The show in which total strangers tie the knot within their first few minutes of meeting is looking for a fresh bunch of hopeless romantics. Yes, Channel 4's Married At First Sight UK is once again in search of singletons on the lookout for love. With the help of a panel of experts, contestants will hopefully discover their ideal match. So, if you fancy taking part, here's how to apply for Married At First Sight UK.

As noted on the official Married At First Sight UK application page, Channel 4 are “looking for brave singles” for potential future series of the “unique relationship” show. To apply, you must be aged 18 and over, and email your name, age, and contact number to marriedatfirstsight@cplproductions.co.uk. It really couldn't be simpler.

For those unfamiliar with the format, Married At First Sight sees two complete strangers matched together by a team of experts who carry out a meticulous matchmaking process during their quest to secure the most compatible couples. The preliminary research part of the show include personality-based exams, interviews, and even a hair strand test. The chosen pair then walk down the aisle just moments after meeting for the very first time, and are later whisked away on their honeymoon as a married couple. Arriving back in the UK, the newlyweds then move in together for seven weeks, before deciding on whether or not they'd like to stay married or go their separate ways.

For the upcoming seventh series, the format of Married at First Sight UK will continue modelling itself on the hugely popular Australian version, which has become a reality TV highlight of many in recent years.

C4 bosses have said that this series will be “bigger and more dramatic than ever before” with 30 episodes, and see couples take part in a commitment ceremony as opposed to a legally binding marriage. Following the ceremony, participants will move into a shared house with all the other recently-matched couples, where they’ll meet for weekly dinner parties and commitment ceremonies throughout their stay.

Married At First Sight UK airs Mondays to Thursdays at 9 p.m on E4.
