MAFS UK set for explosive secret ‘bonus’ episode after most dramatic series yet – and it’s filming very soon
MAFS UK has been so explosive this series, bosses have ordered a top-secret ‘bonus’ episode that will film in the coming weeks.
The one-off special will give fans a chance to catch up on all the dramas and tensions that have unfolded off camera between the show’s brides and grooms while the series has been airing.
A show insider said: “This series of Married At First Sight started filming way back in February, and there was also a reunion filmed in July – so it was all in the can before any of this series had been aired.
“As the episodes have been screened, the cast have seen things unfold that they weren’t aware of at the time of filming, so a lot of dynamics have changed since the reunion episode was shot in the summer.
“The relationship status of some of the couples has also been up and down in the last few months, so Channel 4 bosses wanted to get the key faces from the series back together to give fans the most up-to-date gossip.
“It’s bound to be very explosive. A lot of the cast have been quite fiery and opinionated about each other on social media since the show has been on, so expect all of that to spill out on camera.”
The format of the special is still being kept under wraps and, at this stage, even the cast don’t know exactly who will be a part of it.
The source added: “The exact cast list hasn’t been finalised yet but expect to see all of the biggest breakout stars from this series back in the same room together.
“It’s a chance to reopen old wounds, settle new scores and find out everything that’s happened since the cameras stopped rolling.”
The Sun understands that the special will film before Christmas, but unlike in previous years, will not be a festive-themed edition.
“At this moment in time, it’s not being billed as a Christmas special, it will be more of a standalone thing,” our insider explains.
“It’s set to be the most dramatic, explosive special that Married At First Sight fans have ever seen, so watch this space…”
