As a result of Tasha and Paul’s split, there’s now only one couple remaining from MAFS UK’s 2023 series, and it’s a couple that wasn't even matched by the experts.
Matt Pilmoor and Shona Manderson remain a couple after meeting on the E4 reality show.
Matt was originally coupled up with Adrienne Naylor but after a few rows at dinner parties, they decided to go their separate ways.
Meanwhile, Shona was paired with Brad Skelly, but they were asked to leave the experiment after the experts spotted red flags in their relationship.
Following their respective break-ups, Shona and Matt began dating outside of the show before returning together for a MAFS reunion special.
Married at First Sight UK airs on E4 in the UK. Married at First Sight Australia airs on Nine Network in Australia and E4 in the UK.
