Married At First Sight experts say new series is most dramatic one yet – promising explosive scenes EVERY week
THE new series of Married At First Sight is set to be the most EXPLOSIVE yet, according to the experts.
A fresh batch of singles will say “I do” to a complete stranger in the E4 show which kicks off once more on August 29.
Experts Charlene Douglas, 41, Paul C Brunson, 47, and Mel Schilling, 50, who assist the contestants, spoke to The Sun about the show bursting at the seams with drama this year.
Mel discussed the dramatic scenes coming up on the show in an exclusive chat with The Sun, and shared: “While I don’t think anyone will ever rival former contestant Nikita Jasmine there’s more consistent drama this year.
“Last series there was an explosive moment or two but this season we have some of that every single week and almost everyone gets a turn!”
Charlene added: “There are a lot of big personalities and people who are very expressive in the ways they choose to share what they’re feeling.
“There are moments where you are trying to keep a serious face but we’ll burst into laughter and be like ‘did they really just say that.’”

Expert Paul added: “It was definitely more challenging putting people together this time around.
“The participant and the person who wants to come onto these shows is more savvy now so it’s challenging to discern who actually wants love, but while it was more challenging up front this time the beauty of the three of us is that we’re professionals so we thrive off that challenge.
“We’ve had such diversity in the cast which created diversity in conversation which actually created more tension in the challenge. Professionally it’s rewarding.”
The 30-episode series will see the experts guide all the action, and viewers will also see two same-sex couples enter the show this year.
New concepts are being introduced into the show this year too, including a shock new twist that will see two ‘intruder’ couples thrown in.
