!
Polly tells us about the conversation that Adam had with Caspar that reignited the intimacy in her marriage, and Charlene lets us know what she thinks about the whole âtypeâ issueâŠ
We also crack on with a game of âPolly Wants A Crackerâ... to see if we can predict the fortunes of some of our couplesâŠ
And can we just take a moment to discuss the preview for the next episode? We are SAT waiting for that commitment ceremony. Weâll be back here next week to break it all down for you.
In the meantime⊠anyone for a carvery? -
RIP the sauce that Adam forgot to put in his basket at the supermarket. Gone but never forgotten.
Joining Chloe to get stuck into this weekâs MAFS gossip is the brilliant Dani Dyer!
Our three new couples have officially entered the experiment - and itâs caused a biiiiiiit of a stir. Do we think theyâre all going to turtle-y fall in love, or will they be flamin-going at the first opportunity? (if you hadnât guessed we were *really* inspired by Amy and Lukeâs trip to the animal sanctuary)
And - our new bride Hannah joins us on the sofa to tell us all about her stunning wedding day, her awkward first kiss and has some tips on how to accidentally turn up to your own wedding in a supercarâŠ.
And in honour of our favourite wordsmith - Luke, we play a game of Luke-y Dip! Who knew it was so hard to pick up pieces of paper with chopsticks?!
Whoâs ready for another week of DRAMA?! Weâll be back here next week for more of the tea, more of the goss and more of the exclusives. And in the meantime⊠weâll be thinking about those duck budgie smugglers. -
We are â100% a little bitâ obsessed with MAFS!!!
Joining Chloe on the sofa today to spill the tea (and the coffee) on everything weâve seen on MAFS this week is Drag Race royalty - Tia Kofi!
Sadly, weâve said goodbye to the first of our couples :((((( Charlie and Eve both chose to leave at the commitment ceremony - and Charlie herself is joining us on the sofa to chat about everything went down (and to boast about her throwing skills)
In honour of Experts Week - we also play our very own version of Ask Me Anything. Weâve splashed all our budget on the very-highly-technological RANDOM QUESTION GENERATOR (spoiler alert - itâs two bowls) to make us all feel *more emotionally connected*
Weâre choosing to stay - are you? Weâll be here every week for all of your MAFS debrief needs.
Anyone know a good butler in the buff? Asking for a friend. -
Can you believe that Alex wrote leave? Are Sacha and Ross soulmates? Will Caspar and Emma be able to make something work? What on earth did Kieran mean by âbe where your feet areâ? Wait sorry⊠Richelle asked us not to ask too many questions. Weâll stop.
The honeymoon period is over for our couples and theyâve finally moved into their new apartments (well⊠most of them have) - so the ICONIC Vicky Pattison has joined Chloe on the sofa today to dissect all the drama from our first dinner party and our first commitment ceremony.
And to complete our gorgeous girl gang today - itâs our bride Holly! We are desperate to find out if thereâs hope for her and Alexâs relationship - and whether the spark they had on their wedding day will be enough to carry them through the experimentâŠ
Rating things on a scale of 1 - 10 caused a weeeeee bit of drama at the dinner party - so weâve decided to reclaim it and turn it into an actually very fun game that doesnât end in tears (hopefully)
Weâll be here every week for a big old gossip about MAFS - weâre committed⊠are you?!
On a scale of 1 to 10 - how good is this podcast? 10? Knew it. -
Is it too soon to say weâre in love already?!
It has been a BIG first week for our brides and grooms, so Chloe has enlisted the help of the ultimate MAFS superfan David Potts to break it all down for us!
Everythingâs been a bit of a whirlwind - weâve had a dog as a ringbearer, a bridesmaid mistaken for a bride, a romantic trip to a lizard sanctuary and weâve even met Miss Birmingham 2018 herself⊠Chloe and David chat about how things are going so far and what we think the future holds for our brides and grooms.
Weâre all about the exclusives here on Itâs Official - so weâve also got one of our gorgeous brides Emma on the sofa for you⊠gather round - because she might treat us to a reading from her journal!! And of course, we all know sheâs a crisp connoisseur so we decided to play a game of Married At First Bite (itâs basically like relationship horoscopes with crisps⊠it will all make sense very soon)
Weâll be back here every week for all the chats, all the gossip and all the opinions - so stick around so you donât miss a thing.
Before we record the next episode, we need to retrieve Charlieâs wedding ring. Does anyone have some scuba diving equipment we can borrow? -
Meet the singles, eh? Well, donât get too excited because this lovely lot won't be available for long⊠theyâre all about to commit FOR LIFE (hopefully) to a stranger.
Welcome to the brand new series of MAFS UK: Itâs Official with Chloe Burrows! Every week on this podcast Chloe will be joined by celeb superfans, the experts, as well as our gorgeous brides and grooms for all the exclusives, the juiciest goss and all spiciest opinions.
We asked the experts very nicely and they did an extra special bit of matchmaking for us - and theyâve matched Chloe with her scientifically most compatible podcast guest - itâs TikToker Asher Glean!
Chloe and Asher reckon theyâre pretty good at matchmaking themselves - so today weâre going to play a game of âChloe Called It!â to see if we can predict which of our singles will be meeting at the end of the aisleâŠ
Will there be love at first sight? Will we have a slow burn that sparks into a passionate frame? Will Kieranâs teeth scare his new wife? Thereâs only one way to find out - letâs put a ring on it!
This is the place to be for your MAFS UK debrief. Join us here every week - and you can also watch us on E4 and 4Reality!
See ya at the end of the aisle! -
SURPRISE! Weâre back people of the congregation, and weâre ready to get some SERIOUS goss on life after MAFS UK with some of our gorgeous brides and grooms.
Yasmin has managed to get herself into the ACTUAL venue where our MAFS UK 2023 Alumni are gathering for the first time since the show ended. Is that the sound of tension you can hear being cut with a knife?! Oh no, itâs just a slice of pork pie at the dinner party, donât worry!
And given that itâs a special occasion, Yasmin is joined by not one, not two, but SIX MAFS legends on the sofa!
Paul and Tasha come through to catch us up, and tell us about dropping the L-word, two of our favourite gals Jay and Adrienne give us the tea on what went down after the cameras stopped rolling, and, in a not-so-spoiler-spoiler-alert, brand new couple Shona and Matt tell us ALL! When, how, where and everything that happened after! (Well, obvs not everything⊠itâs not that kind of show)
So, thatâs actually it. MAFS UK is wrapped up for another year. And what a series it was! Thanks for coming along for the ride with us, itâs been a blast!
Anyway, gotta dash to the travel agent, weâve got it on good authority that Australia is the place to be for strangers getting hitched now ⊠;) -
How have you guys been coping now that MAFS has been off air for a week? Weâve been STRUGGLING⊠so weâre back with a liâl wrap up episode to tie up all the loose ends from this series. Youâre. Welcome. Everyone.
Yasmin is joined by reality legend Bobby Norris - to debrief that final meeting between our couples and the experts, and, letâs be honest, his thoughts on the whole series. Somebody get the butter knives, because even with a fractured knee, Bobby is ready to ski himself down the aisle (provided Matt is at the end of it!). Oh, and there's some v naughty language in this one, so definitely not one for the school run.
And two of our MAFS heroes are in the building - our gorgeous bride Jay and the incredibly iconic Paul C Brunson are here! (did you know the âCâ stands for Charming? Only joking, we know itâs Carrick. Have some respect!)
Jay lets us know how sheâs feeling since the show has ended, and Paul spills the beans on just how thorough the matching process is⊠itâs intimate, you guys.
We have some awards to present in the âMAFTAsâ - GET IT?! And we consult our *totally legitimate* sources to find out what our brides and grooms have been getting up to since the experiment⊠;)
And⊠hate to say it⊠but thatâs it! If youâve missed any episodes you can stream the whole series of MAFS UK on Channel 4 - and you can watch all of the episodes of the podcast on the 4Reality YouTube channel.
Maybe weâll meet you at the end of an aisle at some point soon? -
Guys, weâve finally made it⊠MAFS UK: Itâs Official is only on the telly! We arenât sure if someone at E4 put the wrong tape in, but weâre going with it. Donât worry if you missed it though, we forgive you, because weâre still here in podcast land as always!
Yasmin is joined by everyoneâs favourite holiday rep and short-shorts aficionado David Potts, as well as our other small pants superfan Georges and beautiful bride Peggy!
David and Yasmin talk us through this weekâs action with all of our couples (and exes đ) and get Wagatha-level forensic on the Jordan did he/didnât he/who did he kiss argument. Turns out, we might know the mystery lady after all⊠hold tight for a BIG confession (definitely not fake news).
So while some of our couples have said an emotional goodbye at vow renewals, what we really wanna know is what do Peggyâs parents really make of Georges now that theyâve committed to one another? Will she have to bin off her entire family to be with him? Yasminâs coming in with the hard hitting questions thatâll have Krishnan Guru-Murthy fearing for his job.
We canât believe weâre nearly at the end⊠what are we all going to do with ourselves? Donât worry though, weâll be back next week with a series wrap up and some of your faves!
Right, weâve gotta get going to the car boot sale with Peggyâs dad, we heard there were some great bargains to be had on second hand wedding rings and dinner party vests. Bisous! -
Itâs every girlâs dream come true⊠a carriage ride around Peckham! Oh Peggy, you really are the luckiest princess in all the land!
This week Ryan-Mark Parsons has joined Yasmin to help with our debrief⊠and weâre getting DANGEROUSLY close to the end of the experiment. WEâRE NOT READY FOR A LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP!
And former lovebirds Rozz and Thomas pop in to tell us what really happened on homestays and why, in the end, leaving the experiment was the right decision for them. Grab your tissues though, itâs about to get emotional (and, at points⊠extremely kinky)
As our couples head on their final dates, the real world is looming. Will the pressure be too much and will distance get in the way of them finding futures together?
Inspired by an *ever-so-slightly* savage question that was dug out from the depths of the honesty box: Rozz, Thomas and Mark-Ryan play a game of 5 minutes, 5 days, 5 years⊠Personally? Weâd spend 5 years with ALL our Brides and Grooms because we love them equally⊠O:-)
The experiment is not quite over yet - so MAKE THE MOST OF THIS LAST WEEK - OR ELSE. Catch MAFS UK every Monday to Thursday at 9pm on E4.
And as an extra special treat - youâll be able to catch MAFS UK: Itâs Official on the actual telly on Wednesday 15th November straight after MAFS finishes. Weâre ready for our close up!
Now to patiently wait to see if Tasha And Paul: The Love Story will be nominated for an Oscar. I heard itâs the movie of the year! -
Oh look - someone wrote us an anonymous letter⊠Dear MAFS UK: Itâs Official! - you are the best podcast ever, we love listening to you every Thursday. Please could you invite Mel, Ella and Tinea Taylor on this week? Thanks!
⊠Well, well, well, your wish is our command⊠Did somebody say girlsâ girls?!
This week Yasmin is joined by her real-life bestie - presenter Tinea Taylor as well as our stunning, hilarious Bride Ella, and actual MAFS legend - our expert Mel!
Ellaâs back and sheâs properly loved up with her new husband - sorry - boyfriend. She gives us the full debrief on life back in the experiment with her new bae - and what it was like to take him home to meet her amazing Nan. And Mel lets us know how crucial the homestays are for our couples, as well as arranging a casual holiday with Tinea and Ella to Miami.
In the spirit of partner swap week - we play our own game of swapsies⊠and no, donât worry - weâre not swapping lives with Georges (we donât have the endurance to do that many squats). But we do work out who from this yearâs Brides and Grooms that Mel would most like to be stuck in a lift withâŠ
So grab your remote (no, not the love egg remote, ThomasâŠ) because MAFS UK is on every Monday to Thursday night at 9pm on E4 and - of course - weâll be back with you next Thursday night straight after the show!
Righto, weâre off to go give an MBE to the member of the crew who found a bar called âArthurâsâ in Chelsea for Laura and Arthur to grab a drink in. We see you and we appreciate your attention to detail. -
Your new favourite girlband are here on todayâs podcast, and they are ready to give early noughties Destinyâs Child a run for their money. Oh, and itâs another spicy episode, so not one for sensitive ears, or kids, or your nan.
Yasmin is joined by MAFS alumni bride Chanita and current bride Tasha - and theyâre not the same person apparentlyâŠ!
We get Tashaâs perspective on the fall out with Erica, as well as some dinner party insight about how the lack of desserts led Chanita to playing the spoons at the table. Yep, spoons. Again. MAFS and spoons, the love-hate marriage nobody saw coming.
Weâre playing our own version of love/hate week; how does Tasha feel about gravy and reclining a seat on the plane? And what does Chanita have to say about tickling and crocs? Thereâs only one way to find out, and thatâs by listening to this excellent podcast.
MAFS UK is on every Monday to Thursday night at 9pm on E4, you know the drill by now, and weâll be back with you next Thursday night straight after the show for the big debrief!
Right, weâve got ÂŁ88 to spend, so weâre off to the upstairs bit of Ann Summers ;) -
The weatherâs really taken a turn this week hasnât it?! And these cold, clear nights can only mean one thing⊠a chance to witness some Northern DeLights.
Yasmin is joined on the couch by the very talented and stylish Sonny Jay, and the Kim K of Canning Town himself, itâs gorgeous new groom Mark! And strap yourself in, because thereâs some naughty language in this weekâs episode - definitely not one for the kids!
We find out just how late Mark was to his wedding⊠and why that shirt was SO special. Sonny and Mark have a special connection over an affinity for orange and navy outfits, and Yasmin wants to know how many more terms our brides and grooms are going to have for, erm, having a lovely adult time together?
And despite the epic fail on Adrienne and Mattâs honeymoon while playing âWould You Ratherâ, we give it a go in the studio while we ponder lifeâs biggest decisions, like if you were forced to get married in the wrong shirt, or to someone who was wearing, *sharp intake of breath* a black suit.
MAFS UK is on every Monday to Thursday night at 9pm on E4, you know the drill by now, and weâll be back with you next Thursday night straight after the show for the big debrief!
Now settle down⊠the Burnley v Essex match is starting! -
MAKE SOME NOISE FOR DJ TERENCE! THIS ONEâS FOR THE BRIDES AND GROOMS IN THE HOUSE!!!! CAN I HEAR YOU SCREAAAAAAAAM?!
Itâs Groom Terenceâs lucky day as heâs on the couch with writer and presenter ChantĂ© Joseph and our wonderful expert Charlene Douglas.
Yasmin and ChantĂ© *opine* about the departures of our first couples, the boys gossiping, and some friction between two of our brides. Terence gives us the tea on his time in the experiment (no milk or sugar though, so we donât need a spoon), and Charlene tells us whatâs in her box of tricks (cue a *lively* discussion about penis rings - consider this your warning!)
Plus thereâs some intense eye gazing (itâs definitely not a competition, though) between Terence and Yasmin, and Queen Charlene ups the jeopardy with a final decision that could see the podcast binned off forever - eek!
MAFS UK is on every Monday to Thursday night at 9pm on E4 so make sure you donât miss an episode, and weâll be back with you next Thursday night straight after the show, so weâll see you then!
Anyone for a game of spin the bottle?! -
Weâre pleased to announce that we have removed all the serving spoons from the apartments. Yes, our couples may have to spend Sunday lunch picking up steaming hot roast potatoes with their bare hands, but we think itâs for the best.
Married At First Sight alumni Groom Adrian is this weekâs guest, and heâs joined on the couch by one of our lovely Brides Porscha.
QUICK!!! Call the police because we have intruders!! No, actually, wait! ⊠Itâs just some new singles casually meeting for the first time at the altar, no biggie! And this week, our previously married couples have been confessing to one another, plus thereâs another Dinner Party and Commitment Ceremony for us to debrief on!
Meanwhile, Yasminâs feeling a little bit left out as sheâs fighting for her place in a thruple with Adrian and Porscha, Adrian is NOT holding back, and Porscha tells us her side of the spoon-gate drama. Plus thereâs warm feet for all, in our high budget, glitzy game of âHonesty Socksâ.
MAFS UK is on every Monday to Thursday night at 9pm on E4, so make sure youâre back here next week for the ultimate lowdown on all the action. Meanwhile, Yasmin and Adrian will be making membership badges for the Paul fan club. Who wants in?!
P.S. ⊠Did you know JJâs ex was a model? Not sure if he mentioned it. - Laat meer zien
