This season of Married at First Sight UK is looking to spice things up with six new singles joining the experiment.
Like in previous seasons, MAFS UK series 10 is having more couples walk down the aisle as their co-stars have already gone through their honeymoon phases and are settling in their married life.
Airing next Monday, a new MAFS UK episode will introduce the first of six new singles who will celebrate their stag and hen dos before two of them meet for the very first time at the altar.
Let's have a look at the six new contestants who are entrusting their love life to experts Paul C. Brunson, Mel Schilling and Charlene Douglas.
Abi
34-year-old veterinary nurse Abi was born in Reading but raised in Lebanon, where she lived until she was 14. Now she lives in Bournemouth, where she gets to care for animals daily.
Outside of work, Abi has competed at most levels of the female bodybuilding circuit.
What to Read Next
Abi has never had a long-term relationship and is convinced that "you should never settle for anything less than you think you deserve". She's done a fair bit of dating and, she's been burned multiple times.
Keen to fix this string of bad luck, Abi has asked the experts for a "respectful, athletic, muscular man who has a similar healthy lifestyle".
